چکیده

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most highly prescribed drugs in the world. Their analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic actions may be beneficial; however, they are associated with severe side effects including gastrointestinal injury and peptic ulceration. Though several approaches for limiting these side effects have been adopted, like the use of COX-2 specific drugs, comedication of acid suppressants like proton pump inhibitors and prostaglandin analogs, these alternatives have limitations in terms of efficacy and side effects. In this paper, the mechanism of action of NSAIDs and their critical gastrointestinal complications have been reviewed. This paper also provides the information on different preventive measures prescribed to minimize such adverse effects and analyses the new suggested strategies for development of novel drugs to maintain the anti-inflammatory functions of NSAIDs along with effective gastrointestinal protection.

Aging and the alimentary tract The aging stomach: implications for NSAID gastropathy

Over 30 million people worldwide use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) daily, and nearly 50% of these NSAID users are elderly. 2 Numerous human studies have shown that the use of NSAIDs is associated with various gastroduodenal mucosal lesions, sometimes collectively referred to as NSAID gastropathy, and that NSAID gastropathy and its life-threatening complications occur primarily ...

Targeting oxidative stress and inflammation in NSAIDs induced gastropathy: A plausible therapeutic approach

Deregulation in prostaglandin (PG) biosynthesis, oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis play a major role in the pathogenesis of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced gastropathology. Although the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in this pathophysiological condition is not fully understood, considerable progress has been made in recent years. Also, substantial progr...

This prospective study aimed to determine the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in relation to the occurrence and severity of NSAIDs induced gastropathy. A total of 111 patients were studied-66 were taking NSAIDs and 45 were control patients. All patients underwent endoscopy during which antral biopsy specimens were taken to determine H pylori status (Gram and Giemsa staining, urease ...

ICAM-1 and P-selectin expression in a model of NSAID-induced gastropathy.

A growing body of experimental evidence suggests that neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN)-endothelial cell interactions play a critical role in the pathophysiology of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced gastropathy. The objective of this study was to directly determine whether the expression of endothelial cell adhesion molecules is enhanced in a model of NSAID-induce...
