Simadibrata DM, Lesmana E, Lee YY. Experimental drugs for erosive esophagitis: what is in the clinical development pipeline? Expert Opin Investig Drugs 2024. [PMID: 39152730 DOI: 10.1080/13543784.2024.2393868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2023] [Revised: 08/05/2024] [Accepted: 08/14/2024] [Indexed: 08/19/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) has revolutionized the treatment of erosive esophagitis (EE) in the past few decades. However, roughly 30-40% of patients, especially with severe EE (Los Angeles Grade C/D), remain poorly responsive to this medication. Novel drugs have been formulated and/or repurposed to address this problem. AREAS COVERED This review highlights novel drugs that have been investigated for use in EE, such as mucosal protectants, prokinetics, transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation (TLESR) reducers, novel PPIs, and the new potassium-competitive acid blocker (PCAB). Studies have demonstrated that PCAB has promising results (efficacy and safety) compared to PPI for the healing of EE, especially in severe diseases. EXPERT OPINION PCAB has gained interest in recent years, with pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics properties surpassing PPI. Although recent data on PCABs, which comprised mainly of Vonoprazan, have shown promising results, more randomized controlled trials for other PCAB drugs are needed to elucidate and confirm the superiority of this drug class to PPI, the current first-line treatment of EE.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the Efficacy of Sustained-Release Formula of Mosapride-Plus-Esomeprazole Combination Therapy to Esomeprazole Monotherapy in Patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11071965. [PMID: 35407572 PMCID: PMC8999938 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11071965] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2022] [Revised: 03/26/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
We aimed to evaluate whether adding a sustained-release (SR) formula of mosapride to proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) would be more effective in controlling symptoms than PPI alone in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Sixty patients with heartburn and/or regurgitation were randomly assigned to two groups: mosapride SR 15 mg combined with esomeprazole 20 mg once daily (ME group) and esomeprazole 20 mg once daily alone (E group). The primary endpoint was the complete-resolution rate of GERD symptoms after eight-week medication, and the secondary endpoints were the complete-resolution rate of GERD symptoms after four-week medication, symptom-improvement rates ≥ 50% after four- and eight-week medication, and change in reflux-disease-questionnaire (RDQ) and GERD-health-related quality-of-life (GERD-HRQL) scores from baseline at four- and eight-week medication. No significant differences in complete-symptom-resolution rates at eight weeks and four weeks or in the changes in RDQ and GERD-HRQL scores from baseline at four- and eight-week medication were observed between the ME and E groups. The symptom-improvement rate of ≥50% after four and eight weeks was comparable between both groups. Adding mosapride SR to esomeprazole in patients with GERD provides no additional benefits in controlling GERD symptoms.

Abstract
Esophageal hypomotility in general and especially ineffective esophageal motility according to the Chicago criteria of primary motility disorders of the esophagus, is one of the most frequently diagnosed motility disorders on high resolution manometry and results in a large number of patients visiting gastroenterologists. Most patients with esophageal hypomotility present with gastroesophageal reflux symptoms or dysphagia. The clinical relevance of the motility pattern, however, is not well established but seems to be correlated with disease severity in reflux patients. The correlation with dysphagia is less clear. Prokinetic agents are commonly prescribed as first line pharmacologic intervention to target esophageal smooth muscle contractility and improve esophageal motor functions. However, the beneficial effects of these medications are limited and only confined to some specific drugs. Serotonergic agents, including buspirone, mosapride and prucalopride have been shown to improve parameters of esophageal motility although the effect on symptoms is less clear. Understanding on the complex correlation between esophageal hypomotility and esophageal symptoms as well as the limited evidence of prokinetic agents is necessary for physicians to appropriately manage patients with Ineffective Esophageal Motility (IEM).

