To define the basic antisecretory profile of a potassium-competitive antagonism of the gastric acid pump relative to other classes of acid-inhibitory drugs, they were compared to each other against all three major stimuli of acid secretion. Pumaprazole is an imidazo-pyridine derivative that was used in this investigation as an example of reversibly binding acid pump antagonists (APAs). It differs from covalently binding proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), such as omeprazole, both with respect to chemical structure and mode of interaction with the gastric H+/K+-ATPase (i.e., the acid or proton pump). The present data show that a single dose of pumaprazole is able to elevate intragastric pH in the dog with gastric fistula under pentagastrin or carbachol stimulation from pH 1 to about pH 7 while still displaying a dose-dependent, well-controlable duration of action of a few hours. Ranitidine at the same oral dose also shows a short duration of action, but combined with a far lower efficacy. By contrast, a single oral dose of the PPI omeprazole elevates intragastric pH for a longer time period, but this pH elevation is far lower compared to that of the APA. Regarding the less stringent parameter of inhibition of total acid output in the Heidenhain pouch dog, the modified Shay rat or the Ghosh-Schild rat, pumaprazole is, overall, slightly more efficacious than ranitidine. The M1-muscarinic antagonist pirenzepine is ineffective (against histamine stimulation) or far less effective than pumaprazole (against pentagastrin-stimulation), but as effective as pumaprazole against carbachol stimulation in the Ghosh-Schild rat. Basal acid output in the same model is more effectively inhibited by pumaprazole than by ranitidine. In conclusion, our data demonstrate the exceptional ability of a reversibly binding APA to elevate intragastric pH up to neutrality even upon a first administration while still displaying a limited, dose-dependent duration of action.

Background:Omeprazole produces a higher intragastric pH in the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection than after cure.Aim:To investigate whether this effect also occurs with pumaprazole (BY841), a reversible proton pump antagonist which, in contrast to omeprazole, does not require activation in the acid compartment of the parietal cell.Methods:In a randomized, crossover, double‐blind study, 24‐h intragastric pH was measured in 13 H. pylori‐positive subjects before and after a 1‐week course of omeprazole (20 mg o.d.) or of pumaprazole (100 mg b.d.). The studies were repeated after the infection was cured.Results:In the absence of drug administration, the median 24‐h pH values before cure (median 2.0, 90% CI: 1.2–3.2) did not differ from those after cure (median 1.5, 90% CI: 1.3–2.2; P = 0.115). The 24‐h pH values were higher before cure of the infection than after during both pumaprazole (6.0, 4.8–6.7 vs. 4.3, 2.6–5.7; P = 0.002) and omeprazole (5.8, 4.0–6.2 vs. 3.6, 2.8–5; P = 0.004). Both before and after cure, there were no significant differences between the two drugs with respect to acid inhibition over the 24‐h period. The median decrease in acid inhibition after cure of the infection (calculated as the difference in H+ activity in mmol/L) during pumaprazole (median 0.05, 90% CI: 6 × 10–4– 2.3) was no different from that during omeprazole (median 0.2, 90% CI: 3 × 10–3–1.5; P = 0.6).Conclusions:Both before and after cure of H. pylori infection, pumaprazole raised the intragastric pH over a 24‐h period to a similar degree as omeprazole. H. pylori infection similarly augments the pH‐increasing effect of both drugs. This effect is related to H. pylori infection and not to an increased activation of acid inhibitory agents in the parietal cell compartment.

Current status of acid pump antagonists (reversible PPIs).

The introduction of H2-receptor antagonists in the mid-1970s provided, for the first time, acceptable medical therapy for acid-related diseases. Their short duration of action and single receptor targeting, however, limited satisfactory treatment of patients. Today the control of gastric acid secretion can be effectively achieved by direct inhibition of the H+, K(+)-ATPase. Inhibition of the proton pump suppresses acid secretion independent of the route of stimulation. Two classes of drugs are able to inhibit the proton pump. First, the substituted benzimidazoles (proton pump inhibitors [PPIs]), which, due to their pKa of about 4, accumulate in the acidic secretory canaliculus of the stimulated parietal cell. Following conversion to a cationic sulfenamide, they react with cysteines on the extracytoplasmatic face of the H+, K(+)-ATPase subunit. Second, acid pump antagonists (APAs) acting by K(+)-competitive and reversible binding to the gastric proton pump, which is the final step for activation of acid secretion in the parietal cell. One possible class of APAs are imidazopyridines. BY841 was selected from this class and is chemically a (8-(2-methoxycarbonylamino-6-methyl-phenylmethylamino )-2,3-dimethyl-imidazo [1,2-a]-pyridine). In pharmacological experiments such as pH-metry in the conscious, pentagastrin-stimulated fistula dog, BY841 proved to be superior to both ranitidine and omeprazole by rapidly elevating intragastric pH up to a value of 6. The duration of this pH elevation in the dog was dose-dependent. As was predicted by the above-mentioned dog model, available clinical phase I data confirm dose-dependent pharmacodynamics of BY841 in man. Using both acid output and continuous 24-hr pH measurements, a pronounced antisecretory effect of BY841 has been found. Actually, a single 50 mg oral dose of BY841 immediately elevated intragastric pH to about 6. Higher doses caused a dose-dependent increase in duration of the pH-elevation, without any further increase in maximum pH values. Twice daily administration was more effective than once a day administration of the same daily dose. With both regimens, the duration of the pH-elevating effect of BY841 further increased upon repeated daily administration. This demonstrates lack of tolerance development, the latter being a well-known disadvantage of H2-receptor antagonists. In comparison with the standard dose of omeprazole, BY841 administered at a dose of 50 mg or 100 mg twice daily is markedly more effective on Day one of treatment, and both doses are at least as potent as omeprazole following repeated daily administration.
