MAHELOVÁ Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, Šafárik University, Kosice Received July 8, 1992 Accepted October 12, 1992 Summary The correlation between serum gastrin levels and gastric acid secretion during 4 weeks of cimetidine administration (once daily) was investigated. Serum gastrin levels and gastric acid secretion were estimated on the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day after cimetidine administration (25 mg.kg'1, intragastrically). At the mentioned time intervals gastric acid secretion stimulated by histamine and pentagastrin was also studied. It was found that on the 14th and 21th day after cimetidine administration serum gastrin levels were significantly elevated. Basal gastric acid secretion after cimetidine administration was significantly decreased at all the observed time intervals. Histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion was increased on the 14th, 21st and 28th day after cimetidine administration Hypoacidity was not followed at all time intervals by hypergastrinaemia (only on day 14 and 21 after cimetidine). Key words Cimetidine - Gastrin concentration - Gastric acid output H2-receptor antagonists (cimetidine, (SIGMA) was given orally (through a gastric tube) in a ranitidine, famotidine) which are potent inhibitors of single dose of 25 mg.kg'1 (dissolved in 0.5 % gastric acid secretion, have proved to be an effective methylcellulose, pH 9.0 - prepared with NaOH). form of treatment of gastric ulceration.

  • Further Analysis of Anomalous Pkbvalues for Histamine
    Br. J. Pharmac. (1985), 86, 581-587 Further analysis ofanomalous pKB values for histamine H2-receptor antagonists on the mouse isolated stomach assay J.W. Blackk, P. Leff* & N.P. Shankley The Rayne Institute, King's College Hospital Medical School, Denmark Hill, London SE5 8RX and Wellcome Research Laboratories*, Langley Court, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 3BS 1 Agonist-antagonist interactions at histamine receptors have been re-examined using improved techniques, on the mouse isolated, lumen-perfused, stomach gastric acid assay. 2 Using histamine as agonist, pKB values have been estimated for burimamide, metiamide, cimetidine, ranitidine, oxmetidine and famotidine on both the gastric and guinea-pig isolated right atrium assays. With the exception of oxmetidine on the atrial assay, these compounds behaved as competitive antagonists on both assays. 3 Oxmetidine significantly depressed basal rate on the atrial assay and the Schild plot slope parameter (0.81) was significantly less than one. 4 The pKB values estimated on the gastric assay were lower than those on the atrial assay. However, the difference between the values on the gastric and atrial assays was not constant. The difference between the two assays for famotidine was not significant. 5 We conclude that the apparent varying selectivity ofthe antagonists for gastric and atrial histamine H2-receptors may be explained by the differential loss ofantagonists into the gastric secretion from the receptor compartment and that there is no need to postulate heterogeneity ofhistamine H2-receptors. Introduction Angus & Black (1979) and Angus et al. (1980) found Pearce (1981) did not find a low pKB for metiamide that the histamine H2-receptor antagonists, using the rat isolated gastric mucosa preparation for burimamide, metiamide and cimetidine behaved as the assay.

  • Platelets by Burimamide G
    Br. J. Pharmac. (1980), 71, 157-164 INHIBITION OF THROMBOXANE A2 BIOSYNTHESIS IN HUMAN PLATELETS BY BURIMAMIDE G. ALLAN, K.E. EAKINS*, P.S. KULKARNI* & R. LEVI Department of Pharmacology, Cornell University Medical College, New York, N.Y. and *Departments of Opthalmology and Pharmacology, Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons, New York, N.Y., U.S.A. 1 Burimamide selectively inhibited the formation of thromboxane A2 from prostaglandin endoper- oxides by human platelet microsomes in a dose-dependent manner (IC50 = 2.5 x 10-5 M). Burima- mide was found to be equipotent to imidazole as a thromboxane synthetase inhibitor. 2 Metiamide, cimetidine and a series of compounds either bearing a structural or pharmacological relationship to histamine caused little or no inhibition of thromboxane A2 biosynthesis by human platelet microsomes. 3 Burimamide (5 x 10-4 to 2.3 x 10- M) did not inhibit either the cyclo-oxygenase or the prosta- cyclin synthetase of sheep seminal vesicles or the prostacyclin synthetase of dog aortic microsomes. 4 Burimamide (2.5 x 10'- to 1.2 x 10-4 M) inhibited sodium arachidonate-induced human platelet aggregation; the degree of inhibition was dependent upon the concentration of arachidonic acid used to aggregate the platelets.

  • Selective and Competitive Histamine H2-Receptor Blocking Effect of Famotidine on the Blood Pressure Response in Dogs and the Acid Secretory Response in Rats
    Selective and Competitive Histamine H2-Receptor Blocking Effect of Famotidine on the Blood Pressure Response in Dogs and the Acid Secretory Response in Rats Keiji MIYATA, Takeshi KAMATO, Akira FUJIHARA and Masaaki TAKEDA Department of Pharmacology, Medicinal Research Laboratories I, Yamanouchi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., 21 Miyukigaoka, Tsukuba , Ibaraki 305, Japan Accepted July 17, 1990 Abstract-Famotidine has been already demonstrated to be a competitive H2- receptor antagonist in the stomachs of dogs and cats. The present experiments were carried out to examine the effects of famotidine on changes in blood pressure induced by dimaprit and several other agonists in vagotomized, anesthetized dogs and on changes in gastric acid secretion induced by histamine in stomach-perfused, anesthetized rats. Famotidine caused a parallel displacement of the dimaprit dose-response curve to the right with a DR10 value of 0.059 ƒÊmol/kg, indicating that famotidine is 166 times more potent than cimetidine in vascular H2-blocking activity. On the contrary, famotidine did not affect the depressor responses to 2- pyridylethylamine and histamine that were antagonized by mepyramine. The histamine dose-response curve was displaced to the right more markedly after simultaneous administration of mepyramine and famotidine than after mepyramine alone. The effects of methacholine, phenylephrine and isoproterenol on blood pressure were not influenced by famotidine in doses up to 720 nmol/kg. In rats, famotidine also caused a parallel displacement of the acid dose-response curve to histamine to the right with a DR3 value of 24 ƒÊmol/kg/hr in stomach-perfused rats anesthetized with pentobarbital, exhibiting a potency 108 times greater than that of cimetidine.
