ABSTRACT Leminoprazole, an acid pump inhibitor, significantly reduces basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion in rats when administered via the systemic or local route. Our aim here was to characterize the antisecretory effect of leminoprazole on gastric acid secretion in conscious dogs. Gastric acid secretion by dogs with a vagally denervated Heidenhain pouch was stimulated by intravenous histamine infusion. Leminoprazole or omeprazole (as a reference drug) was administered either intravenously or locally into the pouch before or after histamine infusion. A bolus intravenous administration of leminoprazole and omeprazole, respectively, significantly and dose-relatedly inhibited the stimulated gastric acid secretion for > 26 hr. Local application of leminoprazole, but not omeprazole, significantly inhibited the acid secretion when applied for 15 to 30 min. The duration of the local antisecretory effect observed after 30 min application was around 8-10 hr. The acid-degraded products of leminoprazole had no effect when applied to the pouch. The blood concentration of leminoprazole was very low at 1 hr after local application. These results indicate that leminoprazole suppresses the secretory function of the parietal cells of dogs, via both the intravenous and local routes. It remains unknown whether or not locally applied leminoprazole produced the acid inhibition by inhibiting the acid pump.

    ABSTRACT: We examined the local effect of several drugs against secretagogue-stimulated acid secretion in dogs. Test drugs were applied to denervated gastric pouches in conscious dogs either for 5 to 30 min beginning 1 hr after or for 30 min before intravenous infusion of gastric secretagogues (histamine, pentagastrin, or carbachol). The antisecretory effect of test drugs delivered by an intravenous or oral route was also examined. Local application of acid pump inhibitors (omeprazole, leminoprazole) for 30 min beginning 1 hr after histamine infusion significantly inhibited gastric acid secretion. The effect of leminoprazole persisted for more than 8 hr after a 30 min application. A mast cell stabilizer (FPL 52694) applied to pouches for 15 to 30 min also potently inhibited histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion in a time-dependent manner. The duration of the antisecretory effect of such drugs after a 30 min application was greater than 4 hr. Locally applied leminoprazole and FPL 52694 for 30 min also significantly inhibited pentagastrin- and carbachol-stimulated gastric acid secretion. Although intravenous omeprazole and leminoprazole exerted a potent antisecretory effect on histamine-induced acid secretion FPL 52694 had little or no antisecretory effect following intravenous or oral administration. 16,16-dimethyl prostagladin E2 also locally inhibited histamine-stimulated acid secretion. Acid stable local anesthetics (tetracaine, ethyl-4-aminobenzoate), histamine H2-receptor blockers (cimetidine, ranitidine, and famotidine), and a muscarinic M1-receptor antagonist (pirenzepine) did not exhibit local antisecretory effects. Such results strongly suggest that the apical membrane of parietal cells possesses a pharmcologically sensitive portion similar to the basolateral membrane, which usually mediates gastric acid secretion. The apical membrane represents an intriguing target for new antisecretory drugs, as well as a new medium for further elucidating the functional features of parietal cells.
