Effects of 15(R)-15-methyl prostaglandin E2 (arbaprostil) on gastric secretion and various gastric lesions induced in rats

We studied the effects of 15(R)-15-methyl prostaglandin E2 (arbaprostil) on gastric secretion and various acute and chronic gastric lesions produced in rats. Arbaprostil significantly inhibited gastric secretion in 4 hr-pylorus-ligated preparations when given intraduodenally in a dose of 30 or 100 micrograms/kg. The agent, however, significantly stimulated gastric secretion of rats with either a ligated or intact pylorus when given orally in doses of 3-100 micrograms/kg. Orally administered arbaprostil dose-dependently prevented the development of HCI-ethanol-, histamine-, water-immersion stress-, or indomethacin-induced gastric erosions. Intraduodenally administered arbaprostil also dose-dependently prevented the development of aspirin-induced gastric erosions in pylorus-ligated rats. Arbaprostil, given orally in doses of 1-100 micrograms/kg twice daily for 2 weeks, had little or no effect on the healing of acetic acid-induced gastric ulcers. However, oral administration of the agent in a dose of 3 or 10 micrograms/kg twice daily for 4 weeks significantly accelerated the healing of acetic acid-induced gastric ulcers. The increase in doses up to 100 micrograms/kg twice daily for 4 weeks had no effect on ulcer healing. These results indicate that arbaprostil, at either antisecretory or even acid stimulating doses, is effective in preventing the development of acute gastric erosions and in accelerating the healing of chronic gastric ulcers.

Effects of nizatidine, a new histamine H2-receptor antagonist, on gastric acid secretion and various gastric and duodenal lesions in rats: comparison with cimetidine

We examined the antisecretory and antilesion activities of nizatidine in rats. Male SD or Donryu rats (200-260 g) were used under fasted or fed conditions. Nizatidine, given orally or parenterally (intraperitoneally, subcutaneously or intraduodenally) at 0.3-150 mg/kg, inhibited both basal (pylorus-ligation preparations) and histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion (acute fistula preparations) in a dose-dependent manner. The potency of nizatidine was 2 to 8 times greater than cimetidine when the ED50 values (mg/kg or mu mole/kg) of each agent were compared. The antisecretory activity of nizatidine, given orally, persisted for more than 3.5 hr, but disappeared 6 hr later. Nizatidine, given orally or subcutaneously at 0.3-150 mg/kg, prevented development of gastric lesions induced by water immersion, pylorus ligation (Shay), histamine, aspirin, or indomethacin in a dose-dependent manner. Duodenal ulcers induced by mepirizole were also markedly prevented with nizatidine. The potency of nizatidine on stress lesions or duodenal ulcers was about 20 or 14 times greater than that of cimetidine, respectively. Nizatidine, given orally 3 times a day for 4 weeks, significantly (P less than 0.05) accelerated the healing of acetic acid-induced gastric ulcers which were delayed by prolonged treatment with indomethacin. These results suggest that nizatidine is a useful drug for the treatment of peptic ulcers in man.     

Effects of TU-199, a novel H+, K(+)-ATPase inhibitor, on gastric acid secretion and gastroduodenal ulcers in rats.

We studied the effects of TU-199, a novel H+, K(+)-ATPase inhibitor, on gastric acid secretion and gastroduodenal lesions in rats in comparison with those of omeprazole. TU-199 inhibited hog gastric H+, K(+)-ATPase activity and its potency was almost equal to that of omeprazole (IC50 = 6.2 and 4.2 microM, respectively). In vivo, TU-199 inhibited basal gastric acid secretion in pylorus-ligated rats in a dose-dependent manner (ED50 = 4.2 mg/kg p.o.). In gastric fistula rats. TU-199 (2.5 and 5 mg/kg i.d.) also inhibited gastric acid secretion stimulated by histamine, carbachol or tetragastrin. Furthermore, TU-199 prevented the formation of water-immersion restraint stress-, pylorus ligation- and indomethacin-induced gastric lesions, and mepirizole-induced duodenal ulcer in rats. These antisecretory and antiulcer effects of TU-199 were 2-4 times more potent than those of omeprazole. The results demonstrate that TU-199 potently inhibits the acid secretion and formation of ulcers in various experimental rat models via an inhibition of H+, K(+)-ATPase. These findings suggest that TU-199 may have a beneficial effect against peptic ulcer disease in humans.     

