Abstract
There is little information on the management of potentially adverse exposures to proton pump inhibitors. This study examined the distribution of 2943 proton pump inhibitor exposures reported to Texas poison control centers during 1998-2004. In particular comparisons were made between exposures among pediatric (age < or =5 yr) and adult (age > or =20 yr) patients. Of the total exposures, 1813 (62%) were to the proton pump inhibitor alone. Of exposures to proton pump inhibitors alone, 66% were age < or =5 yr, 7% 6-19 yr, and 27% > or =20 yr. Pediatric and adult patients differed with respect to patient gender, exposure reason, exposure site, management site, final medical outcome, report of specific adverse clinical exposures, and listed treatments. Proton pump inhibitor exposures differed with patient age. In the majority of instances, potentially adverse proton pump inhibitor exposures reported to poison control centers may be successfully managed at home with favorable outcome.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease and other related symptoms are common comorbidities for HIV-infected patients. Therefore, concurrent use of proton pump inhibitors and antiretrovirals is a common practice in the clinical setting. However, this practice may alter antiretroviral pharmacokinetics and lead to treatment failure due to inadequate drug exposure. Clinician awareness of these complex interactions is essential for optimal HIV management. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the interactions between proton pump inhibitors and antiretrovirals, and makes recommendations for the coadministration of proton pump inhibitors.

Abstract
The significant inhibitory capacity of gastric acid secretion of PPIs makes them the drugs of choice for treating acid-related diseases. The considerable prevalence of these diseases and the need for maintaining the administration of the drug during considerably long periods results in this therapeutic group being one of the most widely used. However, in spite of their extensive use, there continue to emerge concerns about their potential toxicity; concerns surrounding the specificity of their mechanism of action and a consequential suspicion that something so potent must involve harmful effects. PPIs act selectively on the final stage of the process of gastric acid secretion, namely the H+/K+-ATPase or proton pump. This enzyme represents an essential step in the process of secretion of H+, and PPIs exert a very specific action on the parietal cell, as they need an environment with very low pH levels, which only exist in this cell. In the present article, the adverse effects of PPIs are reviewed, with special emphasis on those related to their continued administration and on the special circumstances of patients, as in the case of the elderly, those with liver failure, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers and children. All the PPIs on the market share a common chemical basis and there are no great differences in their potential adverse effects, the possibility of them promoting opportunist infections or their capacity to generate pharmacokinetic interactions with other drugs, which, if occur, are generally insignificant. After two decades of use, PPIs have proved to be very effective and safe drugs.

Abstract
Medications to address gastrointestinal disorders are among the most commonly dispensed somatic medications. The authors examine proton pump inhibitors, H(2) blockers, 5-HT(3) receptor-antagonists, and a few other drugs that are used to address this domain of medical concerns. The metabolic pathways, interactions with the P-glycoprotein transporter, and capabilities of inhibiting or inducing metabolic enzymes are elucidated for each drug. Specific drug-drug interactions with each agent are also detailed, including both psychotropic and non-psychotropic agents. Also, the article explores how different genotypic variants for specific cytochrome P450 enzymes have an impact on the effectiveness and likelihood of drug-drug interactions relating to specific gastro-intestinal medications.

Abstract
Rabeprazole is among the most potent proton pump inhibitors (PPI) identified to date and it has been demonstrated that it is effective in such diseases as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), duodenal ulcer and gastric ulcer. There is currently interest in developing a new formulation: rabeprazole sterile powder for injection (RSPI). This investigation was conducted to evaluate the preclinical pharmacokinetics of RSPI in rats and at the same time a comparative study was carried out in dogs between RSPI and Pariet tablets using liquid chromatographic-mass spectrometry analysis. The liquid chromatographic-mass spectrometry method was first conducted and validated as being specific, and having accuracy, precision, sensitivity and a satisfactory recovery. After intravenous administration of RSPI (i.v.: 2, 6 and 18 mg/kg) to rats, no significant dose-dependency was found in the CL (4.20-5.72 l/h/kg), V(area) (d) (0.94-1.32 l/kg), dose-normalized AUC (197.20-245.82 microg/l*h based on 1 mg/kg) and t(1/2) (p>0.05). In the dog, a randomized, open-label, crossover experiment was carried out to show that the mean area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC(0-infinity)) after i.v. administration of RSPI was at least four times larger than that following oral administration of Pariet tablet at an equivalent dose but the elimination half-life of these two formulation was similar (p>0.05). The results showed that the pharmacokinetics of RSPI was linear (r(2) = 0.98) in the dose range 2-18 mg/kg and the RSPI had a much higher AUC(0-infinity) and similar t(1/2) values compared with the enteric-coated tablet.

