Term
ASA is absorbed ___ from the ___
Definition
Rapidly
Upper small intestine (and stomach)
Term
Rate/extent of ASA absorption determined by... (3)
Definition
Disintegration/dissolution rate of tablets
Mucosal pH (acid = better absorption)
Gastric emptying time
Term
ASA is rapidly hydrolyzed by tissue and blood esterases to ___ and ___
Definition
Acetate
Salicylate
Term
Peak salicylate concentrations occur...
Definition
Within 1-2 hours
Term
Free salicylate is distributed throughout ___ and is available for ___ or ___. Most salicylate is ___.
Definition
Most body tissues
Hepatic metabolism or renal excretion
Most is bound to plasma proteins
Term
In the liver, salicylate is either ___, ___, or ___
Definition
+glycine = salicyluric acid
+glucuronic acid = ester/ether glucuronides
Metabolized to gentisic acid
Term
t1/2 for salicylate is ___ because ___
Definition
Dose dependent
Limited ability of the liver to +glucuronic acid
Term
Renal excretion of free salicylate is ___ and ___
Definition
Highly variable
pH dependent
Term
Propionic acid derivatives suffix
Definition
-profen
Term
Propionic acid derivatives: pharmacokinetics (5)
Definition
Rapidly absorbed
Highly bound to plasma protein
May have higher concentration in synovial fluid
Extensively metabolized in liver
Most excreted as water soluble metabolite or conjugate
Term
PG or PG intermediates ___ pain receptors
Definition
Sensitize
Term
Salicylates, propionic acid derivatives: analgesic and anti-inflammatory MOA
Definition
Inhibit COX 1 and 2 = decrease PG synthesis at central and peripheral sites
Inhibit PMNL/macro migration to inflamm
Stabilize lysosomal membranes = decreased release of inflamm mediators
Inhibit Ag-Ab aggregation
Term
COX1: what you need to know (2)
Definition
Constitutive
Expressed in most tissues including renal blood flow and gastric protection
Term
COX2: what you need to know
Definition
Inducible
Activated by mediators released in response to tissue damage
Term
Salicylates, propionic acid derivatives: antipyretic MOA
Definition
Inhibit PG synthesis in the hypothalamus (caused by bacterial pyrogens stimulating production of IL1, which stimulates PG synthesis, which interferes with hypothal temperature control)

Only works on elevated body temp
Term
Salicylates: platelet, urate MOA
Definition
ASA (prior to deacetylation in portal system) acetylates COX in plt = can't make new COX and/or TXA2
High doses decrease tubular reabsorption of urate
Term
ASA: S/E (6)
Definition
Gastric irritation
Prolonged bleeding time
Renal disease or dehydration: reversible decrease in RBF and GFR, maybe edema and interstitial nephritis
Kids with viruses: Reye's syndrome = damage to mito membranes causing hepatic injury and encephalopathy
Hypersensitivity: asthma, rash, angiodema, anaphylactoid
-+nasyl polyps: bronchospasm and hypotension
Term
Propionic acid derivatives: S/E (3)
Definition
Renal disease or dehydration: reversible decrease in RBF and GFR, maybe edema and interstitial nephritis
Hypersensitivity
1st tri: heart defects and other congenital anomalies
Term
Salicylism/mild aspirin toxicity (5)
Definition
Tinnitus
Headache
Dizziness
Mental confusion
n/v

Dose dependent, resolve with reducing dosage
Term
Severe aspirin toxicity: MOA, S/E (2), tx (2)
Definition
Uncouples ox. metab in skeletal muscle = increased CO2
Directly stimuates medullary respiratory center

Acid-base issues
-Respiratory alkalosis
-Increased bicarb excretion
Convulsions, coma, death (resp. failure)

Correct acid-base issues
Alkalinize urine to increase excretion of free salicylate
Term
ASA: drug interactions (4)
Definition
Inhibition of tubular secretion of uric acid = blocks uricosuric effect of probenecid
+EtOH: GI bleed (propionic acid derivatives, too)
Displacement of other drugs from plasma proteins
-Oral anticoags = increased anticoag action
-Phenytoin

Ibuprofen: interfere with ASA anti-plt
Term
Acetaminophen: pharmacokinetics (5)
Definition
Rapid/complete absorption
Peak concentration 30-60 min
Uniformly distributed (20-50% bound to plasma proteins)
Most hepatically +glucuronic/sulfuric acid = almost none of it is excreted unchanged
Only a bit is metabolized by CYP450 to NABQ then +glutathione
Term
Acetaminophen: effects (2)
Definition
Analgesia
Antipyresis

No anti-inflamm!
Term
Acetaminophen: S/E
Definition
Rash, other allergic reactions

But usually well-tolerated
Term
Acetaminophen toxicity: MOA
Definition
Dose-dependent hepatic overload = liver can't conjugate everything = more of it's available for CYP450 conversion to NABQ
NABQ usually +glutathione, but there's excess NABQ
The leftover NABQ reacts with sulfhydryl groups in hepatic proteins = hepatic necrosis
Term
Acetaminophen toxicicty: S/E, problem with EtOH (2)
Definition
Signs of liver damage within 2-4 days: n/v, ab pain

Chronic EtOH
-Increases CYP450 metabolism to NABQ = lower threshold for acetaminophen-induced damage
-Depletes hepatic glutathione = increases severity of injury
Term
Acetaminophen toxicity: tx
Definition
Induce vomiting/pump stomach followed by charcoal
Hemodialysis
Administer sylfhydryl compounds (N-acetyl cysteine) = increase hepatic glutathione
Term
Acetaminophen + aspirin
Definition
Renal tubular necrosis
-Acetaminophen metabolite concentrates in renal papillae
-Induces depletion of reduced glutathione = necrosis
-Potentiated by aspirin's renal effects
Term
Ketorolac: pharmacokinetics (5)
Definition
Rapidly absorbed (oral, IM, IV, intraocular)
Peak within 30-60 min
Mostly bound to plasma protein
Metabolized in liver +glucuronic acid
Most excreted unchanged
Term
Ketorolac: MOA, effects (3)
Definition
Inhibition of COX 1 and 2

Analgesia: but potency of this effect outweighs use as anti-inflamm or antipyretic

No tolerance/dependence
Anti-inflammatory
Antipyresis
Term
Ketorolac: indication
Definition
Multimodal acute pain (short-term = <5 days)
Term
Ketorolac: S/E (6)
Definition
GI discomfort
Dizziness
Headache
Increased bleeding time (plt inhibition)
Asthma, nasyl polyps, aspirin sensitivity: bronchospasm
Administration >5 days: gastric ulcers, renal impairment

Don't use in patients with renal dysfunction