Effects of the new H2-receptor antagonist 3-amino-4-[4- [4- (1-piperidinomethyl)-2-pyridyloxy]-cis-2-butenylamino]-3-cyclobutene-1, 2- dione hydrochloride on gastric acid secretion and ulceration

The effect of 3-amino-4-[4-[4-(1-piperidinomethyl)-2-pyridyloxy]-cis- 2-butenylamino]-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione hydrochloride (IT-066), a new H2-receptor antagonist, on gastric acid secretion and on various experimental ulcers was investigated. IT-066 showed very potent and long lasting antisecretory action in pylorus ligated rats. The inhibitory potency of IT-066 given subcutaneously for gastric acid secretion was 1285 and 44 times higher than for cimetidine and famotidine, respectively. The duration of the inhibitory action of IT-066 was significantly longer than that of famotidine and cimetidine. In pylorus ligated rats, IT-066 showed almost 20 times higher potency than omeprazole with intraduodenal administration, and almost the same duration of action as omeprazole with one tenth the dose in oral administration. IT-066 showed a powerful protective effect on various experimental ulcer models. The potency of IT-066 administered subcutaneously was significantly higher compared with that of cimetidine, famotidine and omeprazole. IT-066 given orally also showed a more powerful antiulcer effect than cimetidine and omeprazole, and was comparable with that of famotidine in restraint and water immersion stress and cold-stress plus indometacin induced ulcer models in rats. These results suggest that IT-066 has powerful and long lasting antisecretory and antiulcer effects and is a useful antisecretory drug for treatment of peptic ulcer diseases.     

Effects of the novel anti-ulcer agent 1-(5'-oxohexyl)-3-methyl-7-propyl xanthine on experimental ulcers and gastric secretion in rats

The effects of 1-(5'-oxohexyl)-3-methyl-7-propyl xanthine (HWA 285) on various experimentally induced ulcers and gastric acid secretion were investigated in rats. HWA 285 (10-50 mg/kg, p.o.) inhibited restraint and water-immersion-induced stress, ulcers, indometacin- and absolute ethanol-induced gastric ulcers and mepirizole-induced duodenal ulcers in rats in a dose-dependent manner. HWA 285 (10-25 mg/kg i.d.) had inhibitory effects on acetylsalicylic acid-induced ulcers. The healing of acetic acid-induced chronic ulcers was significantly accelerated by HWA 285 (25 mg/kg p.o.) when it was given twice daily for 7 consecutive days. When given orally (twice a day, 11 doses in total) before the induction of gastric ulcers by stress, cimetidine at 100 mg/kg aggravated the ulcers, whereas, HWA 285 at 25 mg/kg had not such an effect. In conscious pylorus-ligated rats, HWA 285 (10-100 mg/kg i.p.) showed a dose-dependent inhibition on basal and desglugastrin- and 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG)-stimulated gastric acid secretion. In stomach-lumen perfused rats, HWA 285 (30 mg/kg i.v.) inhibited 2-DG-stimulated gastric acid secretion but not carbachol-stimulated gastric acid secretion. These results suggest that the anti-ulcer effects of HWA 285 are produced by cytoprotective and central anti-secretory activity without peripheral anti-cholinergic properties. Whether the central anti-secretory effects of HWA 285 play thereby the key role, have to be clarified in further investigation.     

Effects of a new histamine H2-receptor antagonist, Z-300, on gastric secretion and gastro-duodenal lesions in rats: comparison with roxatidine.

