- W2149651502 abstract "Epidemiological studies indicate that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are neuroprotective, although the mechanisms underlying their beneficial effect remain largely unknown. Given their well-known adverse effects, which of the NSAIDs is the best for neurodegenerative disease management remains a matter of debate. Paracetamol is a widely used analgesic/antipyretic drug with low peripheral adverse effects, possibly related to its weak activity as inhibitor of peripheral cyclooxygenase (COX), the main target of NSAIDs. As microglia play an important role in CNS inflammation and pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, we investigate the effect of paracetamol on rat microglial cultures. Although less potent than other NSAIDs, (indomethacin approximately NS-398 > flurbiprofen approximately piroxicam > paracetamol approximately acetylsalicylic acid), paracetamol completely inhibited the synthesis of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated microglia, when used at concentrations comparable to therapeutic doses. The drug did not affect the expression of the enzymes involved in PGE(2) synthesis, i.e., COX-1, COX-2, and microsomal PGE synthase, or the release of the precursor arachidonic acid (AA). Paracetamol inhibited the conversion of exogenous AA, but not PGH(2), into PGE(2) indicating that the target of the drug is COX activity. Consistently, paracetamol inhibited with similar IC(50) the synthesis of PGF(2alpha) and thromboxane B(2), two other COX metabolites. Finally, none of the NSAIDs affected the productions of nitric oxide and tumor necrosis factor(alpha), two inflammatory mediators released by activated microglia. As paracetamol was reported to inhibit PG synthesis in peripheral macrophages with an IC(50) at least three orders of magnitude higher than in microglia, we suggest that this drug represents a good tool for treating brain inflammation without compromising peripheral PG synthesis." @default.
