Anti-Inflammatory Pharmacology
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug | class of pharmaceutical that exerts an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting prostaglandin and/or leukotrienes but is not composed of a cholesterol "core" |
COX-1 Function | synthesizes "protective" prostaglandins like PGI2 in the GI mucosa and renal tubule epithelium |
COX-2 Function | synthesizes pro-inflammatory prostaglandins |
Non-Selective NSAIDs MOA | inhibit activity of COX-1 and COX-2 results in decreased PGG2 and PGH2 production |
PGG2 and PGH2 | precursors for general prostaglandin synthesis |
Only NSAID that Permanently Inhibits COX | aspirin (through acetylation) possibly phenylbutazone |
NSAID General Properties | most are organic acids high plasma protein binding ionized form more extensively excreted in urine |
Pathophysiology of NSAID Action | suppress inflammatory prostaglandin synthesis suppress WBC degranulation and diapedesis decrease injury/destruction from WBCs reduce tissue edema reduce visceral and musculoskeletal pain suppresses hyper-coagulation states reduces life-threatening p |
Best NSAID for Visceral Abdominal Pain | flunixin meglumine (Banamine) |
Best NSAID for Musculoskeletal Pain | phenylbutazone |
Novel NSAID Uses | tx certain neoplastic dz such as osteosarcoma maintain gestation closer of premature PDA diagnostic determination of bone marrow platelet production |
NSAID Sequelae | GI ulceration renal toxicity if co-administered w/ aminoglycosides increase risk of haemorrhage renal toxicity (pseudo-OD) if hypoproteinemic displacement of protein-bound pharmaceuticals |
C/I for NSAIDs | renal tubular dysfunction GI ulceration existing/ongoing haemorrhage |
Non-Selective NSAIDs | salicylic acid para-aminophenols indole/indene acetates heteroacryl acetic acid arylpropionoates anthranilic acid enolic acids alkanones phenylbutazone, flunixin meglumine |
Selective COX-2 Inhibitor NSAID MOA | inhibit inflammatory PG's but avoid PGI2 inhibition |
Selective COX-2 NSAIDs | diaryl-substituted furanones diaryl-substituted pyrazoles indole acetic acid suflonanilides misc - meloxicam, topoxalin, carprofen, deracoxib |
Metabolization of NSAIDs | glycine, either/phenolic glucuronide, ester/acyl glucoronide conjugation rxns in mitochondria and smooth-ER in hepatocytes |
Metabolization of Aspirin | hydrolyzed to salicylic acid in GI tract, plasma, liver, and RBC cytosol |
Primary Excretion of NSAIDs | glomerular filtration/tubular secretions |
Decreases Renal Tubular Re-absorption | NSAID conjugation high urinary flow |
Dipyrone | NSAID that is less likely to mask severe visceral pain requiring surgery |
Leukotrienes | generated by the biochemical conversion of membrane phospholipids to arachidonic acid with lipoxoygenases to leukotrienes |
Proinflammatory Leukotrienes ("4-series") | LTB4 LTC4 LTD4 LTE4 |
Anti-inflammatory Leukotrienes ("5-series") | LTB5 LTC5 LTD5 LTE5 |
Zyleuton (Zyflo) | orally active inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase |
Monteleukast (Singulair) | leukotriene receptor antagonist |
Zafirlukast (Accolate) | oral leukotriene receptor antagonist |
Cetirizine hydrochloride (Zyrtec) | antihistamine and a racemic selective H1 receptor antagonist |
Leukotriene MOA's (4) | Anti-FLAP Agents LTB4 Receptor Antagonists 5-Lipoxygenase Inhibitor Agents LTC4, LTD4, LTE4 Receptor Antagonists |
Advantages of Leukotriene Inhibitors | suppress symptoms associated primarily with leukotriene over-production avoid side effects of anti-PG NSAIDs avoid CNS side effects of anti-histamines avoid side effects of glucocorticoids |
Theophylline Analogs MOA | inhibit cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase resulting in increased cAMP and increased cGMP --> bronchodilation |
Antihistamine Fxn | block histamine H1 receptors |
Results of Stimulation of H1 Receptors | vasodilation bronchoconstriction endothelial cell separation pain/itching |
Cromolyn Sulfate | antihistamine that suppresses degranulation of mast cells and leukotriene release used to prevent bronchospasms in feline asthma |
Glucocorticoid | anti-inflammatory agent that possess a cholesterol core structure highly bound to plasma proteins most are conjugated with sulfate or glucoronide |
Glucocorticoid MOA | inhibits phospholipase A2 --> reduces availability of arachidonic acid substrate --> decreased production of COX, leukotrienes, HETE, HPETE also stabilizes cellular membranes inhibition of PA2 inhibition of nuclear receptor complexes --> immunosuppress |
Glucocorticoid Physiological Effects | resist stressful scenarios stimulates gluconeogenesis, enhances glycogen deposition adipose tissue redistribution mediates lipolysis |
Glucocorticoid Metabolism | sequential addition of H+ or O atoms --> conjugation rxns |
Synthetic Glucocorticoid Metabolism | hepatic 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase |
Clinical Applications of Glucocorticoids | anti-inflammatory vascular collapse cerebral edema immunosuppression renal disease hepatic disease lymphoreticular neoplasia |
Antu-Inflammatory More Effective in Managing Visceral Pain | NSAIDs over Glucocorticoids |
Glucocorticoid Sequelae | protein synthesis inhibition immunosuppression GI ulceration corneal ulcer exacerbation renal dysfunction degenerative joint disease |
Steroid Hormone Inhibitors | mitotane ketoconazole (Cushing's/Hyperadrenocorticism) aminoglutethimide (breast/prostate carcinoma) metyrapone (Cushing's) trilostane (cancer) cyproheptadine (PDH) pergolide (PDH) |
Crysotherapeutics MOA | suppress abnormal immune response by inhibiting macrophage and T-lymphocyte maturation |
Crysotherapeutic Uses | may cure auto-immune conditions Ex: pemphigus foliaceus, pemphigus vulgaris, rheumatoid arthritis, sjogren syndrome, lupus |
Diagnostic Use of Corticosteroids and ACTH | differentiating a pituitary tumor from an adrenal tumor in Cushing's syndrome |
Ketoconazole (agent, fxn, sequelae) | antifungal agent inhibits biosynthetic capacity of cytochrome P450, making it one of the most effective tx of Cushing's causes hepatic dysfxn and inhibits Rx activation |