We examined the effects of a new compound, N-[3-[3-(piperidinomethyl)phenoxy]-propyl]-2-(2-hydroxyethyl-1- thio)acetamido.2-(4-hydroxy benzoyl)benzoate (Z-300), on the histamine H2-receptor, gastric secretion in rats and dogs, and acute gastro-duodenal lesions or chronic gastric ulcers in rats. Roxatidine acetate hydrochloride (roxatidine), a known histamine H2-receptor antagonist, was used as a reference compound. The pA2 values for Z-300 and roxatidine for the isolated guinea pig atrium were 6.8 and 7.0, respectively. These agents at less than 10(-5) M did not affect the contraction of guinea pig ileum in response to carbachol. Z-300, administered either orally or parenterally, significantly inhibited the basal and histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion in rats. Gastric acid secretion stimulated by histamine, pentagastrin or carbachol in Heidenhain pouch dogs was also significantly inhibited by the compound. The effect persisted for greater than 7 hr in the case of histamine-stimulation. Oral Z-300 significantly protected the gastric mucosa from water-immersion stress-, indomethacin-, aspirin- and HCl.ethanol-induced lesions and protected the duodenal mucosa against mepirizole- and cysteamine-induced ulcers. These effects on gastric secretion and lesion formation were, as a whole, stronger than those observed with roxatidine. Z-300, but not roxatidine, significantly accelerated the spontaneous healing of acetic acid ulcers induced in rats and prevented the delay in ulcer healing caused by indomethacin. The mechanism of action of Z-300 on acute lesions and chronic ulcers appears to be mostly related to its potent antisecretory and mucosal-protective activities.     

Autonomic drug effects and gastric secretion in a new experimental model of stress ulcers in rats

A psychological procedure which does not involve the application of physical stimulation was used to produce gastric ulcers experimentally. Ulceration was induced in rats by exposing the animals to the aggressive attacks of rats treated with 6-hydroxy-dopamine (6-OHDA). Gastric secretion and the effects of autonomic drugs on ulcer formation were investigated. Atropine methylbromide did not significantly inhibit the occurrence of erosions. Phentolamine or hexamethonium bromide significantly inhibited the production of erosions, and combined administration of an anticholinergic agents and alpha-blocking agent led to a complete inhibition, with no notable behavioral change. In case of pylorus ligation, gastric secretion during exposure to attack of 6-OHDA-treated rats was significantly less than that in the controls. We suggest that the sympathetic nervous system plays an important role in the production of gastric erosions, as induced by the methods reported in this study.     

Effects of IT-066, a new histamine H2-receptor antagonist, on gastric acid secretion and experimental gastric ulcers in rats and dogs

We examined the effects of a new histamine H2-receptor antagonist, 3-amino-4-(4-[4-(1-piperidinomethyl)-2-pyridyloxy]-cis-2- butenylamino)-3- cyclobutene-1,2-dione hydrochloride (IT-066), on gastric acid secretion and the healing process of experimental ulcers in rats and dogs. Famotidine, a well-established H2-receptor antagonist, was used as the reference drug. Male Donryu rats (240-260 g) and Beagle dogs of both sexes (8-10 kg), having Heidenhain pouches, were used. IT-066 dose-dependently inhibited the basal gastric acid secretion of rats, and this inhibition significantly persisted for 12 hr. In addition, the agent significantly inhibited histamine-stimulated acid secretion in both normal rats and rats with acetic acid ulcers. IT-066, given p.o. twice daily for 2 and 3 weeks after ulceration, significantly accelerated both spontaneous and delayed healing (with indomethacin) of acetic acid-induced gastric ulcers in rats. The effects of IT-066 on acid secretion and ulcer healing were almost the same or slightly more potent than those observed with famotidine. IT-066, when given i.v. or p.o., dose-dependently inhibited the gastric acid secretion stimulated by histamine, pentagastrin, or carbachol in dogs. The antisecretory effects of the agent on histamine-stimulated acid secretion significantly persisted for more than 6 hr. These results indicate that IT-066 appears to be a promising antisecretory and anti-ulcer agent.     

Effects of FPL-52694, a new mast cell stabilizer, on gastric secretion and various acute gastric lesions in rats

Oral FPL-52694 [5-(2-hydroxypropoxy)-8-propyl-4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-2-carboxylic acid Na], a new mast cell stabilizer, dose-dependently inhibited gastric acid secretion but increased the volume and pepsin output in pylorus-ligated rats. Intraduodenal FPL-52694 significantly inhibited all of the volume, acidity, acid output and pepsin output. Concerning the acidity, oral administration of the agent showed much more potent inhibition than intraduodenal administration. Oral FPL-52694 markedly inhibited the development of pylorus-ligated ulcers, water-immersion stress- and aspirin-induced gastric erosions and moderately inhibited the formation of reserpine-induced gastric erosions in rats. Intraduodenal FPL-52694 also inhibited pylorus-ligated ulcers whereas it had no effect on aspirin-induced gastric erosions. Histamine-induced gastric erosions were not affected by oral FPL-52694. These effects of FPL-52694 were almost the same as those of cimetidine, except that cimetidine tended to inhibit histamine-induced gastric erosions. Although the precise mechanism of action of FPL-52694 remains unknown, oral FPL-52694 appears to be a promising agent for the treatment of peptic ulcers.