Abstract
AIMS To compare information on drug-drug interactions (DDIs) reported on two standard drug-related information sources (Summary of Product Characteristics and Drugdex system by Micromedex), by assessing the prevalence and predictors of potential DDI with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in general practice. METHODS From the 'Caserta-1' Local Health-Service database, 156 general practitioners (GPs) were recruited. From more than 180,000 individuals registered on their lists, we selected patients receiving co-prescription of PPI and medications at interaction risk, according to the Italian Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) of PPI and Drugdex information, during the year 2003. Thereafter, we carried out a regression analysis to identify the predictors of co-prescription at interaction risk with PPI, on the basis of the two information sources. A number of analyses were performed to evaluate agreement on DDI information between the SPC of PPI and Drugdex. RESULTS According to SPC and Drugdex, 324 (3.0%) and 958 (9.0%) patients, respectively, received co-prescriptions of PPI and potentially interacting medications during the study period. PPI users' age, type of medication and number of other drug prescriptions per month were independent predictors of receiving co-prescriptions at interaction risk, when considering only Drugdex. With regard to potential DDIs with PPI, a significant disagreement (P < 0.0001) between the two drug-related information sources, was shown through agreement analyses. CONCLUSIONS Potential DDIs with PPI are a common health issue in general practice. Estimates of prevalence and predictors of potential DDIs with PPI significantly changes according to the drug information source being used.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor which is particularly suitable for use in short-term Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment. Levofloxacin-based H. pylori eradication regimens have shown good efficacy and very few side effects. Shorter treatment and absence of significant side effects should improve compliance to therapy and increase the Hp H. pylori eradication rate. AIMS To evaluate the effectiveness of 2 rabeprazole-based H. pylori eradication regimens in an open-label, randomized study carried out in a clinical practice setting. METHODS One hundred sixty-nine consecutive, treatment-naive patients with H. pylori infection were randomized to receive rabeprazole (20 mg, bid), levofloxacin (500 mg, bid), and tinidazole (500 mg, bid) for either 4 [4-d rabeprazole, levofloxacin, tinidazole (RLT), n=85] or 7 days (7-d RLT, n=84). Before treatment, all patients underwent upper digestive endoscopy. Cure rates were assessed by means of C-urea breath test. and were compared with the eradication rate obtained with standard triple therapy in our Unit (ie, 78%) and average eradication rate reported in the literature (ie, 79%). RESULTS The intention-to-treat eradication rates were 94% [87% to 98%, 95% confidence interval (CI)] and 95% (88% to 99%, 95% CI) in the 4-day RLT and 7-day RLT regimens, respectively, whereas per-protocol eradication rates were 95% (88% to 99%, 95% CI) in the 4-day RLT and 96% (90% to 99%, 95% CI) in the 7-day RLT. Both treatment regimens obtained significantly higher eradication rates as compared with standard triple therapy. The 4-day RLT showed significantly fewer side effects. CONCLUSIONS In a clinical practice setting, both 4-day and 7-day rabeprazole, high-dose levofloxacin, tinidazole-based regimens achieved relevant H. pylori eradication rates in treatment-naive patients. The lower number of side effects makes the shorter treatment regimen preferable over the conventional 7-day treatment.

