list 3 general properties of NSAIDS
prevention of arachidonic acid release  1. anti-inflammatory2. anti-pyretic 3. analgesic
what is the general mechanism of action of NSAIDS
inhibiton of COX prevents the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins
aspirn (acetylsalicylic acid) mechanism of action
IRREVERSIBLE inhibitor of COX via acetylation of serine group
aspirn (acetylsalicylic acid) is an IRREVERSIBLE inhibitor of the COX enzymes. What is the therapeutic implication of this in terms of anti-platelet therapy?
Platelets express COX1  and produce TXA2 which promotes platelet aggregation. Plateles do not have a nuclues so when aspirin irreversibly inhibits COX, the effect lasts for several days until new platelets are synthesized. Endothelial cells express COX1 and COX2 but they synthesize PGI2 which inhibits platelet aggregation. Endothelial cells can make new COX after aspirin inhibits it. THis tips the prostaglandin balance to the PGI2/ anti-aggregation state
list three unique effects of aspirin/ slicylates that are not releated to inhibition of COX
1. uric acid excrestion: low doese=decrease, high dose=increase 2. CNS-delirium, psycoses, nausea, vom. toxicity 3. direct stimulation of respiratory center, increase rate, respiratory alkalosis, indirect stimultion via increase in oxygen consumtion and CO2 production in skeletal muscle
describe the affect of aspirin on uric acid excretion
1. low dose-aspirin cometes with uric acid for secretion by transporter into renal tubules, leads to decreased excretion 2. high dose= aspirin competes for both secretion and reabs, leads to increased excretion
describe the GI side effects associated with NSAIDS
inhibtion of COX leads to a decrease in the produciton of PGI2, PGE, prevents cytoprotective effects leading to ulcers and bleeding, can Tx w/ misoprostol a PGE analog
describe the blood side effects associated with NSAIDS
increased bleeding time, inhibiton of COX1 in platelet blocks produciton of TXA and decreases aggregation (note implication of aspirin as irreversible blocker, endothleial production of anti-aggregation PGI2)
Describe the hypersensitivty reaciton associaited with NSAIDS
bronchoconstriciton, edema, may be due to action of leukotrienes because of shunting of AA form COX to lipoxygenase pathway
describe the renal side effects associated with NSAID use
decreased renal blood flow and GFR, salt and water retention due to inhibiton of COX1= decrease PGI2, PGE2 vasodilatory effect, very important in pts with  congestive heart failure, chornic renal disease, or liver disease
describe the implications of NSAID use in pregnancy
inhibition of COX= decrasein PGE, PGF can decrease uterine contracitons and prolong labor, also PGE matains patent DA, could have premature closure
describe salicylism
aspirin overdose, swtich to zero order kinetics, respiratory stimulation, nausea, vomiting, tinnitus deafness, confusion, fever, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, metabolic acidodsis, Tx=gastric lavage, charcoal, replace fluid and electrolytes, alkalization of urine
Describe Reye's syndrome
unique to aspirin, in children  link between viral infection and taking aspirin, can result in liver failure and death
ibuprophen mechanism, use
NSAID,  reversible COX 1/2 inhibitor, shorter 1/2 life than naproxen, tx inflammatory disease, rehumatoid disorders, pain ,fever, injection to induce closure of PDA
naproxen mechanism and use
NSAID reversible, COX 1/2 inhibitor, longer t1/2 than ibuprophen, tx ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid disorders, acute goute, pain , tendonitis, bursitis, fever
indomethacin mechanism and use
NSAID, reversible COX 1/2 inhibitor, acute goutly athritis, burisits, tendonitis, osteoarthtis, AnkS. close PDA, decrease pre term labor
ketorolac mechanism and use
NSAID, reversible COX 1/2 inhibitor, manage of moderate to severe acute pain, opoid alternative
nabumetone mechanism and use
NSAID, reversible inhibitor of COX 2> COX1, prodrug-converted to active metabolite, used for osteoarthitis, rheumatoid arthitis
Piroxicam mechanism and use
NSAID, reversible  COX 1/2 inhibitor, very long half life, tx rehumatoid and osteo arthtis
sulfasalazine mechanism and use
NSAID but effect is not relaed to inhibiton of COX, action= inhibiton of production of IL-1, TNFa, inhibit LOX pathway, scavenge free radicals/ oxidants, inhibit NFKB,  azo linkage prevents abs in stomach and small intestine, effective delivery to distal GI,  used for ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, ANKS
celecoxib mechanism and use
seletive COX 2 inhibitor, decreased risk of GI side effects,  Tx arthritis, dysmenorrhea, acute apin, reduce # of polyps in FAP
acetaminophen mechanism and use
inhibits reduction of COX enzyme to peroxidase for but No affinity for active site, analgesic and anti-pyretic but NOT ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, note toxicity esp w/ alcohol (occurs when metabolized by CYP450 and GST is exhausted)
describe gout
inflammatory reaction to sodium urate crystals that are deposited in the join, associated w/ hyperuricemia but not sole determinant
how do NSAIDS (other than aspirin) treat gout
usually indomethacin, provide symptomatic relief, decrease inflammation
how do corticosteriods treat gout
dramatic symptomatic relief by decreasing inflammation, useful for those with contraindication to nsaids
how does colchicine treat gout
exact mechanism not known, antimitotic effects arrest cell division in G1 by interfering with microtuble and spindle formation, decreases crystal induced secretion of chemotatcitc factors and SO2- by neutrophils, limits neutrophil adhesion to endotheilum
colchicine mechanism and use
treats goute, exact mechanism not known, antimitotic effects arrest cell division in G1 by interfering with microtuble and spindle formation, decreases crystal induced secretion of chemotatcitc factors and SO2- by neutrophils, limits neutrophil adhesion to endotheilum

how are NSAIDS used to treat RA
anti-inflammatory changes if given in large doses for long periods of ime but no evidence that they effect the progression of the disease, symptomatic relief only
Etanercept mechanism and use

why should a pt with CHF use NSAIDS with caution
NSAIDS decrease prostaglanins. PGE2 and I2 dilate the renal vasculature to maintain perfusion in the kidneys when AngII is constricting everything else. Ang II is high in pts with CHF, NSAID inibition of prostaglandins would cause a decrease in renal perfusion
