Esaprazole, N-cyclohexyl-1-piperazineacetamide monohydrochloride, was studied for its activity to prevent gastric mucosal damage induced by several necrotizing agents in the rat. Its effects on acid gastric secretion and the role of gastric mucosal prostaglandin generation were also investigated. Esaprazole, given orally, dose dependently prevented the formation of mucosal damage induced by absolute ethanol, 0.2 N NaOH or 0.6 N HCl. This activity occurred at doses lower than the antisecretory doses. Esaprazole was also found to increase the gastric mucosal prostaglandin content but at doses that exceeded the cytoprotective doses. The failure of indomethacin to impair the gastric mucosal protection provided by esaprazole suggests that mechanisms other than mobilization of endogenous prostaglandins may be involved.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007213 Indomethacin A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) that inhibits CYCLOOXYGENASE, which is necessary for the formation of PROSTAGLANDINS and other AUTACOIDS.

D010879 Piperazines Compounds that are derived from PIPERAZINE.
D011453 Prostaglandins A group of compounds derived from unsaturated 20-carbon fatty acids, primarily arachidonic acid, via the cyclooxygenase pathway. They are extremely potent mediators of a diverse group of physiological processes. Prostaglandin,Prostanoid,Prostanoids
D011464 Epoprostenol A prostaglandin that is a powerful vasodilator and inhibits platelet aggregation. It is biosynthesized enzymatically from PROSTAGLANDIN ENDOPEROXIDES in human vascular tissue.
