This powerpoint works best only if you are using office-2007.Some features of the given presentation may not work if you are using older version(97-2003) of office.
• This is not a LECTURE……………this is a discussion… sadly … not live !!!
• Objective is not to bombard information but to develop concepts….
• So.. Get ready to chat !!
!!! GO SLOW !! Best luck !!!
INTRODUCTION• NSAIDs means.. “Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs”• If you want to study ANTI INFLAMMATORY drugs , you should know ……• What is inflammation ?...
– “Response of the body to injurious stimuli”– So it is beneficial.
• Than why it is required to be suppressed ?– Because at times it can be in EXAGGERATED form and can be….– Harmful to body– Extremely disturbing to the patient
5
Which are the features of inflammation… ?
1. Heat/fever 2. Swelling 3. Pain 4. Redness5. Loss of function
NSAIDS addresses mainly FEVER, PAIN AND SWELLING.Redness is not a problem from functional point of view.Loss of function is usually restored when FEVER , PAIN and SWELLING are
taken care of “if” it is due to those features..Loss of function because of permanent fibrosis can not be reversed.
IN ONE WAY, fever and pain are beneficial ….. HOW ?
6
7
So both phenomenon are beneficial
• But when these reflexes are EXAGGERATED it is required to be suppressed because ……
• RAISED TEMPERATURE ….– May make a person incapable for doing his job.– May inactivate several enzymes required to
maintain normal metabolism.– In extreme cases…interfere with the state of
consciousness.
• EXCESSIVE PAIN …– May interfere with the quality of life.– May frighten the patient.– In extreme cases …may produce shock …

• We will study both pathways…• Now get ready for a LONG CHAIN OF
CHEMICAL REACTIONS …• This chemical reactions are IMPORTANT..• Products of this pathway PRODUCE
NUMEROUS ACTIONS.• They are the sites of pharmacological
intervention.

Summary of the chart…• Cycloxygenase pathway generates …
– TXA2.– PGD2– PGE2– PGF2α– PGI2.
• How to remember it ?• Alphabetical order is … DEFGH• Here first … G & H and then D E F.
• Lipoxygenase pathway generates – 12 HPETE through 12-lipoxygenase– 15 HPETE through 15-lipoxygenase– 5-HETE through 5-Lipoxygenase
• 5-HETE subsequently produces …– LTA4 LTB4– LTA4 LTC4 LTD4 LTE4
14
• So that was CHEMISTRY part of inflammation…
• Now their FUNCTIONAL part….• There are so many mediators of
inflammation..• Which causes numerous effects….
15
16
They are Opposite !!! Store it in your mind !!!
17
It is not possible to remember
everything !! Don’t worry !!
• Its not possible to remember ALL THE EFFECTS of ALL THE MEDIATORS.
• Just try to remember the NAMES OF MEDIATORS and
• MAJOR EFFECT produced by it.
18
PAIN
• Unpleasant experience• Protective reflex
– Warning bell of tissue damage !!
• Interferes with Quality Of Life.• Two components
– Sensations peripheral component– Perception central component
19
CLASSIFICATION
• Superficial or cutaneus pain• Deep pain from muscle,joints,ligaments and
bones.• Visceral pain-(spasm,infla.,ischemia,stim. Of
nerve endings)• Deafferentiation pain /neuropathic pain-
(damage to axons or nerve membranes)• Psychological/Functional
20
• Now move ahead for “PAIN PATHWAY”• 1ST Slide shows afferent pathway. ( periphery to
centre).• 2nd Slide shows efferent pathway.(centre to
periphery).• Again you are not expected to remember it, but you
should have an idea about nuts and bolts of pain circuits.

