KW-5092 (2-[1-[2-[[5-(piperidinomethyl)-2-furanyl] methylamino]ethyl]imidazonylidin-2-ylidenene]malononitrile fumarate) is a novel gastroprokinetic agent with both acetylcholine release facilitatory and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity. We have investigated the effects of KW-5092 on antroduodenal coordination and gastric emptying in guinea-pigs. In the guinea-pig isolated gastroduodenal preparation, KW-5092 at 3 x 10(-7) to 3 x 10(-6) M significantly increased antroduodenal coordination. The effect of KW-5092 was almost completely inhibited by atropine or tetrodotoxin. Cisapride, a gastroprokinetic agent with acetylcholine release facilitatory activity, also increased coordination whereas neither acetylcholine nor the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor neostigmine affected it. In-vivo, KW-5092 and cisapride enhanced gastric emptying whereas neostigmine delayed it. These results suggest that acetylcholine release facilitation, but not acetylcholinesterase inhibition, is involved in the enhancement by KW-5092 of antroduodenal coordination and gastric emptying.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007093	Imidazoles	Compounds containing 1,3-diazole, a five membered aromatic ring containing two nitrogen atoms separated by one of the carbons. Chemically reduced ones include IMIDAZOLINES and IMIDAZOLIDINES. Distinguish from 1,2-diazole (PYRAZOLES).
D008297	Male		Males
D009388	Neostigmine	A cholinesterase inhibitor used in the treatment of myasthenia gravis and to reverse the effects of muscle relaxants such as gallamine and tubocurarine. Neostigmine, unlike PHYSOSTIGMINE, does not cross the blood-brain barrier.

D009570	Nitriles	Organic compounds containing the -CN radical. The concept is distinguished from CYANIDES, which denotes inorganic salts of HYDROGEN CYANIDE.	Nitrile
D002800	Cholinesterase Inhibitors	Drugs that inhibit cholinesterases. The neurotransmitter ACETYLCHOLINE is rapidly hydrolyzed, and thereby inactivated, by cholinesterases. When cholinesterases are inhibited, the action of endogenously released acetylcholine at cholinergic synapses is potentiated. Cholinesterase inhibitors are widely used clinically for their potentiation of cholinergic inputs to the gastrointestinal tract and urinary bladder, the eye, and skeletal muscles; they are also used for their effects on the heart and the central nervous system.
