The effect of a new histamine H2-receptor antagonist derived from the lamtidine molecule and containing a nitric oxide (NO)-donor furoxan moiety (derivative 1) was studied for its gastric antisecretory activity and for a possible gastroprotective effect, in comparison with the analog without the furoxan moiety (derivative 2) The H2-receptor antagonistic activity was also investigated in the isolated guinea pig papillary muscle.

Abstract

The effect of a new histamine H2-receptor antagonist derived from the lamtidine molecule and containing a nitric oxide (NO)-donor furoxan moiety (derivative 1) was studied for its gastric antisecretory activity and for a possible gastroprotective effect, in comparison with the analog without the furoxan moiety (derivative 2) The H2-receptor antagonistic activity was also investigated in the isolated guinea pig papillary muscle. Derivative 1 was approximately 10 times less potent than derivative 2 at the H2-receptor level; conversely, t was about 10 times more effective as a gastroprotective agent against ethanol- and 0.6 N HCl- induced gastric lessons The mechanism of the gastroprotection exerted by derivative 1 is probably connected with the release of NO, whose vasodilating action on gastric mucosa vessels is crucial. The combined antisecretory and gastroprotective activity of derivative 1 allows this compound to be considered as a prototype of a new class of antiulcer agents.
