    Study Notes

    Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) Classification

    • Non-selective COX inhibitors affect both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes.
    • Categories include salicylic acid derivatives (e.g., aspirin), acetic acid derivatives (e.g., indomethacin, diclofenac), and propionic acid derivatives (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen).
    • Selective COX-2 inhibitors comprise celecoxib, etoricoxib, and meloxicam.

    Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin)

    Chemistry and Pharmacokinetics

    • Complete oral absorption predominantly occurs in the stomach and upper gastrointestinal tract.
    • Aspirin is widely distributed across tissues, including the central nervous system.
    • Metabolism by hepatic microsomal enzymes varies with dosage: first-order at low doses and zero-order at high doses.
    • Urinary excretion increases with alkaline urine (pH 8), enhancing ionization and reducing reabsorption.

    Mechanism and Pharmacological Effects

    • Acts as a non-selective and irreversible COX inhibitor, leading to decreased production of prostaglandins (PGs) and thromboxanes (TXs).
    • Analgesic for mild to moderate pain through:
      • Peripheral effects: reduction of PG synthesis in inflamed tissues.
      • Central effects: decreased PG synthesis in the thalamus and hypothalamus.

    Antipyretic Effect

    • Lowers elevated body temperature without inducing hypothermia.
    • Mechanisms involve decreasing PGE2 synthesis and the hypothalamic response to interleukin-1, promoting sweating and vasodilation.

    Anti-inflammatory, Immunological, and Rheumatic Effects

    • Inhibiting COX leads to decreased activation and chemotaxis of inflammatory cells, reduced capillary permeability, and stabilization of lysosomal membranes.

    Respiratory Effects

    • Low toxic doses result in metabolic acidosis followed by compensatory hyperventilation and possible prolonged respiratory alkalosis.
    • High toxic doses can cause severe acidosis, potentially leading to death.

    Cardiovascular Effects

    • Therapeutic doses have no significant effect, while toxic doses can inhibit vasomotor center leading to circulatory failure.

    Gastrointestinal Effects

    • Acute gastric ulcers arise from large doses; acute ingestion traps salicylate ions in gastric mucosal cells, leading to bleeding.
    • Chronic ulcers develop from repeated use, as inhibition of protective PG synthesis contributes to sustained injury.

    Hepatic Effects

    • Mild, reversible hepatic injury characterized by asymptomatic increases in transaminases.
    • Severe injury, known as Reye’s syndrome, involves fatty infiltration of organs when aspirin is given for viral infections in children, leading to encephalopathy.

    Hematologic Effects

    • Antiplatelet action through irreversible COX inhibition decreases thromboxane A2 and platelet aggregation, leading to prolonged bleeding times in high doses.

    Renal Effects

    • Chronic analgesic nephropathy may develop from long-term aspirin abuse, causing renal ischemia due to reduced renal prostaglandin synthesis.
    • Aspirin can decrease the effectiveness of diuretics and antagonize their effects on blood pressure.

    Metabolic Effects

    • High doses can lead to accelerated oxidative phosphorylation, resulting in tachycardia and hyperpyrexia.

    Uterine Effects

    • Aspirin can delay labor and prolong pregnancy by inhibiting prostaglandins necessary for uterine contractions; use after 20 weeks of pregnancy is discouraged.

    Therapeutic Uses of Salicylates

    • Analgesic and antipyretic for mild-to-moderate pain but should not be routinely used to manage fever as it may interfere with protective responses.
    • Anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic properties beneficial for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
    • Used as an antithrombotic to reduce clot formation.

    Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) Classification

    • Non-selective COX inhibitors affect both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes.
    • Categories include salicylic acid derivatives (e.g., aspirin), acetic acid derivatives (e.g., indomethacin, diclofenac), and propionic acid derivatives (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen).
    • Selective COX-2 inhibitors comprise celecoxib, etoricoxib, and meloxicam.

    Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin)

    Chemistry and Pharmacokinetics

    • Complete oral absorption predominantly occurs in the stomach and upper gastrointestinal tract.
    • Aspirin is widely distributed across tissues, including the central nervous system.
    • Metabolism by hepatic microsomal enzymes varies with dosage: first-order at low doses and zero-order at high doses.
    • Urinary excretion increases with alkaline urine (pH 8), enhancing ionization and reducing reabsorption.

    Mechanism and Pharmacological Effects

    • Acts as a non-selective and irreversible COX inhibitor, leading to decreased production of prostaglandins (PGs) and thromboxanes (TXs).
    • Analgesic for mild to moderate pain through:
      • Peripheral effects: reduction of PG synthesis in inflamed tissues.
      • Central effects: decreased PG synthesis in the thalamus and hypothalamus.

    Antipyretic Effect

    • Lowers elevated body temperature without inducing hypothermia.
    • Mechanisms involve decreasing PGE2 synthesis and the hypothalamic response to interleukin-1, promoting sweating and vasodilation.
