Clinical experience with impromidine, a highly specific H2-receptor agonist. 1981

U Bangerter, and M Schlup, and M Liechti, and W H Häcki, and F Halter

The gastric secretory response to impromidine (SKF 92676), a potent selective histamine H2 agonist, has been studied in 40 patients with peptic ulcer disease or ulcer-like dyspepsia. Peak acid output following the intravenous infusion of impromidine, 10 micrograms kg-1h-1, or pentagastrin, 6 micrograms kg-1h-1, was not significantly different. This was also the case when the two drugs were administered subcutaneously at the same dose. Impromidine was well tolerated with only minor effects on the cardiovascular system both in 10 younger patients and in 20 subjects over the age of 55 years with mild to moderate cardiovascular disease. Impromidine can be considered an important tool for further investigation of the role of histamine at the H2-receptor site in man.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010418 Pentagastrin A synthetic pentapeptide that has effects like gastrin when given parenterally. It stimulates the secretion of gastric acid, pepsin, and intrinsic factor, and has been used as a diagnostic aid. Acignost,Gastrin Pentapeptide,Peptavlon,Pentapeptide, Gastrin
D010437 Peptic Ulcer Ulcer that occurs in the regions of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT which come into contact with GASTRIC JUICE containing PEPSIN and GASTRIC ACID. It occurs when there are defects in the MUCOSA barrier. The common forms of peptic ulcers are associated with HELICOBACTER PYLORI and the consumption of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS).

D011968 Receptors, Histamine Cell-surface proteins that bind histamine and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Histamine receptors are widespread in the central nervous system and in peripheral tissues. Three types have been recognized and designated H1, H2, and H3. They differ in pharmacology, distribution, and mode of action. Histamine Binding Sites,Histamine Receptors,Histamine Receptor,Binding Sites, Histamine,Receptor, Histamine,Sites, Histamine Binding
D011970 Receptors, Histamine H2 A class of histamine receptors discriminated by their pharmacology and mode of action. Histamine H2 receptors act via G-proteins to stimulate ADENYLYL CYCLASES. Among the many responses mediated by these receptors are gastric acid secretion, smooth muscle relaxation, inotropic and chronotropic effects on heart muscle, and inhibition of lymphocyte function.
