Since NSAIDs in- hibit prostaglandin synthesis, they are equally recommended to treat allergic ocular disorders (12, 23). Several ophthalmic formulations of NSAIDs are marketed for topical use to man- age pain and inflammation. Corticosteroids, which exert a profound anti-inflammatory ef- fect, have no direct influence on pain. In con- trast to the corticosteroids, NSAIDs do not cause raised ocular tension, secondary cataract for- mation or reactivation of herpes simplex virus infection upon application to the eye. NSAIDs are especially prescribed to manage pain after refractive laser surgery (2, 3). They are helpful in maintaining mydriasis during cataract sur- gery (19). Chronic oral ingestion of NSAIDs for analge- sic, anti-inflammatory, and antithrombotic in- dications is associated with upper gastrointes- tinal tract lesions ranging from petechiae and superficial erosions to chronic peptic ulcers, oe- sophagitis, and gut ulcers which may perfo- rate or cause gastrointestinal bleeding (9). The NSAIDs have been shown to inhibit the prolif- eration of mucosal cells that normally leads to healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers (13, 14). Although diclofenac does not retard the healing of experimental epithelial erosions (15), noth- ing is known about the effect of NSAIDs on the normal corneal epithelium. Since the ophthalm- ic antibiotics and corticosteroid eye drops have been shown to affect corneal epithelium (18), we investigated the effect of NSAID eye drops on the normal corneal epithelium of rabbits in vivo.

  • What Are the Acute Treatments for Migraine and How Are They Used?
    2. Acute Treatment CQ II-2-1 What are the acute treatments for migraine and how are they used? Recommendation The mainstay of acute treatment for migraine is pharmacotherapy. The drugs used include (1) acetaminophen, (2) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), (3) ergotamines, (4) triptans and (5) antiemetics. Stratified treatment according to the severity of migraine is recommended: use NSAIDs such as aspirin and naproxen for mild to moderate headache, and use triptans for moderate to severe headache, or even mild to moderate headache when NSAIDs were ineffective in the past. It is necessary to give guidance and cautions to patients having acute attacks, and explain the methods of using medications (timing, dose, frequency of use) and medication use during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Grade A Background and Objective The objective of acute treatment is to resolve the migraine attack completely and rapidly and restore the patient’s normal functions. An ideal treatment should have the following characteristics: (1) resolves pain and associated symptoms rapidly; (2) is consistently effective; (3) no recurrence; (4) no need for additional use of medication; (5) no adverse effects; (6) can be administered by the patients themselves; and (7) low cost. Literature was searched to identify acute treatments that satisfy the above conditions. Comments and Evidence The acute treatment drugs for migraine generally include (1) acetaminophens, (2) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), (3) ergotamines, (4) triptans, and (5) antiemetics. For severe migraines including status migrainosus and migraine attacks refractory to treatment, (6) anesthetics, and (7) corticosteroids (dexamethasone) are used (Tables 1 and 2).1)-9) There are two approaches to the selection and sequencing of these medications: “step care” and “stratified care”.

  • The Involvement of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in the Suppression of Colorectal Tumorigenesis by Tolfenamic Acid
    Published OnlineFirst October 8, 2013; DOI: 10.1158/1940-6207.CAPR-13-0220 Cancer Prevention Research Article Research The Involvement of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in the Suppression of Colorectal Tumorigenesis by Tolfenamic Acid Xiaobo Zhang1,2, Seong-Ho Lee3, Kyung-Won Min2, Michael F. McEntee2, Jin Boo Jeong3, Qingwang Li1, and Seung Joon Baek2 Abstract The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug tolfenamic acid has been shown to suppress cancer cell growth and tumorigenesis in different cancer models. However, the underlying mechanism by which tolfenamic acid exerts its antitumorigenic effect remains unclear. Previous data from our group and others indicate that tolfenamic acid alters expression of apoptosis- and cell-cycle arrest–related genes in colorectal cancer cells. þ Here, we show that tolfenamic acid markedly reduced the number of polyps and tumor load in APCmin/ mice, accompanied with cyclin D1 downregulation in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, tolfenamic acid promotes endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, resulting in activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling pathway, of which PERK-mediated phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2a (eIF2a) induces the repression of cyclin D1 translation. Moreover, the PERK-eIF2a-ATF4 branch of the UPR pathway plays a role in tolfenamic acid-induced apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells, as silencing ATF4 attenuates tolfenamic acid-induced apoptosis. Taken together, these results suggest ER stress is involved in tolfenamic acid-induced inhibition of colorectal cancer cell growth, which could contribute to antitumor- igenesis in a mouse model.

Tel: +1 7135005786; Fax: +1 7135005689; Email: [email protected] Abstract Pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH), a severe short-limb dwarfing condition, results from mutations that cause misfolding of the cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP). Accumulated COMP in growth plate chondrocytes activates endoplasmic reticulum stress, leading to inflammation and chondrocyte death. Using a MT-COMP mouse model of PSACH that recapitulates the molecular and clinical PSACH phenotype, we previously reported that oxidative stress and inflammation play important and at HAM-TMC Library on October 13, 2015 unappreciated roles in PSACH pathology. In this study, we assessed the ability of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents to affect skeletal and cellular pathology in our mouse model of PSACH. Treatment of MT-COMP mice with aspirin or resveratrol from birth to P28 decreased mutant COMP intracellular retention and chondrocyte cell death, and restored chondrocyte proliferation. Inflammatory markers associated with cartilage degradation and eosinophils were present in the joints of untreated juvenile MT-COMP mice, but were undetectable in treated mice. Most importantly, these treatments resulted in significantly increased femur length.

Since binding of a drug molecule to human serum albumin (HSA) significantly affects the pharmacokinetics of the drug, it is highly desirable to predict the binding affinity of the drug. Profen drugs are a widely used class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and it has been reported that several members of the profen class specifically bind to one of the main binding sites named site II. The actual binding mode of only ibuprofen has been directly confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Therefore, it is of interest whether other profen drugs are site II binders. Docking simulations using multiple template structures of HSA from three crystal structures of complexes between drugs and HSA have demonstrated that most of the currently available profen drugs should be site II binders. 1. Introduction center. Based on the reliable crystal structures, structure- based approaches are possible.
