Mechanism of COX-1 Inhibition and Gastric Ulcers

  • Protective Role of COX-1: Cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) produces prostaglandins that stimulate the secretion of bicarbonate and protective mucus in the stomach lining, maintaining the gastric mucosal barrier.
  • NSAID Interference: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) block the COX-1 enzyme, significantly reducing the production of these protective prostaglandins.
  • Breakdown of the Mucosal Barrier: Without adequate prostaglandin protection, the stomach lining becomes highly vulnerable to damage from its own hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes.
  • Ulcer Formation: The resulting irritation, inflammation, and cellular destruction eventually lead to the development of gastric ulcers, bleeding, and erosions in the gastrointestinal tract.
