Mepirizole, a non-steroidal antiinflammatory compound, its ulcerogenicity and inhibitory action on lesions induced by acidic antiinflammatory agents in the rat stomach. 1980

K Kobayashi, and S Chono, and H Yamada

Gastric lesions were produced in rats by the administration for 2 weeks of 300 mg/kg/day of mepirizole, a basic non-steroidal antiinflammatory compound. Although the single administration of 200 mg/kg of mepirizole had no effect, the addition of water-immersion stress for one hour induced lesions not only in the corpus but also in the pyloric antrum. The administration of 250 mg/kg of mefenamic acid, an acidic non-steroidal antiinflammatory compound (insufficient for producing gastric lesions at this dose alone) with the addition of one hour of water-immersion stress induced gastric lesions. The addition of 200 mg/kg of mepirizole reduced the ulcer index from 8.1 to 4.7 in the corpus and from 4 to 0.5 in the pyloric antrum. It is suggested that basic antiinflammatory compounds inhibit gastric lesions induced by combination of acidic antiinflammatory compounds and water-immersion stress.

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.
