Analgesics, Antipyretic and
Anti-Inflammatory Agents

3.1 INTRODUCTION

The therapeutic molecules have been broadly classified by traditional medical observers based on their effect on human physiology. It is basically in terms of lowering in temperature, inhibition of pain and arrest of inflammation, if any, in the body. Analogous therapeutic molecules are classified as analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory, respectively.
Antipyretics refer to varying types of medication that may be primarily used to reduce fever (rise in temperature—an external symptom of internal disorder) of patient with overly high body temperatures, usually as due to viral or bacterial infection. People may have familiarity with many of these drugs. Widely available over the counter types of drugs include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen, aspirin and Paracetamol/Acetaminophen. All of these medications can be used to lower fevers or reduce the temperature of the body and there are other medications that might be tried if these do not work.
One of the distinctive parts of the definition of antipyretics is that they are the medications that lower body temperature only when fever is present. This is why, the over the counter drugs listed above are applicable for other things like treatment of inflammation, pain, or in the case of salicylates, daily treatment for stroke prevention. Fever reducers could not be particularly effective for other treatments, if they always lowered body temperature. Their use might mean dropping the temperature of the body below safe levels. The reason that these medications typically only work on temperature when required, has to do with the way the body responds to infection. When infection of any type occurs, the body may begin reducing a substance called interleukin, which sends a message to the hypothalamus to increase the temperature. Antipyretics essentially override this message and the hypothalamus responds by lowering the temperature to normal.
In metaphor, it is as though interleukin and antipyretic are two roommates who can’t agree about the temperature of the house since infection came for a visit. Interleukin is constantly trying to turn up the thermostat. Antipyretic keeps turning it back down. Note this battle can continue for a while, until infection leaves.
58 Pharmaceutical Chemistry
It’s often necessary for people to continue to take antipyretics for a few days or more to keep a fever from coming back. Other medications like antibiotics might be useful in bacterial infections too, as these may help reduce infection and reduce release of interleukin. On the other hand, some viral infections quickly leave and people might only need a single dose of antipyretics to regulate the temperature.
There are many potent antipyretics, available over the counter with chemists. They have been made available in forms like pill, chewable tablets, quick dissolve strips or in liquid. Many people may take suppository types of medications and this is particularly helpful when controlling fever of someone who is vomiting.
There are some general things to remember about the common antipyretics. Aspirin should never be allowed for children unless it is particularly prescribed. Acetaminophen/ Paracetamol is usually contraindicated in patients with liver disease. Ibuprofen or other NSAIDs need to be avoided by people with NSAID allergy or who are on any blood thinner therapy. Excess of antipyretics are not advisable and overdose can be fatal.
Usage of antipyretics is of particular interest along with fever reducers. It is a typical situation for doctors especially when treating infants and young children who are suffering with high fevers. A balanced approach must be practised while evaluating the benefits of the fever fighting infection and the risks and comfort level of the person under treatment.
The most commonly used drugs, as antipyretics, are Acetanilide, Phenacetin (Acetophentidin), and Paracetamol (Acetaminophen). Interestingly, the aforesaid three drug entities are interrelated to one another at the level of metabolism:

Phenacetin was dropped as a drug in 1982 in the US by virtue of the fact that it earned a bad reputation for causing nephrotoxicity due to its chronic high dose abuse in several parts of the world. It was also reported to cause cancer in the kidney and liver. Paracetamol is still a preferred drug candidate which belongs to aniline-based analgesic-antipyretic family for its abundant utility in controlling fever in most non-inflammatory conditions which is very similar to aspirin.

