H. Yuki et al., ANTISECRETORY EFFECTS OF A NOVEL AND LONG-LASTING HISTAMINE H-2-RECEPTOR ANTAGONIST, YM-14471, IN RATS AND DOGS, Japanese Journal of Pharmacology, 63(3), 1993, pp. 345-351
We investigated some properties of YM-14471 [3-(diethylamino)propyl]-6
-methyl-pyrimidine-4-one trihydrochloride), a new H-2-receptor antagon
ist, in comparison with those of famotidine, cimetidine and omeprazole
. In guinea pig atria, famotidine and cimetidine produced a competitiv
e dose-dependent displacement of histamine-induced tachycardia. In con
trast, low concentrations of YM-14471 showed competitive inhibition of
tachycardia, whereas high concentrations were irreversible or slowly
dissociable. In pylorus-ligated rats, intravenous YM-14471, famotidine
and cimetidine dose-dependently inhibited basal gastric secretion wit
h ED(50) values of 0.04, 0.43 and 31.2 mg/kg, respectively. ED(50) val
ues for oral YM-14471, famotidine, cimetidine and omeprazole were 0.81
, 0.42, 28.9 and 7.7 mg/kg when given at 1 hr before ligation, and 5.7
, 26.7, 1639.5 and 18.6 mg/kg at 5 hr before ligation. In anesthetized
dogs, intravenous YM-14471, famotidine, cimetidine and omeprazole als
o dose-dependently inhibited histamine (160 mu g/kg.hr)-induced acid s
ecretion with ED(50) values of 13.7, 8.7, 333.3 and 65.3 mu g/kg, resp
ectively. In Heidenhain pouch dogs, YM-14471 inhibited histamine (40 m
u g/kg.hr)-induced acid secretion by both intravenous (0.02 mg/kg) and
oral administration (0.3 mg/kg). Moreover, the inhibitory effect of Y
M-14471 was more prolonged than those of famotidine and cimetidine by
either route, and it was as long as that of omeprazole dosed orally. T
hese results suggest that YM-14471 is an irreversible or slowly dissoc
iable H-2-receptor antagonist, and has long antisecretory effect.
