THE INFLAMMATORY
    RESPONSE

1. The inflammatory response is a normal
(desirable) defense mechanism.
2. The side effects are undesirable.
3. Normal inflammatory response has an on/
off switch.
4. In chronic inflammation something has
gone wrong with the OFF switch
5. Therefore we need drugs to control the
inflammatory reaction.
Mediators of the
    inflammatory response

Complement system
histamine
serotonin
bradykinin - major contributors to symptoms of inflammation
leukotrienes - increase vascular permeability
            - increase mobilization of endogenous mediators of inflammation
prostaglandins PGE2 ‑ promote edema and leukocyte infiltration
                PGI2 ‑ increase vascular permeability, enhance pain producing
                         properties of bradykinin
INFLAMMATORY SITE


Sensitized lymphocytes release soluble factors ( which
  recruit & mobilize macrophages to the inflammed tissue.)

Additional activated macrophages produce enhanced levels of
  enzymes and mediators

Thereby involving macrophages in the defense against
  microorganisms and foreign antigens

BUT remember that the inflammatory cells have the
  potential to destroy surrounding tissue.
Mediators of
inflammation
4 signs of inflammation

Redness - due to local vessel dilatation
Heat - due to local vessel dilatation
Swelling – due to influx of plasma
proteins and phagocytic cells into the
tissue spaces
Pain – due to local release of enzymes
and increased tissue pressure
Major pathways
Eicosanoids
Eicosanoids – a family of compounds that are
  the products of three main pathways which
  use oxygen as a major cosubstrate.
The three pathways are:
  the cyclooxygenase pathway
  the lipoxygenase pathway
  the epoxygenase pathway.
COX 1 and COX 2
The key enzyme in the
cyclooxygenase pathway is the
enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX).

There are two forms of cyclooxygenase,
COX1 (the predominant form) and
COX2.
ANTI‑ INFLAMMATORY
         DRUGS

 salicylates e.g., ASA
phenylpropionic acids e.g., ibuprofen,
ketoprofen
pyrazalone derivatives e.g., phenylbutazone
indole derivatives e.g., indomethacin
Remission inducing / disease modifying
drugs: e.g. chloroquine, aurothioglucose,
penicillamine, prednisolone
Prostaglandin inhibitory
activity correlates to anti-
   inflammatory effect
MECHANISM OF ACTION

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
  All NSAIDs inhibit the cyclooxygenase required for
  conversion of arachidonic acid to endoperoxide
  intermediate (PGG2 and PGH2).
  NSAIDs inhibit prostaglandin and thromboxane synthesis,
  they are potent inhibitors of cyclooxygenase and eliminate
  all prostaglandins and thromboxanes in every cell they
  reach
  Recall that prostaglandins and thromboxanes play crucial
  roles in: Pain, Inflammation, Fever , Excessive blood
  clotting

Nsaial
Due to the adverse effects of Aspirin (esp. GI and
antiplatelet), many newer NSAIDS have been developed.

Ibuprofen: PROPIONIC ACID DERIVATIVE
-same potency as ASA .
-better tolerated (fewer side effects)
 -ex. Advil; Motrin
Available over the counter (OTC)

Indomethacin: INDOLE DERIVATIVE
-more potent than ASA but inferior at doses tolerated by
rheumatoid arthritis patients.
-quite toxic
-PDA
Phenylbutazone:
PYRAZOLONE DERIVATIVE
-powerful anti-inflammatory drug
-usefulness is limited by its toxicity
-chiefly short-term therapy

Piroxicam:
-half-life = 45 hours
-administer once a day ( increased convenience)
-some GI disturbance
Sulindac:
-inactive pro-drug closely related to indomethacin
-must be metabolized by hepatic microsomal enzymes to
active form
-long duration of action (half-life = 8h)
-adverse effects less severe than other NSAIDS (ex. GI
and renal)
-ex. Clinoril

Ketoprofen:
-inhibits both cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase
(decreases PGs, TXs, and LTs)
*recall LTs: bronchospam;bronchoconstriction
-may be desirable for asthmatics or inflammation plus
allergic response
-ex.Orudis
Nsaial
COX-2 INHIBITORS

Cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1):
-constitutively expressed in wide variety of cells
all over the body.
-"housekeeping enzyme"
-ex. gastric cytoprotection, hemostasis

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2):
-inducible enzyme
-immediate-early gene product in inflammatory
and immune cells
-dramatically up-regulated during inflammation
(10-18X)
Adverse effects of NSAIDS are theorized to be due to
inhibition of COX-1 (ex. GI complications via decreased
PGE2 and potentially altered blood flow)

In some instances cytoprotectives e.g., misoprostol (PGE2
analogue) may be taken with NSAIDS to reduce GI effects.


Selective COX-2 inhibitors were developed
e.g., Celecoxib (Celebrex); Roficoxib (Vioxx) which was
withdrawn in 2004 due to serious CV effects and in Sept.
2007 Merck agreed to pay 4.8 billion dollars settlement.
Nitric Oxide-Releasing NSAIDS      NO-NSAIDS

Less GI effects than parent NSAID from which
they are derived.

Comparable anti-inflammatory effect and superior
analgesic effect

Example: NO-naproxen
      Parent NSAID: naproxen

Possible mechanism: nitric oxide would improve
gastric blood flow
Nsaial
DIETARY MANIPULATION OF
           INFLAMMATION
Arachidonic Acid (AA) -eicosatetraenoic acid (4 double bonds)

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) -5 double bonds
EPA
EPA is found in fish oil

It acts as a substrate for cyclooxygenases and
lipoxygenases (thus it competes with arachidonic acid
for the enzymes)

The prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes
produced from EPA are less active than AA
metabolites.
EPA      continued

These products can then compete with products of AA
metabolism for shared target receptors.

Macrophages with a high content of EPA produce less
TNF and IL-l (key pro-inflammatory cytokines)

Thus,
• Dietary EPA supplementation can reduce tissue
injury due to PGs, TXs, LTs, and cytokines!!
EPA       continued

Clinical studies have shown decreased morning stiffness
and joint pain in rheumatoid arthritis patients with EPA
supplementation

Potency approximates NSAIDS, with negligible side
effects!!
Inflammatory events in
     the gouty joint
GOUTY ARTHRITIS:
    inflammatory mechanism
Body fluids supersaturate with urate and urate
  crystals precipitate in tissues.
  Resulting in pain and inflammation
Phagocytosis of crystals by polymorphs and the
migration of leukocytes to the inflamed area
  Release inflammatory mediators into joint
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS
  AND GOUTY ARTHRITIS
Colchicine
indomethacin
adrenal steroids
new NSAIDS e.g. sulindac (acute gout)
probenecid, sulfinpyrazone
allopurinol
Nsaial
Mechanism of action of
      Allopurinol
  Allopurinol inhibits synthesis of uric acid by
  competing for the enzyme xanthine oxidase.

Hypoxanthine   xanthine oxidase   xanthine   xanthine oxidase Uric
                                                              acid


Allopurinol xanthine oxidase Alloxanthine
Glucocorticoids

- inhibit phagocytosis
- inhibit synthesis of IL‑1, TNF, PGs LTs.
- inhibit antigen processing by
macrophages
- stabilizes lysosomal membranes
- inhibits accumulation of neutrophils and
  monocytes at inflammation site.
- inhibit phospholipase A2.
Glucocorticoids

  examples: prednisone
              dexamethasone
Side effects:
  osteoporosis
  impaired wound healing
  edema, hypertension, congestive heart failure
CNS effects (euphoria ‑ psychosis)
Cushingoid Syndrome
