Medicine, Tokyo, Japan Keywords: functional dyspepsia, acotiamide, acetylcholinesterase, Rome III For personal use only. Introduction Acotiamide, a novel oral prokinetic drug, was developed by Zeria Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan) for treatment of patients with functional dyspepsia (FD).1,2 FD is a functional gastrointestinal disorder with upper abdominal symptoms, such as postpran- dial fullness, upper abdominal distension, and early satiety from the gastroduodenal area despite any existence of organic disorders. Additionally, FD is divided into two classes: postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) and epigastric pain syndrome. Duration of symptom is defined by an international diagnostic criteria (Rome III criteria). Cri- teria should be fulfilled for the last 3 months. Onset should be at least 6 months before diagnosis. Acotiamide modulates upper gastrointestinal motility to alleviate abdominal symptoms resulting from hypomotility. Acotiamide was launched in Japan in June 2013 as a therapeutic agent for FD. A Phase III trial was commenced in Europe, and a Phase Clinical and Experimental Gastroenterology downloaded from https://www.dovepress.com/ by 137.108.70.13 on 14-May-2019 II trial was finished in the USA. This review was conducted to summarize the updated current evidence just after the publication of meta-analysis,3 and to critically evaluate the efficacy as well as adverse effects of acotiamide in the treatment of patients with FD. Treatment for FD The name of clinical conditions that present symptoms such as epigastric pain and epigastric distress have been changing. In the 1960s, along with advancement of Correspondence: Hidekazu Suzuki endoscopic diagnosis, the concept of “chronic gastritis” was intensively used.

Abstract Background: Functional Dyspepsia (FD) is a highly prevalent clinical condition that imposes negative economic burden on health-care system as well as greatly impairs quality of life. Treatment of non-specific and bothersome meal-related FD symptoms like post-prandial fullness, upper abdominal bloating and early satiety, is a therapeutic challenge for the clinicians as poorly-defined and ill-understood pathogenesis has hampered efforts to develop effective treatments. Acotiamide is first-in-class drug that exerts its gastro-kinetic effect by enhancing acetylcholine release. Though evidence of its efficacy and tolerance are available through randomized clinical trials, real world data from its regular in-clinic use is lacking.

  • Prokinetics for the Treatment of Functional Dyspepsia: Bayesian
    Yang et al. BMC Gastroenterology (2017) 17:83 DOI 10.1186/s12876-017-0639-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Prokinetics for the treatment of functional dyspepsia: Bayesian network meta-analysis Young Joo Yang, Chang Seok Bang* , Gwang Ho Baik, Tae Young Park, Suk Pyo Shin, Ki Tae Suk and Dong Joon Kim Abstract Background: Controversies persist regarding the effect of prokinetics for the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD). This study aimed to assess the comparative efficacy of prokinetic agents for the treatment of FD. Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of prokinetics for the treatment of FD were identified from core databases. Symptom response rates were extracted and analyzed using odds ratios (ORs). A Bayesian network meta- analysis was performed using the Markov chain Monte Carlo method in WinBUGS and NetMetaXL. Results: In total, 25 RCTs, which included 4473 patients with FD who were treated with 6 different prokinetics or placebo, were identified and analyzed. Metoclopramide showed the best surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) probability (92.5%), followed by trimebutine (74.5%) and mosapride (63.3%). However, the therapeutic efficacy of metoclopramide was not significantly different from that of trimebutine (OR:1.32, 95% credible interval: 0.27–6.06), mosapride (OR: 1.99, 95% credible interval: 0.87–4.72), or domperidone (OR: 2.04, 95% credible interval: 0.92–4.60). Metoclopramide showed better efficacy than itopride (OR: 2.79, 95% credible interval: 1. 29–6.21) and acotiamide (OR: 3.07, 95% credible interval: 1.43–6.75). Domperidone (SUCRA probability 62.9%) showed better efficacy than itopride (OR: 1.37, 95% credible interval: 1.07–1.77) and acotiamide (OR: 1.51, 95% credible interval: 1.04–2.18).

There are 74 US FDA-approved manufacturing facilities in India. A dose is the quantity to be administered at one time, or the total quantity administered during a specified period. A combination of two or more actives in a fixed ratio of doses is known as fixed dose combination. The development of fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) is becoming increasingly important from a public health perspective. However, because of un-avoided dangerous adverse effects, Central Government of India banned about 344 FDCs on March 10th 2016 as per recommendations of six-member committee headed by CK Kokate. Banned drugs are still available in India due to lack of awareness and law enforcement. The present article provides a complete list of approved and banned FDCs in 2016. The pharmacist should play an active role in patient education of such banned and approved drugs regularly and then play an key role in maintain healthy India.

  • Acetylcholinesterase
    AChE Acetylcholinesterase Acetylcholinesterase (AChE or acetylhydrolase) is a hydrolase that hydrolyzes the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. AChE is found at mainly neuromuscular junctions and cholinergic brain synapses, where its activity serves to terminate synaptic transmission. It belongs tocarboxylesterase family of enzymes. It is the primary target of inhibition by organophosphorus compounds such as nerve agents and pesticides. AChE has a very high catalytic activity - each molecule of AChE degrades about 25000 molecules ofacetylcholine (ACh) per second, approaching the limit allowed by diffusion of the substrate. ACh is released from the nerve into the synaptic cleft and binds to ACh receptors on the post-synaptic membrane, relaying the signal from the nerve. AChE, also located on the post-synaptic membrane, terminates the signal transmission by hydrolyzing ACh. The liberated choline is taken up again by the pre-synaptic nerve and ACh is synthetized by combining with acetyl-CoA through the action of choline acetyltransferase. www.MedChemExpress.com 1 AChE Inhibitors & Activators (+)-Phenserine (-)-Corynoxidine Cat.