Effects of 3-hydroxymethyl-2-methylimidazo [2, 1-b] benzothiazole (NIK-228) on gastric acid secretion and various experimental peptic ulcers in rats

We examined the antisecretory and antiulcer activities of NIK-228 in rats. Male Wistar rats (200 to 250 g) were used under 24 to 48 hr fasted (without water) conditions. NIK-228 and famotidine were administered orally 1 hr before pylorus ligation, stress or each ulceration inducer. Both NIK-228 (10 to 100 mg/kg) and famotidine (0.3 to 3 mg/kg) dose-dependently inhibited gastric secretion in pylorus ligated rats. Water-immersion stress-, indomethacin- or pylorus ligation (Shay)-induced gastric ulcers were dose-dependently inhibited by NIK-228 (10 to 100 mg/kg), but only water-immersion stress and indomethacin induced ulcers were dose-dependently inhibited by famotidine (0.03 to 3 mg/kg). Ethanol- and 0.6 N HCl-induced gastric lesions were remarkably inhibited by NIK-228 (ED50 = 2.7 and 5.6 mg/kg), but tended to be inhibited also by famotidine (0.3 to 3 mg/kg). Cysteamine-induced duodenal ulcer was inhibited significantly by NIK-228 (30, 100 mg/kg) or famotidine (3 mg/kg). NIK-228 may produce its antiulcer effects via antisecretory and cytoprotective effects. These results suggest that NIK-228 has antisecretory and antiulcer activities.     

Effect of OPC-12759, a novel antiulcer agent, on chronic and acute experimental gastric ulcer, and gastric secretion in rats

The antiulcer effects of OPC-12759, a novel antiulcer agent were compared with those of cetraxate in various experimental ulcer models and on gastric secretion in rats. OPC-12759 (0.3-30 mg/kg, b.i.d., p.o.) significantly accelerated the healing rate of acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer in a dose-dependent manner, while cetraxate did not. When administered orally at 0.3-30 mg/kg, b.i.d., for 7 days, pretreatment with OPC-12759 (0.3-30 mg/kg, b.i.d., p.o.) prevented the formation of acute gastric ulcers, induced by: restraint water immersion stress, aspirin, indomethacin, histamine, serotonin, platelet activating factor (PAF) and DDC. Cetraxate showed antiulcer activity against a part of the OPC-12759-positive gastric ulcer models. Given intraperitoneally at the single dosing range of 10-100 mg/kg, OPC-12759 inhibited the formation of these acute gastric ulcer models. OPC-12759 administered orally at 0.3-30 mg/kg, b.i.d., for 7 days did not inhibit basal gastric secretion in pylorus ligated rats. The results indicated that OPC-12759 possesses wide spectrum antiulcer activity as compared with cetraxate.     

Antiulcer effect of (-)-cis-2,3-dihydro-3-(4-methylpiperazinylmethyl) -2-phenyl-1,5-benzothiazepin-4-(5H)-one hydrochloride (BTM-1086) in experimental animals

Effects of (-) cis-2,3-dihydro-3-(4-methylpiperazinylmethyl)-2-phenyl-1,5-benz othiazepin-4-(5H ) -one hydrochloride (BTM-1086) on various experimental gastric and duodenal ulcers were studied in rats. In the pylorus-ligated ulcer, restraint and water immersion stress ulcer, and drug-induced ulcer (indomethacin, aspirin, reserpine, serotonin, cysteamine), BTM-1086 prevented the development of ulcer at a dose of 0.1 to 1 mg/kg, p.o., but only weakly inhibited the histamine-induced gastric ulcer. The inhibitory activities of BTM-1086 were significantly higher than those of atropine sulfate. In the healing experiment with the acetic acid-induced stomach ulcer, BTM-1086 (1 mg/kg/day, p.o., X 14) showed a significant healing effect, which was higher than that of propantheline bromide. BTM-1086 at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg, i.d., remarkably inhibited the gastric secretion 6 hr after pylorus ligation. The aspirin-induced reductions of the total acid and K+ as well as the increments of the volume and Na+ in the gastric secretion were prevented dose-dependently by pretreatment with BTM-1086.     

