Gastrin releasing peptide stimulates the release of Gastrin from the G cells of the
stomach.
Mechanism of acid secretion
Gastric Acid Secretion
Hydrogen ions generation: Hydrogen ions
are generated from CO2 and H2O to form
H+ and HCO3 ions (carbonic anhydrase)
Bicarbonate ions are transported out in
exchange for chloride
Hydrogen ion is pumped out of the cell,
into the lumen, in exchange for potassium
through the action of the proton pump
(H+K+-ATPase pump)
Drugs used peptic ulcer
1. Drugs which neutralize acid(Antacids): Antacids neutralize
stomach acids. These drugs typically contain a base such as carbonate or
hydroxide combined with aluminum, magnesium, or calcium. The base
combines with excess hydrogen ions (H) in the stomach and thus
increases the pH
2. Drugs which provide physical barrier
• Sucralfate (Carafate, Sulcrate). Sucralfate is a
disaccharide that exerts a cytoprotective effect
on the stomach mucosa. Sucralfate may form
a protective gel within the stomach that
adheres to ulcers and shields them from the
contents of the stomach.
3. Drugs which decrease acid secretion
1.Proton Pump Inhibitors
• Omeprazole(Risek)
• Esomeprazole (Nexium),
• Lansoprazole
2. H2 receptor blockers
• Rabeprazole
• Pantoprazole
• Dexlansoprazole
H2 receptor blockers
Histamine stimulates specific receptors on stomach parietal
cells to increase gastric acid secretion. These histamine
receptors are classified as H2 receptors. H2 antagonists, or
blockers, prevent the histamine activated release of gastric acid.
Side effects:
• headache
• nausea
• diarrhea
• abdominal pain
• dizziness,
• Constipation
• Cimetidine has been associated with gynaecomastia (breast
enlargement in men)and anti androgenic properties.
Mechanism of action of PPIs
• PPIs drug inhibit the H, K -ATPase enzyme responsible
for secreting acid from gastric parietal cells of the
stomach.
• Side effects: The most common side effects of proton pump inhibitors are:
• Headache.
• Diarrhea.
• Constipation.
• Abdominal pain.
• Flatulence.
• Fever.
• Vomiting.
• Nausea.
