what is the overall MOA for NSAIDs
inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by inhibition of cyclooxygenase(COX)
what is the pathologic process that causes fever?
pyrogens increase the production of IL-1 in phaocytic cells IL-1 acts on the anterior hypothalamus to increase the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins increase the set-point temperature, setting in motion the heat-generating mechanism that increase body temperature and produce fever.
what is the pathology behind peripheral pain sensation?
b. Peripheral sensory pain receptors are free nerve endings in the skin, muscle, and viscera (nociceptors). Substance P is a neurotransmitter for nociceptors. Sensations of pain are processes by the anterolateral system.
what is the pathology behind inflammation
d. Acute and chronic inflammation involve products of arachadonic acid metabolism, namely prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
i. Prostacyclin (PGI2): vasodilation, inhibits platelet aggregation
ii. Thromboxane A2: causes vasoconstriction, promotes platelet aggregation
iii. Prostaglandin D2 and E2: vasodilation, increased vascular permeability
iv. 5-HETE and LTB4: chemotaxis of inflammatory cells
v. Leukotriene C4, D4, and E4: vasoconstriction, bronchospasm, increased vascular permeability
Describe the mechanism of action of analgesic-antipyretic and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
a. These drugs inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (aka prostaglandin synthetase).
what are the three isozymes of the cyclooxgenase?
cox-1-houskeeping isozyme its product plays a role in normal body functions and homiostatis

cox-2 is the inducible isozyme and its products promote inflammations

cox-3 isnt important
what iszymes do NSAIDs analgesic and antipyretics work on
Cox -1

and

Cox-2
what do prostaglandins cause
alterations of vascular permeability, bronchial constriction, increased secretions

this manifests as bronchospasm, congestion, and mucus plugging
what are the two types of NSAIDS
NONspecific NSAIDs-(aspirin) inhibit both cox 1 and cox-2

specific NSAIDs- inhibit only cox 2
what does lipooxygenase do?
creates leukotrienes which facilitate inflamation

some NSAIDS affect these as well as the COX
what are the therapeutic uses of NSAIDs
analgesics(mainly pain from inflammation) - lower maximal effect than opoids, no addiction, free of CNS effects

antipyretic- lowers temp only during fever, by lowering prostaglandins which mediate as pyrogens and by blocking IL-1

antiinflammatory-by inhibition of PG

other(dysmenorrhea, patent ductus arteriosus, colon cancer prevention
what are some side effects of NSAIDS
GI ulcerations and intolerance

blockade of platelet aggreegation(inhibition of synthesis)from cox 1

inhibition of uterine motility (inhibtion of induction of labor)

inhibition of prostaglandin mediated renal effects

inhibtion of thomboxane and loss of platelt aggregations
if patient has hypersensitity to aspirin what could happen
cross sensitivity to other NSAIDs
what can be given to aleaveate GI issue caused by NSAIDs
misoprostol(cytotec) synthetic PGE1 analog

can cause diarrhea
what side effects do COX 2 inhibitors not have that nonselective COX inhibitor do
GI ulcerations and tolerance

inhibtion of platelet function
what is effect of aspirin
analgesic antipyretic and antiinflammartory agent
what is MOA of aspriin

effects on platlets persist for 8-10days

15-30min half life
what are some adverse effects specific to aspirin?

what can be used as antidote to acetaminophen overdose?
nacetylcysteine(mucomyst)
waht is the duration of acetaminophen
1-4hour half life
what is the MOA of acetaminophen overdose that leads to fatal liver necrosis
P450 breaks acetaminophen down into a toxic intermediate N-aceyl-beta-benzoquinone imine

in normal doses that intermediate is conjugated with glutathione to become mercapturic acid which is nontoxic and excreted

if there is to much of the toxic intermediate then it can bind to macromolecules in nucleophilic cells and cause cell death