胃散对胃溃疡模型大鼠胃黏膜保护作用的研究

目的 研究胃散对胃溃疡大鼠胃黏膜的保护作用。方法 采用乙酸烧灼型胃溃疡模型、幽门结扎型胃溃疡模型、乙醇损伤型胃溃疡模型,检测溃疡指数、胃酸总酸度、胃酸分泌速度和胃蛋白酶活性,综合考察胃散对胃溃疡模型大鼠胃黏膜的保护作用。结果 胃散在1、0.5、0.25 g/kg剂量下,对乙酸烧灼型胃溃疡有非常显著的促愈合作用;对幽门结扎型胃溃疡的形成有显著的抑制作用;对乙醇损伤的胃黏膜也有显著的保护作用;对胃液总酸度、胃酸分泌速度和胃蛋白酶活性有明显抑制作用,显著增加胃液分泌量。结论 胃散具有增加胃液分泌、抑制胃酸分泌、抑制胃蛋白酶活性、保护胃黏膜和防止胃溃疡的作用。     

Effect of omeprazole on delayed healing of acetic acid-induced gastric ulcers in rats

Omeprazole, a gastric mucosal proton pump inhibitor, significantly and dose-dependently prevented the delayed healing of acetic acid-induced gastric ulcers in response to repeatedly administered indomethacin to rats. Both basal and histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretions in rats with acetic acid-induced ulcers that were given indomethacin were markedly and persistently (greater than 24 hr) inhibited after 4 weeks treatment with omeprazole. The prevention of delayed ulcer healing by omeprazole appears to be due to its long-lasting antisecretory activity.

Effect of aqueous extract of neem (Azadirachta indica) leaves on offensive and diffensive gastric mucosal factors in rats

Standardized aqueous extract of Neem (Azadirachta indica) leaves (AIE) has been reported to show both ulcer protective and ulcer healing effects in normal as well as in diabetic rats. To study the mechanism of its ulcer protective/healing actions, effects of AIE (500 mg/ kg) was studied on various parameters of offensive acid-pepsin secretion in 4 hr pylorus ligation, pentagastrin (PENTA, 5 microg/kg/hr)-stimulated acid secretion and gastric mucosal proton pump activity and defensive mucin secretion including life span of gastric mucosal cells in rats. AIE was found to inhibit acid-pepsin secretion in 4 hr pylorus ligated rats. Continuous infusion of PENTA significantly increased the acid secretion after 30 to 180 min or in the total 3 hr acid secretion in rat stomach perfusate while, AIE pretreatment significantly decreased them. AIE inhibited the rat gastric mucosal proton pump activity and the effect was comparable with that of omeprazole (OMZ). Further, AIE did not show any effect on mucin secretion though it enhanced life span of mucosal cells as evidenced by a decrease in cell shedding in the gastric juice. Thus, our present data suggest that the ulcer protective activity of AIE may be due to its anti-secretary and proton pump inhibitory activity rather than on defensive mucin secretion. Further, acute as well as sub acute toxicity studies have indicated no mortality with 2.5 g/kg dose of AIE in mice and no significant alterations in body or tissues weight, food and water intake, haematological profile and various liver and kidney function tests in rats when treated for 28 days with 1 g/kg dose of AIE.     

The gastric antisecretory activity of 3-methoxy-5,7,3'4'-tetrahydroxyflavan (ME)--a specific histidine decarboxylase inhibitor in rats

3-Methoxy-5,7,3'4'-tetrahydroxyflavan (ME), a specific histidine decarboxylase inhibitor, has been shown to significantly reduce the gastric acid secretion and gastric tissue histamine levels in 6 h pylorus ligated rats. It has been found to be as effective as cimetidine in reducing the gastric acid secretion. However, cimetidine does not affect the gastric tissues histamine levels in the normal or pylorus ligated rats. These observations clearly establish that the two drugs reduce the gastric acid secretion by different mechanisms and suggest that their combination may show a potentiated gastric anti-ulcer activity.