V. Reproductive Organs
31
VI. Pain and Inflammation1. PGE2, PGI2, LTB4: sensitize nerve endings to painful
stimuli.2. Hyperemia, Edema, Hotness due to increased
eicosanoids at inflammation sites.3. LTB4: chemotactic factor for neutrophils and
mononuclear cells. Promotes aggregation and degranulation of PMN’s, adhesion to vessel wall and migration
Pharmacological/Physiological Effects
PGS produce PAIN… how ?
32
PGS produces FEVER….. How ?
• Hypothalamus contains thermoregulatory centre
• Maintains balance between heat production and heat loss
• It regulates heat dissipating mechanisms
33
34
PGs PRODUCES INFLAMMATION … HOW ?
35
INFLAMMATION
Mechanism Of Action : NSAIDS
36
MOST IMPORTANT MECHANISM
Efficacy of these mechanisms is
doubtful..So you are not
required to remember
everything!! Just keep in mind that such mechanisms
exist !!
COX-1• Physiologically expressed• Maintains the normal
(house keeping) function.• Expressed in ..
– Platelets – GIT
COX-2• Induced in pathological
states (mostly)• Physiologically expressed in
kidney.
37
So NON SPECIFIC NSAIDS
produces bleeding
tendency and peptiuc ulcer
38
39
SALICYLATES
40
Analgesic activity
• No impairment of mental activity. No hypnosis
• Major component peripheral action• Minor component central action
• Can be combined with opioids
• ONLY NSAID THAT BLOCKS THE COX ENZYME IRRERVERSIBLY
• NSAIDS suppresses the pain arising out of bones and joints exception DYSMENORRHEA 41
NSAIDS blocks..
42
REDUCES THE INTENSITY OF
PAIN
ANTIPYRETIC ACTIVITY
• Hypothalamus contains thermoregulatory centre
• Maintains balance between heat production and heat loss
• It regulates heat dissipating mechanisms
43
Reduces fever due to inflammation. But not due to…1.Heat stroke2.Exercise induced/Physiological diurnal variation in temperature
NSAIDS inhibits PGE2 synthesis and
reduces fever
GIT
44
So Use aspirin with Plenty of water or after foodMilkAlkaliSoluble of buffered aspirin
ANTIINFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY
• Decrease PG in peripheral tissue• Reduce capillary permeability• Inhibition of neutrophil aggregation and
activation• Inhibition of activated kallikrein from inactive
plasma and leucocyte kallikrein.• Inhibite mucopolysaccheride biosynthesis
reduce edema.
45
BLOOD AND PLATELETS
• Antiplatelet action• Irreversibe COX inhibition• 75-150 mg OD• Platelet activity starts after 7-10 days when
new platelets are synthesized.• IN RHEU. FEVER aspirin reduces WBC count
and ESR.• Decrease fibrinogen level
46
URICOSURIC ACTION
• Urate present in glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed by proximal tubule
• Excretion occurs because of tubular secretion.
47
PHARMACOKINETICS• ABSORPTION :
– Skin– GIT
• Particle size• pH• Solubility of salicylate preparation• Presence of food
• DISTRIBUTION:– 80% Albumin– Achieves significant concentration in saliva,milk,spinal,synovial fluid, peritoneal fluid
and in RBCs.– HIGH AMOUNT liver, heart and muscle– SMALL AMOUNT brain.
48
So little central action.
• MetabolismAspirin
• 300-600 mg dose : 1st order kinetics• 1-2 gm dose : zero order kinetics toxicity
49
SalicylateDeacetylation
Salicylic acid
PHARMACOKINETICS
• EXCRETION :

MANAGEMENT OF SALICYLISM• Hospitalization• Gastric lavage• Rx of
– Hyperthermia– Dehydration– Hypokalamia– Acid base disturbances– Ketosis
• Alkalization• Vit,K, BLOOD TRANSFUSION
57
USES
• LOCAL APPLICATION– Keratolytic– Fungistatic– Antiseptic– Counter irritant– IBS
58
• ANALGESIC – Musculoskeletal pain– Dysmenorrhea
• ANTIPYRETIC– Remember, it reduces fever due to inflammation
but not due to ….?????
• ANTIINFLAMMATORY– Arthritis– Fibromyositis
59
60
Antirheumatic action
ANTIRHEUMATIC
61
ANTIPLATELET ACTION – Platelets aggregates and provides the nidus for thrombus formation.
– Platelet aggregation is prevented by PGI2 in circulation and
promoted by TXA2.
– Inhibition of TXA2 by Aspirin at LOWER DOSES (75-150 mg) reduce platelet aggregation.
– Platelet TXA2 remains irreversibly inhibited
– Only when new platelets are synthesized , platelet activity restarts (approx. 7-10 days)
– Stop aspirin one week prior to surgery.– Useful in …..thromboembolic disorders ( MI, TIA, Ischemic stroke, atherosclerotic PVDs)– Avoid aspirin in …..Liver damage Hypo prothombinemia Vit. K deficiency Haemophilia
62
• PDA :– PG mediadted– IV administration of 0.1 to 0.2 mg/kg every 12 hours for three doses. – 70% success..– Primarily in premature infants who weigh between 500 and 1750 g, – Who have a hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus, and– In whom other supportive maneuvers have been attempted.
• Several food allergy– PG mediadted
• Radiation induced diarrhoea– PGmediadted
• Local application in sunburn PG mediadted
• Systemic mastocytosis– Use with antihistaminics
• C0lon carcinoma – Familial adenomatous polyposis (fap)– Pgs involved in carcinogenesis– Inhibits angiogenesis
• Dysmenorrhoea :– Increase d PG in menstrual blood uterine cramps. 63