3.2 CLASSIFICATION

Antipyretic analgesics may be classified on the basis of their chemical structures as follows:
1. Aniline and p-Aminophenol analogues: The antipyretic activities of this family were first reported by Cohn & Hepp in 1886. These drugs are also called coal tar analgesics. Aminophenols are less toxic than the aniline while p-Aminophenols are less toxic than other isomers, thus p-Aminophenols were used preferably as a drug choice. Examples of a few salicyclic acid aniline and p-aminophenol analogues are as follows:

2. Salicyclic acid analogues: Salicyclic acid was first prepared by Paira in 1838; however, the structure was reported by Hoffmann in 1899 who studied a detailed pharmacodynamic property. Later on, Dresser introduced it as aspirin. The name aspirin was derived from ‘a’ for acetyl and spirin which comes from spiric acid (old name of salicyclic acid obtained from Spirea plants).

3. Quinoline analogues: Since long, Quinoline analogues have been used as a potent antipyretic agent along with its remarkable effects on malarial fever. Nevertheless possessing significant antipyretic action, firstly synthesized two Quinoline derivatives could not gain attention as an effective drug due to their high toxic effects on the red blood corpuscles and damaging effect on the kidneys. These were

3.3 MECHANISM OF ACTION

The antipyretic activity is generally caused due to the direct interference with the pyrogenic factors responsible for fever where the body temperature is more than 98.4°F. It has been established that the antipyretics exert their activities very much within the central nervous system (CNS) which is directly related to hypothalamic thermoregulatory centre. It can be explained by the following conclusions:
(a) Endogenous leukocytic pyrogenes: They are released from the cells that have been
activated by host stimuli and these activated cells are inhibited by antipyretics with the help of exogenous pyrogens as activator.
(b) Inhibition of the release of endogenous leukocytic pyrogenes from the cells activated
by the exogenous pyrogens.
Analgesics, Antipyretic and Anti-Inflammatory Agents 61
In 1979, Clark reported some evidences to prove central antipyretic mechanism which
specifically affords antagonism due to the following reasons: (a) A direct competitive affinity between pyrogen and the antipyretic drug prevailing
at the CNS receptors.
(b) An inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis occurring in CNS.

3.4 ANALGESIC AGENTS

The terms analgesics and analgesic drugs are often used interchangeably to describe a diverse group of pain medications such as opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and triptans. Each of these produces analgesic effect with different mechanisms of action for a wide array of causes. It can be broadly categorized, according to their therapeutic use, into several drug classes:
 The opioids or narcotic analgesics play a major role in the relief of acute pain and in
the management of moderate to severe chronic pain.
 The NSAIDs and acetaminophen are the most widely used analgesic drugs for
relieving mild to moderate pain and reducing fever.
 The triptans (the antimigraine medications) are specifically designed and targeted
for acute and abortive treatment of migraine and cluster headaches.
 Newly emerged class of analgesics such as tricyclic antidepressants (viz.,
Amitriptyline), anticonvulsants (viz., Gabapentin and Pregabalin), and topical analgesics (viz., Lidocaine patches) can be used to treat neuropathic pains.
Pain, one of the most common complaints for which patients seek medical attention, is also the hardest symptom to manage despite the availability of many analgesic medications as well as other nonpharmacologic treatment options. To understand how and when this broad class of drugs is and should be used in the management of pain requires a brief review of pain. Pain has been categorized as the following types: Inflammatory (viz., infection and tissue injuries), physiological (viz., touching hot water) and neuropathic (viz., injury in peripheral or central nervous system). Within these classes of pain there are different levels of pain such as acute, chronic, arthritic, cancer, neuropathic, etc.
The World Health Organization (WHO) brought together an international, as well as multidisciplinary group of experts to discuss and formulate a series of WHO guidelines, including the “three-step analgesic ladder” on pain management in Access to Controlled Medications Programme. Thus, according to this analgesic ladder model (Fig. 3.1), the choice of analgesic therapy is based on the assessment of pain intensity that was adopted. This guideline has now been adapted for treating other noncancer pains.
For moderate pain, a combination of an NSAID (or acetaminophen) and a weak opioid such as codeine may generally be prescribed. Morphine, fentanyl, and other potent opioids are reserved only for severe pain, especially in patients who are terminally ill, to control pain and to improve their quality of life.
