Effect of meciadanol on gastric secretion and aspirin-induced gastric mucosal injury in humans. 1984

S J Konturek, and M E Kitler, and N Kwiecien, and W Obtulowicz, and J Oleksy, and B Kopp

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of a newly synthesized flavonoid, meciadanol, on gastric secretion and on aspirin-induced gastric mucosal injury in healthy humans. In vitro experiments have shown that meciadanol (INN proposed) inhibits histidine decarboxylase in gastric cells. In our study meciadanol did not affect either basal or pentagastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion or pepsin secretion and did not produce any endoscopic or histological changes in the stomach or duodenum. Meciadanol prevented aspirin-induced microbleeding and aspirin-induced DNA loss, suggesting that gastric mucosal histamine is involved in the mucosal injury caused by aspirin.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010434 Pepsin A Formed from pig pepsinogen by cleavage of one peptide bond. The enzyme is a single polypeptide chain and is inhibited by methyl 2-diaazoacetamidohexanoate. It cleaves peptides preferentially at the carbonyl linkages of phenylalanine or leucine and acts as the principal digestive enzyme of gastric juice. Pepsin,Pepsin 1,Pepsin 3
D002392 Catechin An antioxidant flavonoid, occurring especially in woody plants as both (+)-catechin and (-)-epicatechin (cis) forms. Catechinic Acid,Catechuic Acid,(+)-Catechin,(+)-Cyanidanol,(+)-Cyanidanol-3,(-)-Epicatechin,(2R,3R)-2-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)-3,5,7-chromanetriol,2H-1-Benzopyran-3,5,7-triol, 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,4-dihydro-, (2R-cis)-,3,3',4',5,7-Flavanpentol,Catergen,Cianidanol,Cyanidanol-3,Epicatechin,KB-53,Z 7300,Zyma,Cyanidanol 3,KB 53,KB53
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

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.

D006632 Histamine An amine derived by enzymatic decarboxylation of HISTIDINE. It is a powerful stimulant of gastric secretion, a constrictor of bronchial smooth muscle, a vasodilator, and also a centrally acting neurotransmitter. Ceplene,Histamine Dihydrochloride,Histamine Hydrochloride,Peremin

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D001241 Aspirin The prototypical analgesic used in the treatment of mild to moderate pain. It has anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties and acts as an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase which results in the inhibition of the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. Aspirin also inhibits platelet aggregation and is used in the prevention of arterial and venous thrombosis.
