Effects of NC-1300-B, A new benzimidazole derivative, on hog gastric H+, K+-ATPase, gastric acid secretion and HCl-ethanol-induced gastric lesions in rats

Abstract
This study was designed to determine the effect of a newly synthesized benzimidazole derivative NC-1300-B on H+,K+ -ATPase (proton pump) in the hog gastric mucosa and on the basal gastric acid secretion and necrotizing agent-induced gastric lesions in rats. NC-1300-B inhibited the proton pump in a concentration-dependent manner and concentrations which inhibited the enzyme activity by 50% were 4.4×10−6 M at pH 6.0 and 3.1 ×10−5 M at pH 7.4. NC-1300-B administered orally or intraperitoneally 0.5 hr before ligating the pylorus inhibited the gastric acid secretion in a dose-dependent manner. The ED50 values (doses which inhibit acid output or lesion formation by 50%) for acid secretion were 11.5 and 11.0 mg/kg with oral and intraperitoneal administration, respectively. The antisecretory effect in a dose of 100 mg/kg persisted for up to 72 hr. NC-1300-B administered orally or intraperitoneally 0.5 hr before HCl-ethanol administration protected against damage of the gastric mucosa in a dose-dependent manner. The ED50 values for lesion formation were 13.3 and 23.0 mg/kg with oral and intraperitoneal administration, respectively. This protection with an oral dose of 100 mg/kg persisted for up to 72 hr. While pretreatment with 5 mg/kg of indomethacin given subcutaneously did not appreciably reverse the NC-1300-B protection, the pretreatment with 10 mg/kg of N-ethylmaleimide given subcutaneously potently reversed the NC-1300-B protection. NC-1300-B administered intragastrically at 30 mg/kg significantly inhibited the amplitude of gastric contraction for 50 min after intragastric administration. These effects of NC-1300-B on gastric secretion and lesion formation are much the same as those of the established proton pump inhibitor omeprazole, except for the short duration of the action of omeprazole (<24 hr).
