Transcytotic activity entails transport of fluid or macromolecules from the blood into the interstitium and vice versa. Any solutes trapped in the fluid, including drugs, may traverse the blood-tissue barrier. In this form of transport, the physicochemical properties of drugs are of little importance.
Outlook: Cyclooxygenase (COX) has two isozymes: COX-1, a constitutive form present in stomach and kidney; and COX-2, which is induced in inflammatory cells in response to appropriate stimuli. Presently available NSAIDs inhibit both isozymes. The search for COX-2-selective agents (Celecoxib, Rofecoxib) is intensifying because, in theory, these ought to be tolerated better.

 

Merck’s Japanese subsidiary launched Lipola M (simvastatin ODT), a line extension of its block-buster, Zocor®, a cholesterol-lowering drug, in response to seventeen generic registrations of simvastatin applied for in Japan in 200424.

The body responds by restricting heat loss (cutaneous vasoconstriction > chills) and by elevating heat production (shivering), in order to adjust to the new set point (fever). Antipyretics such as acetaminophen and ASA (p. 198) return the set point to its normal level (B2) and thus bring about a defervescence. Local anesthetics reversibly inhibit impulse generation and propagation in nerves.