Abstract
When developing an LC-MS/MS-method matrix effects are a major issue. The effect of co-eluting compounds arising from the matrix can result in signal enhancement or suppression. During method development much attention should be paid to diminish matrix effects as much as possible. The present work evaluates matrix effects from aqueous environmental samples in the simultaneous analysis of a group of nine specific pharmaceuticals with LC-ESI/MS/MS: flubendazole, propiconazole, pipamperone, cinnarizine, ketoconazole, miconazole, rabeprazole, itraconazole and domperidone. Solutions to diminish signal suppression were examined: optimisation of the sample preparation, decrease of the flow rate, and the use of appropriate internal standards. Several SPE-stationary phases were tested in view of retention of the analytes: Oasis HLB, C8, Phenyl, Strata X-polymer RP sorbent and Strata X-polymeric SCX/RP sorbent. Oasis HLB showed the best retention for all analytes. The Oasis HLB SPE-method was optimised, but analyses showed high matrix suppression. Therefore, a second SPE-method, on a phenyl stationary phase (the second best option), was also optimised. A comparison of the matrix effect was made between the two procedures: the phenyl-method was less subject to matrix effects, however, the average matrix effect (ME%) of 46% indicated that matrix effects where still present. Several optimisation options for the phenyl-method were evaluated: addition of a ferric nitrate solution before extraction, application of an alkaline wash step, and use of a second SPE-cartridge, either a NH2-column or a florisil column. A more efficient sample clean-up was achieved by applying the extract after extraction on the phenyl column and after dilution with chloroform, onto a NH2-column (average ME%: 53%). In addition, applying a post-column split (1:5), further reduced matrix effects (average ME%: 65%). Labelled internal standards are the best way to tackle matrix effects, but no such internal standards were commercially available for the analytes of interest. The thorough search and application of four internal standards (structural analogues) was beneficial and compensates the matrix effect partially (average ME%: 83%). In an attempt to reduce the analysis time Speedisk phenyl columns were applied. Under these conditions matrix effects decreased even more while recoveries were between 91 and 109%. Different kinds of surface water samples were analyzed, and different matrix effects were observed. For this reason, standard addition will be used to perform quantitative analysis.

Abstract
Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor with a number of pharmacokinetic drug interactions due to interference with cytochrome P450. Some studies show absence of relevant interaction between omeprazole and cyclosporine, but little is known about possible interactions between omeprazole and tacrolimus. In vitro studies suggest such interference, but no clinical data are available so far. We assessed interactions between omeprazole and tacrolimus among patients fulfilling two criteria: (1) renal allograft recipients receiving immunosuppression based on tacrolimus and acid-related disorder prophylaxis with omeprazole 20 mg/d since the day of the transplant procedure and (2) stopped omeprazole when it was considered unnecessary. Fifty-one transplant recipients received concomitant immunosuppression with MMF-prednisone (n = 47) or azathioprine-prednisone (n = 1), or rapamycin-prednisone (n = 2) or only prednisone (n = 1). omeprazole was stopped after 6.2 +/- 3 months of treatment. Tacrolimus doses and levels were recorded during 3 outpatient visits before omeprazole withdrawal (Pre3/Pre2/Pre1), at the withdrawal visit (Susp), and at 3 visits after withdrawal (Pos1/Pos2/Pos3). Weight gain was significant (72.5 +/- 13 kg Pre3; 73.4 +/- 13 kg Susp; 74 +/- 12.9 kg Pos3, P < .0001) and serum creatinine (SCr) decreased (1.70 +/- 0.49 mg/dL Pre3; 1.63 + 0.49 Susp; 1.58 +/- 0.48 Pos3, P < .0001). The progressive decrease in tacrolimus doses and levels was significant (ANOVA including the 7 visits <0.01 in all cases); whereas the level/dose ratio remained constant. Tacrolimus doses and levels continued a slow, progressive and significant decrease without any relevant change between visits during on versus off omeprazole. This clinical-analytical study supported the conclusion that an omeprazole-tacrolimus interaction is not clinically relevant. Despite possible competition or interaction at the molecular level, clinical management was not significantly affected in renal allograft recipients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the inhibitory effect of a novel proton pump inhibitor (PPI), tenatoprazole 40 mg once daily, with esomeprazole 40 mg once daily on intragastric acidity. METHODS A randomized, investigator-blind, two-way, crossover study was conducted in 30 healthy Helicobacter pylori negative male volunteers. Tenatoprazole 40 mg or esomeprazole 40 mg was administered once daily for 7 consecutive days with a 4-wk washout period between treatments. Ambulatory 24-h intragastric pH was recorded at baseline, after 7 days' treatment, and 3 and 5 days after treatment was stopped. RESULTS At presumed steady-state (day 7), median 24-h pH values were 5.02 and 4.79 for tenatoprazole and esomeprazole, respectively. There was a significant difference between tenatoprazole and esomeprazole during the nocturnal period when mean pH was 4.64 +/- 0.67 versus 3.61 +/- 0.90, respectively (p < 0.0001), as well as a significantly higher mean percentage of time with pH >4 on tenatoprazole (72.5 +/- 14.9 vs 62.2 +/- 13.6, p < 0.0001). The effect of tenatoprazole was still present 5 days after treatment withdrawal especially during the night-time. The mean area under the plasma concentration-time curve and elimination half-time was significantly higher in the tenatoprazole group as compared with the esomeprazole group. CONCLUSION Tenatoprazole 40 mg daily provides a prolonged duration of acid suppression and a shorter nocturnal acid breakthrough in healthy volunteers, even after stopping the drug. Thus, tenatoprazole may provide greater clinical efficacy for patients in whom a once daily PPI is ineffective. Further studies are indicated.

