Inhibition of pentagastrin-stimulated and overnight gastric secretion by mianserin. 1983

J A Wilson, and J R Read, and E J Boyd, and K G Wormsley

1 The effects of mianserin (60 mg) have been studied on nocturnal and pentagastrin-stimulated gastric secretion. 2 Mianserin reduced pentagastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion by 38%, pepsin by 40% and secretory volume by 45% during a 1 h test. 3 Twelve-hour overnight secretion of acid was reduced by 37%, while secretion of pepsin was reduced by 43% and secretory volume by 51%. 4 No adverse effects were noted. 5 These findings, which achieve statistical significance, suggest the need for further study to evaluate the possible role of mianserin in the therapy of duodenal ulcer disease.

D008803 Mianserin A tetracyclic compound with antidepressant effects. It may cause drowsiness and hematological problems. Its mechanism of therapeutic action is not well understood, although it apparently blocks alpha-adrenergic, histamine H1, and some types of serotonin receptors.

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