Diflunisal
• Cancer pain with bone metastases • For pain control in dental (third molar)
surgery. • 2% diflunisal oral ointment is a clinically useful
analgesic for painful oral lesions.
PARACETAMOL• Analgesic • Antipyretic• Central action> Peripheral action• 10–15 mg/kg every 4 hours (maximum of 5 doses/24 hours)• NO
– GI disturbances Acid-base imbalance Electrolyte imbalance Impairment of clotting
• ADR :– Extremely safe drug. But rarely produces …. Hepatic toxicity
66
67
Paracetamol overdose• Ingestion of >10g of paracetamol may be fatal• May be lower in chronic alcoholics or subjects with
underlying liver disease. Clinical featuresIn severe poisoning • Up to 24 hours - none or nausea and vomiting• > 24 hours - nausea and vomiting, right
upper quadrant pain, jaundice, encephalopathy
NAC SUPPLIES GLUTATHIONES
so detoxifies toxic
metabolites !!
NAC “MAY”directly conjugates with
quinones/epoxide.
MAY BE… NAC has additional
antioxidant and antiinflammato
ry activity
Management • Repeat blood paracetamol estimatations.
69
PARACETAMOL (acetaminophen)
• Now we will discuss all the remaining NSAIDs..• Their
– MOA, – ADR, – USES
are more or less same.So we will only discuss differentiating points.Or something UNIQUE about that particular drug.You are not required to remember ALL THE DETAILS of ALL THE DRUGS.This list has been added only so that …. Presentation does not look
incomplete !!!! ????

SELECTIVE COX-2 INHIBITORS
• CELECOXIB• ROFECOXIB• VALDECOXIB• ETOROCOXIB• LUMERACOXIB• PARACOXIB– only selective COX-2 inhibitor for
parental use.
BANNED BECAUSE OF CARDIOVASCULAR MORATLITY
76
Advantages• No ADR like
– GI ulceration– Bleeding tendency
Disadvantage– Increases cardio vascular
mortality because of inhibition of endothelial PGI2 production without effect on platelet TXA2 synthesis.
– ??Incomplete suppression of inflammation.
– COX-2 is constitutively expressed in kidney so nephrotoxicity can not be avoided. Na+ and Water retention,edema,HT,CHF may be ppted.
77
• CELECOXIB– GI friendly– Sulfalike reaction– Edema and HT
• ETOROCOXIB– Maximum COX2: COX 1 activity ration– OA – 60 mg OD– RA - 90 mg OD– Acute gouty arthritis 120 mg OD– Acute musculoskeletal pain- 60 mg OD– ADR :
• Dry mouth• Aphthous ulcer• Taste disturbnaces• Paraesthesia
• Lumiracoxib :– Its acidic nature allows it to penetrate well into areas of inflammation– The half-life in synovial fluid is considerably longer than in plasma.– Once-daily dosing.– 900-mg dose.– Cardiovascular safety questionable….– Gi safety promised…
78
TOPICAL NSAIDS• Used for RA,OA,musculoskeletal pain,Soft Tissue Injury etc.• Advantage (???):
– ??? High local levels????? may be better therapeutic efficacy.– Low systemic levels GI safety.
• DILEMMA , whether the effect is ….– Due to drug ?– Due to placebo ?– Due to irritant present in ointments ?– Due to concomitant oral NSAID?
• EVIDENCES AVAILABLE SO FAR ….– Slow topical absorption (~10 times than oral)– Highest blood levels remains 15% below the same dose given orally.– Upto 4-6 mm( Dermis) high concentraion.– At 25 mm (muscle ) concentration is low and same as blood.
