Prostaglandins, cyclo-oxygenase and the GIT HPETE PGH
Linoleic acid (diet) Eicosanoids Membrane Phospholipids Phospho- lipase A2 Arachidonic acid PG LTs LX
Cell membrane phospholipids Phospholipase A2 Corticosteroids lipoxins isoprostanes epoxygenase Arachidonic acid Cyclooxygenase Lipoxygenase NSAID’s HPETE PGH PGI TX PGE/F/D HETE LT
Arachidonic acid Leukotriene synthesis Mast cells, macro-phages, leukocytes Lipo-oxygenase LTC4 HPETE LTB4 Broncho-constrictor chemotaxis LTD4 LTA4
Arachidonic acid Prostaglandin synthesis Cyclo-oxygenase PGE2 PGG2 Renal GIT PGH2 VSM platelets VSM GIT PGI2 PGF2 TXA2
Cyclo-oxygenase isoforms COX-I COX-II constitutive inducible GIT Platelets renal vascular inflammation
Pain & inflammation PG’s sensitize nociceptors to bradykinin, substance P, histamine PG’s = inflammation = pain NSAID’s decrease PG’s
protects against stomach acid GIT mucosal protection PGE2 decrease HCl increase mucous increase sub mucosal blood flow increase bicarbonate
long/circular muscle GIT peristalsis PGE2 PGF2 diarrhoea cramping
Renal PGE2 Only under compromised conditions • renal failure • severe dehydration • antihypertensive • furosemide maintain GFR blood flow naturesis
prostacyclin Thrombosis VSM -ve COX-I Ca2+ +ve Platelets TXA2 aggregation clots
Inhibit PG synthesis Mainly peripheral Cortical site? Inhibition of COX-I Inhibition of COX-II Pain relief and NSAID’s
PG synthesis Central -hypothalamus Interleukin 1 mediated Anti-pyretic
Not related to corticosteroids Inhibit cyclo-oxygenase I & II Different kinetics Effective as aspirin Anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic Less toxic? Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID’s)
Non steroid anti -inflammatory drugs indomethacin naproxen diclofenac ibuprofen MOA • COX-II = COX-I • provide symptomatic relief • Adverse effects • Not antiplatelet?
Common but mild Mild dyspepsia, heart burn, GORD Rare but lethal Perforation, ulcer, bleeds Obstructions PG via COX-I (mucosa) Side effects of NSAID's & aspirin GIT
Bleeding Hypersensitivity 1: 200 people Renal Effect Renal blood flow Antihypertensive Adverse effects cont.............................
Prevent ulcers PGE1 misoprostil PPI ) No acid, no ulcer replace mucosal PG diarrhoea cramp prevent NSAID’s ulcers
Misoprostil Cramps, diarrhoea, women • other • sucralfate? • H2RA antagonists? • Proton pump inhibitors COX-II specific Adverse effects NSAID’s…
Selective COX– II inhibitors Non steroid anti -inflammatory drugs COX-II COX-I Inflammation Synthesized de novo House keeping GIT, renal, platelets
NSAID’s COX II selective /specific meloxicam celecoxib MOA • COX - II>COX - I • provide symptomatic relief • not antiplatelet!! • CVS effects??
Central site Analgesic Antipyretic Not anti-inflammatory No action on peripheral cyclo-oxygenase Less GIT Irritation Alternative to aspirin Paracetamol
Toxicity 10g is toxic!! N-acetyl cysteine antidote Less if alcohol is added How strong analgesic? Very little dose response 500mg = 750 =1000mg No response over 1000mg Paracetamol
