Cytochrome P450 2C9 is a mixed-function oxidase localized in the endoplasmic reticulum which is responsible for the biotransformation of several nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory diugs, S-warfarin, several sulfonylurea antidiabetics and other diugs. 

The next three chapters deal with dragp used in the management of pain the nonnarcotic analgesics (salicylates, nonsalicylates [acetaminophen], and the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory dragp) and the narcotic analgesics.

The salicylates and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) are important in the treatment of arthritic conditions. For example, the salicylates and NSAIDs are used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (a chronic disease characterized by inflammatory changes within the body s connective tissue) and osteoarthritis (a noninflammatory joint disease resulting in degeneration of the articular cartilage and... 

Bismudi subsalicylate is used in combination witii otiier dru > to treat gastric and duodenal ulcers caused by H. pylori bacteria Mesalamine is used in the treatment of chronic inflammatoiy bowel disease Misoprostol is used to prevent gastric ulcers in those taking aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory dragp in high doses for a prolonged time Olsalazine is used in the treatment of ulcerative colitis in those allergic to sulfasalazine. Sulfasalazine is used in the treatment of Crohn s disease and ulcerative colitis. Sucralfate is used in the treatment of duodenal ulcer.

New Chapters—new chapters are included, such as Chapter 33, Cholinesterase Inhibitors, and Chapter 18, Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Dragp. Several of the chapters in previous editions have been divided. For example, the chapter on antiviral and antifungal drugs was divided into two chapters Chapter 14, Antiviral Drags, and Chapter 15, Antifungal Drugs. 

Like aspirin, ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It is a cyclooxygenase inhibitor that interferes with COX-1 and COX-2 forms of that enzyme. Its effects on COX-2 give it fever-reducing (antipyretic), analgesic (pain relief), and anti-inflammatory functions.

Orthoformates have been used in the lipase-catalyzed esterification aimed at the kinetic resolution of racemic acids such as flurbiprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (Figure 6.18). Orthoformates trap the water as it is formed through hydrolysis, and therefore prevent the reverse reaction, and, at the same time, provide the alcohol for the esteriflcation [65]. 

We do not discontinue use of any of the patient s medications including anticoagulants, aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Systemic isotretinoin (Acutane) is considered to be a contraindication to any external treatment of the skin. We feel that the minimal...
