Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 In pharmacology , the term mechanism of action MOA refers to the specific biochemical interaction through which a Medication drug substance produces its pharmacological effect. A mechanism of action usually includes mention of the specific molecular targets to which the drug binds, such as an enzyme or receptor biochemistry receptor . For example, the mechanism of action of aspirin involves irreversible inhibition of the enzyme cyclooxygenase , which suppresses the production of prostaglandin s and thromboxane s, thereby reducing pain and inflammation.

Prostanoid is the term used to describe a subclass of eicosanoid s consisting of the prostaglandin s mediators of Inflammation inflammatory and Anaphylaxis anaphylactic reactions , the thromboxane s mediators of Vasoconstrictor vasoconstriction and the prostacyclin s active in the resolution phase of inflammation. See also main articles at Prostaglandin , Prostacyclin and Thromboxane Biosynthesis Prostanoid biosynthesis redirects here Prostanoid biosynthesis float right Cyclooxygenase COX catalyzes the conversion of the free essential fatty acids to prostanoids by a two step process. In the first step, two molecules of O sub 2 sub are added as two peroxide linkages and a 5 member carbon ring is forged near the middle of the fatty acid chain. This forms the short lived, unstable intermediate Prostaglandin G PGG . One of the peroxide linkages sheds a single oxygen, forming PGH. See diagrams and more detail at Cyclooxygenase . All other prostanoids originate from PGH as PGH sub 1 sub , PGH sub 2 sub , or PGH sub 3 sub . Figure 1 shows how PGH sub 2 sub derived from Arachidonic acid is converted By PGE synthetase into PGE which in turn is converted into PGF By PGD synthetase into PGD By Prostacyclin synthase into prostacyclin PGI2 By Thromboxane synthase into thromboxane s The three classes of prostanoids have distinctive rings in the center of the molecule. They differ in their structures. The PGH compounds parents to all the rest have a 5 carbon ring, bridged by two oxygens a peroxide . The derived prostaglandins contain a single, unsaturated 5 carbon ring. In prostacyclins, this ring is conjoined to another oxygen containing ring. In thromboxanes the ring becomes a 6 member ring with one oxygen. Production of PGE sub 2 sub in bacterial and viral infections appear to be stimulated by certain cytokines, e.g., interleukin 1 . ref name University cite web author University of Kansas Medical Center year 2004 title Eicosanoids and Inflammation url http classes.kumc.edu som ... more details

A Prostaglandin antagonist is a hormone antagonist acting upon prostaglandin . NSAID s inhibit cyclooxygenase and reduce prostaglandin synthesis. Corticosteroid s inhibit phospholipase A sub 2 sub production by boosting production of lipocortin , an inhibitor protein. Relatively new drugs, known as COX 2 selective inhibitor s or coxibs, are used as specific inhibitors of COX 2. The development of these drugs allowed the circumvention of the negative gastrointestinal effects while effectively reducing inflammation. Adverse effects Both NSAIDs and Coxibs can raise the risk of myocardial infarction , when taken on a chronic basis for at least 18 months. One emerging hypothesis that may explain the cardiovascular effects is that coxibs create an imbalance in circulating TxA2 thromboxane and PGI2 prostacyclin levels. An increased in the ratio of TxA2 PGI2 could lead to increased platelet aggregation and dysregulation of platelet homeostasis. ref Cheng Y et al., Role of prostacyclin in the cardiovascular response to thromboxane A2.

Apitoxin , or honey bee venom , is a bitter colorless liquid. The active portion of the venom is a complex mixture of protein s, which causes local inflammation and acts as an anticoagulant . The venom is produced in the abdomen of worker bee s from a mixture of acidic and basic secretions. Apitoxin is acidic pH 4.5 to 5.5 . A honeybee can inject 0.1 mg of venom via its stinger. Apitoxin is similar to nettle toxin . It is estimated that 1 of the population is allergic to bee stings. Apitoxin can be deactivated with ethanol . Bee venom therapy is used by some as a treatment for rheumatism and joint diseases due to its anticoagulant and anti inflammatory properties. It is also used to desensitize people allergic to insect stings.
