Difference in mode of action of cimetidine and gefarnate on endogenous prostacyclin, prostaglandin E2 and thromboxane in rat gastric mucosa. 1983

T Arakawa, and H Nakamura, and S Chono, and H Satoh, and H Yamada, and T Ono, and K Kobayashi

The effects of cimetidine and gefarnate on endogenous prostacyclin, prostaglandin E2 and thromboxane were studied in vivo in rat gastric mucosa. The animals received cimetidine (20 mg/kg, i.p.) and/or gefarnate (100 mg/kg, s.c.) twice a day for 7 days. Gastric mucosal 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha (as prostacyclin), prostaglandin E2 and thromboxane B2 (as thromboxane A2) were determined by radioimmunoassay. Cimetidine reduced prostacyclin, prostaglandin E2, but not thromboxane A2. Gefarnate inhibited the cimetidine-induced reduction of prostacyclin and prostaglandin E2; in cimetidine-untreated controls, it did not produce an increase in those prostaglandins and thromboxane A2 above the normal levels.

D011458 Prostaglandins E (11 alpha,13E,15S)-11,15-Dihydroxy-9-oxoprost-13-en-1-oic acid (PGE(1)); (5Z,11 alpha,13E,15S)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5,13-dien-1-oic acid (PGE(2)); and (5Z,11 alpha,13E,15S,17Z)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5,13,17-trien-1-oic acid (PGE(3)). Three of the six naturally occurring prostaglandins. They are considered primary in that no one is derived from another in living organisms. Originally isolated from sheep seminal fluid and vesicles, they are found in many organs and tissues and play a major role in mediating various physiological activities. PGE
D011464 Epoprostenol A prostaglandin that is a powerful vasodilator and inhibits platelet aggregation. It is biosynthesized enzymatically from PROSTAGLANDIN ENDOPEROXIDES in human vascular tissue. The sodium salt has been also used to treat primary pulmonary hypertension (HYPERTENSION, PULMONARY).

D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.