Abstract
The use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) has become widespread in children and infants for the management of paediatric acid-related disease. Pharmacokinetic profiles of only omeprazole and lansoprazole have been well characterised in children over 2 years of age with acid-related diseases. Few data have been recently published regarding the pharmacokinetics of pantoprazole in children, and none are available for rabeprazole or esomeprazole. The metabolism of PPI enantiomers has never been studied in the paediatric population. A one-compartment model best describes the pharmacokinetic behaviour of omeprazole, lansoprazole and pantoprazole in children, with important interindividual variability for each pharmacokinetic parameter. Like adults, PPIs are rapidly absorbed in children following oral administration; the mean time to reach maximum plasma concentration varies from 1 to 3 hours. Since these agents are acid labile, their oral formulations consist of capsules containing enteric-coated granules. No liquid formulation is available for any of the PPIs. Thus, for those patients unable to swallow capsules, extemporaneous liquid preparations for omeprazole and lansoprazole have been reported; however, neither the absolute nor the relative bioavailabilities of these oral formulations have been studied in children. Intravenous formulations are available for omeprazole (in Europe), lansoprazole and pantoprazole. PPIs are rapidly metabolised in children, with short elimination half-lives of around 1 hour, similar to that reported for adults. All PPIs are extensively metabolised by the liver, primarily by cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms CYP2C19 and CYP3A4, to inactive metabolites, with little unchanged drug excreted in the urine. Similar to that seen in adults, the absolute bioavailability of omeprazole increases with repeated dosing in children; this phenomenon is thought to be due to a combination of decreased first-pass elimination and reduced systemic clearance. The apparent clearance (CL/F) of omeprazole, lansoprazole and pantoprazole appears to be faster for children than for adults. A higher metabolic capacity in children as well as differences in the extent of PPI bioavailability are most likely responsible for this finding. This may partly account for the need in children for variable and sometimes considerably greater doses of PPIs, on a per kilogram basis, than for adults to achieve similar plasma concentrations. Furthermore, no studies have been able to demonstrate a statistically significant correlation between age and pharmacokinetic parameters among children. Despite the small number of very young infants studied, there is some evidence for reduced PPI metabolism in newborns. The limited paediatric data regarding the impact of CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism on PPI metabolism are similar to those reported for adults, with poor metabolisers having 6- to 10-fold higher area under the concentration-time curve values compared with extensive metabolisers. Finally, because a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship exists for PPIs, the significant interindividual variability in their disposition may partly explain the wide range of therapeutic doses used in children. Further studies are needed to better define the pharmacokinetics of PPIs in children <2 years of age.

Abstract
A sensitive and selective HPLC method with UV detection (290 nm) was developed and validated for quantitation of pantoprazole, proton-pump inhibitor, in human plasma. Following a single-step liquid-liquid extraction with methyl tert-butyl ether/diethyl ether (70/30, v/v), the analyte and internal standard (zonisamide) were separated using an isocratic mobile phase of 10mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.0)/acetonitrile (61/39, v/v) on reverse phase Waters symmetry C18 column. The lower limit of quantitation was 20 ng/mL, with a relative standard deviation of less than 4%. A linear range of 20-5000 ng/mL was established. This HPLC method was validated with between-batch and within-batch precision of 1.3-3.2% and 0.7-3.3%, respectively. The between-batch and within-batch bias was -0.5 to 8.2 % and -2.5 to 12.1%, respectively. This validated method is sensitive and repeatable enough to be used in pharmacokinetic studies.

Abstract
Gastric acid is pathogenic in many gastrointestinal disorders, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease and peptic ulcer disease. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the antisecretory drugs of choice for serious acid-related conditions. Ample recent data exist to explicate virtually every aspect of the clinical management of acid-peptic disorders with PPIs. Although all PPIs are effective, there are some differences in their clinical performance, particularly in terms of the degree and speed of gastric acid suppression. Rapid onset of acid suppression may be particularly relevant to newer approaches, such as 'on-demand' or intermittent therapy for non-erosive reflux disease and shorter regimens for Helicobacter pylori eradication. New data, in addition, highlight differences in PPI metabolism that may both affect efficacy and predispose patients to drug-drug interactions. PPI selection should involve the awareness of these issues.

