OBJECTIVESGENERAL• To determine the relationship between increasing doses
of drugs (paracetamol, ibuprofen, aspirin, and morphine) to the response to pain in mice.
• To compare the analgesic properties of paracetamol, ibuprofen, aspirin, and morphine.

OBJECTIVES
SPECIFIC• To determine the percent (%) difference of inhibition of
pain before and after administration with paracetamol, ibuprofen, aspirin, and morphine on acclimatized mice.
• To present the graded dose response curves of paracetamol, ibuprofen, aspirin, and morphine.
• To compare the relative potency and maximal efficacy of paracetamol, ibuprofen, aspirin, and morphine.

Note the weight of each mouse
Animals were fasted overnight
Acclimatize all mice
Place the mouse on top of hot plate (48°C) and determine the time the mouse licked its paws.
Administer the drug via oral gavage according to its computed dose
AFTER 1 HOUR place each mouse on hot plate and note the time it licked its paws

RATIONALE
• Fasting was done to avoid food-drug interaction.• Male mice were used for this experiment to ensure that none of the mice are
pregnant, which may alter results.• Variability was limited by controlling for age, sex, and weight of the mice.• 0.9% Normal Saline Solution as a diluent, served as a vehicle for the drug
for faster absorption.• Gavage tubes were used to avoid spillage of the drug.• Response to pain was measured 1 hour after administration for optimal
absorption of the drug.• Geometric dosing was used to maximize cost-effectiveness.

HYPOTHESIS
As the dose of increases, the analgesic effect of the drug also increases.

MECHANISM OF ACTION OF DRUGS
Non-opioid analgesics:• Paracetamol• Ibuprofen• Aspirin
Opioid analgesics:• Morphine
![Page 24: Experiment 1 – Graded Dose-Response Curve](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568163c3550346895dd4eb3e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Non-opioid analgesics
![Page 25: Experiment 1 – Graded Dose-Response Curve](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568163c3550346895dd4eb3e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Non-opioid analgesics
• COX 1 or prostaglandin synthase 1 – constitutive enzyme found in gastric mucosa, platelets, vascular endothelium and kidneys
• COX 2 or prostaglandin synthase 2 – inducible enzyme generated in response to inflammation; expressed mainly in activated macrophages and monocytes
![Page 26: Experiment 1 – Graded Dose-Response Curve](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568163c3550346895dd4eb3e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Non-opioid analgesics
• inhibition of COX-1: responsible for unwanted effects on platelet aggregation and the gastrointestinal tract
• inhibition of COX-2: analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory activity of NSAIDs
• PGE2 – sensitizes nerve endings to the action of bradykinins, histamine and other chemical mediators released during inflammation
![Page 27: Experiment 1 – Graded Dose-Response Curve](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568163c3550346895dd4eb3e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Paracetamol
• Also known as acetaminophen• Weak cox-1 and cox-2 inhibitor in peripheral
tissues but no significant anti-inflammatory effect
• reduces the production of prostaglandins (pro-inflammatory chemicals)
![Page 28: Experiment 1 – Graded Dose-Response Curve](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568163c3550346895dd4eb3e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Paracetamol
• Bioavailability: almost 100% • Metabolism: 90 to 95% Hepatic • Half life: 1–4 h • Excretion: Renal
![Page 29: Experiment 1 – Graded Dose-Response Curve](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568163c3550346895dd4eb3e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Ibuprofen
• non-selective COX inhibitor—that is, it inhibits two isoforms of cyclooxygenase, COX-1 and COX-2
• Bioavailability: 49–73% • Protein binding: 99% • Metabolism: Hepatic (CYP2C9) • Half life: 1.8–2 hours • Excretion: Renal
![Page 30: Experiment 1 – Graded Dose-Response Curve](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568163c3550346895dd4eb3e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Aspirin
• Nonselective inhibitor of both COX isoforms• Irreversibly blocks the synthesis of
Thromboxane A2• Inhibits platelet aggregation• Inhibits pain stimuli at the subcortical site
(thalamus and hypothalamus)• Half-life: 0.25 hours
![Page 31: Experiment 1 – Graded Dose-Response Curve](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568163c3550346895dd4eb3e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Morphine
• Binds to opioid receptors (GPCR) located primarily in brain and spinal cord regions causing:
1. Decreased calcium influx in presynaptic nerve decreased transmitter release
2. Increased potassium conductance inhibitory postsynaptic potential
• Extensive first-pass metabolism• Half life: 2 hrs
![Page 32: Experiment 1 – Graded Dose-Response Curve](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568163c3550346895dd4eb3e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Sources of Error
• Oral administrations of drugs done by different members of the group– Dose of drug was not fully administered due to
spillage– Different rates of administration– Aspiration from administering drug too fast
• Unequal number of mice per administered dose• Discrepancies in experimenter and actual endpoint
![Page 33: Experiment 1 – Graded Dose-Response Curve](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568163c3550346895dd4eb3e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Recommendations
• Ensure equal numbers of mice by the time of data gathering
• Include other erratic behaviors as response• Use other drugs with different route of
administration (e.g. intraperitoneal)• Only 1 experimenter per task to reduce
experimenter variability
![Page 34: Experiment 1 – Graded Dose-Response Curve](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568163c3550346895dd4eb3e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Conclusion• Increasing the doses of ibuprofen and
morphine decreases their analgesic effect• Increasing the dose of paracetamol prolongs
the response of mice to pain• Of the four given analgesics, ibuprofen was
found to be the most effective at a dose of 0.26 mg
• All drugs are effective at each dose• Not able to detect potency