Abstract
A simple, sensitive and selective HPLC method with UV detection (284 nm) was developed and validated for quantitation of rabeprazole in human plasma, the newest addition to the group of proton-pump inhibitors. Following solid-phase extraction using Waters Oasistrade mark SPE cartridges, the analyte and internal standard (Pantoprazole) were separated using an isocratic mobile phase of 5 mM ammonium acetate buffer (pH adjusted to 7.4 with sodium hydroxide solution)/acetonitrile/methanol (45/20/35, v/v) on reverse phase Waters symmetry C(18) column. The lower limit of quantitation was 20 ng/mL, with a relative standard deviation of less than 8%. A linear range of 20-1000 ng/mL was established. This HPLC method was validated with between- and within-batch precision of 2.4-7.2% and 2.2-7.3%, respectively. The between- and within-batch bias was -1.7 to 2.6% and -2.6 to 2.1%, respectively. Frequently coadministered drugs did not interfere with the described methodology. Stability of rabeprazole in plasma was excellent, with no evidence of degradation during sample processing (autosampler) and 3 months storage in a freezer. This validated method is sensitive, simple and repeatable enough to be used in pharmacokinetic studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to examine the pharmacokinetics of orally administered omeprazole in healthy adult Jordanian men. METHOD Plasma concentrations of omeprazole were measured over a 12 h period after administration of a single oral dose of 40 mg omeprazole (Losec), AstraZeneca, UK). Subjects were healthy adult Jordanian men age 18-38 (24 +/- 4, mean +/- SD). The pharmacokinetic parameters were derived from the plasma concentration-time profiles for AUC(0-t), AUC(0-inf), C(max), t(max), t(1/2e) and K(e). RESULTS The pharmacokinetic of omeprazole were scattered over a wide range. The median AUC(0-inf) was 784.86 +/- 1182.88 (ng.h/ml), and the median C(max) was 521 +/- 354 (ng/ml) (median +/- SD). In general, most subjects showed normal distribution (approximately 90%). Some subjects (10%) did show very high AUC and C(max) compared with the reported AUC and C(max) levels. These subjects had higher half-lives and lower rates of elimination. CONCLUSION Significant difference in the pharmacokinetics of omeprazole after a single dose administration was noted. Approximately 10% of the study group showed very high omeprazole plasma levels and AUCs. Differences in the pharmacokinetics might be due to differences in the genetic make-up of subjects.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors have changed our approach to gastric acid-related diseases. They are much more potent acid inhibitors than H2-antagonists and exhibit a sophisticated mechanism of action. The present review analyses the general pharmacology of proton pump inhibitors and differentiates the specific characteristics of the various compounds that belong to this family. Special emphasis has been placed in describing the clinical implications of such differences and the potential importance for adverse effects.

Abstract
During the past two decades, enormous changes occurred in the management of gastric acid-related diseases. First, the histamine2-receptor antagonists were introduced, offering patients the first single-agent therapy that effectively reduced gastric acid secretion. Proton pump inhibitors became widely available in the early 1990s, and they generally appeared to be superior to the histamine2-receptor antagonists in acid-suppressing activity, symptom control and healing. Most physicians now use proton pump inhibitors as first-line treatment for many patients with acid-peptic disorders, including erosive gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), nonerosive reflux disease (NERD) and duodenal and gastric ulcers. Although proton pump inhibitors are often thought to be interchangeable, some differences have emerged in their pharmacological properties, which may be reflected in some aspects of clinical efficacy. Such differences include potency, speed of onset and duration of pH 'holding times'. Helicobacter pylori has now been recognized as an important factor in the pathogenesis of acid-peptic disorders. It is clear that H. pylori eradication can dramatically reduce the chronicity of gastric and duodenal ulcers, and accepted therapeutic regimens for H. pylori eradication now include proton pump inhibitors and two or more antibiotics. Although all accepted proton pump inhibitor-based 'triple therapies' are roughly equivalent in efficacy, there is now a shortened regimen available that will potentially enhance compliance and decrease cost. This review examines the relative advantages of proton pump inhibitors vs. histamine2-receptor antagonists in the context of acid suppression and in various gastric acid-related diseases. A brief overview presents the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of the proton pump inhibitors with particular attention paid to rabeprazole, one of the newer drugs in its class.