A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Control Trials: Combination Treatment With Proton Pump Inhibitor Plus Prokinetic for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. J Neurogastroenterol Motil 2021; 27:165-175. [PMID: 33795539 PMCID: PMC8026378 DOI: 10.5056/jnm20161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2020] [Revised: 12/08/2020] [Accepted: 12/28/2020] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Background/Aims Prokinetics can be used for treating patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), who exhibit suboptimal response to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment. We conducted a systematic review to assess the potential benefits of combination treatment with PPI plus prokinetics in GERD. Methods We searched PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and EMBASE for publications regarding randomized controlled trials comparing combination treatment of PPI plus prokinetics to PPI monotherapy with respect to global symptom improvement in GERD (until February 2020). The primary outcome was an absence or global symptom improvement in GERD. Adverse events and quality of life (QoL) scores were evaluated as secondary outcomes using a random effects model. Quality of evidence was rated using Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE). Results This meta-analysis included 16 studies involving 1446 participants (719 in the PPI plus prokinetics group and 727 in the PPI monotherapy group). The PPI plus prokinetics treatment resulted in a significant reduction in global symptoms of GERD regardless of the prokinetic type, refractoriness, and ethnicity. Additionally, treatment with PPI plus prokinetics for at least 4 weeks was found to be more beneficial than PPI monotherapy with respect to global symptom improvement. However, the QoL scores were not improved with PPI plus prokinetics treatment. Adverse events observed in response to PPI plus prokinetics treatment did not differ from those observed with PPI monotherapy. Conclusions Combination of prokinetics with PPI treatment is more effective than PPI alone in GERD patients. Further high-quality trials with large sample sizes are needed to verify the effects based on prokinetic type.

Abstract
Pazopanib is a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which is indicated for use in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma or advanced soft-tissue sarcomas. Although rare, interstitial lung disease has been reported as among the adverse sequelae of pazopanib therapy. We report the case of a 75-year-old man who developed interstitial lung disease during treatment with pazopanib for renal cell carcinoma with multiple lung metastases. The patient presented with dry cough and new-onset fatigue 3 months after initiation of pazopanib. He had mild hypoxia with bilateral ground-glass opacities on chest CT. He was treated with antibiotics for presumptive pneumonia, but his respiratory status rapidly deteriorated, and he required non-invasive positive pressure ventilation. He recovered on discontinuation of pazopanib and systemic steroids. Clinicians should recognise that interstitial lung disease can occur in patients who are undergoing treatment with pazopanib.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functional dyspepsia (FD) and non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) are gastrointestinal disorders that often overlap. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study, the effects of adding acotiamide to treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPI) were investigated in FD patients with heartburn who failed PPI treatment, corresponding to PPI-resistant NERD. METHODS The subjects included 16 FD patients with heartburn who failed PPI treatment, and they were administered acotiamide or a placebo for 28 days. After suspending medication for 28 days, the trial drug and placebo were crossed over and administered for 28 days. Before the study began and after each administration period, high-resolution impedance manometry (HRiM) was performed, and the modified frequency scale for the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (FSSG) questionnaire was administered. KEY RESULTS Postprandial fullness in the FD assessment and all modified FSSG items were significantly lower in the acotiamide group than in the placebo group. Esophagogastric junction pressure was significantly higher in the acotiamide group. The distal contractile integral (DCI) pressure and the highest DCI pressure both increased significantly in the acotiamide group. Moreover, in the acotiamide group, the frequency of abnormal primary peristalsis decreased to normal levels; complete bolus transit (CBT), an indicator of esophageal clearance, increased; and CBT time decreased. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES Acotiamide was considered to improve upper gastrointestinal functions not only in the stomach but also in the esophagus. Adding acotiamide to PPI therapy appears to improve upper abdominal symptoms in FD patients with heartburn who failed PPI treatment.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to compare the effect of omeprazole plus mosapride combination therapy with that of omeprazole monotherapy in proton pump inhibitor (PPI) refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients. Patients and methods Patients were eligible to participate in this study if they had experienced symptoms of heartburn and/or regurgitation more than twice weekly and were unresponsive to at least 8 weeks of a standard dose of PPI. A total of 44 consecutive patients were randomized to receive omeprazole 20 mg once daily plus either mosapride 5 mg or placebo three times daily for 4 weeks. We evaluated their clinical symptoms by means of frequency scale for symptoms of GERD (FSSG) questionnaires completed at the beginning and the end of the study. The primary outcome was to compare changes in FSSG scores between treatment groups during the study period. Results Most of the study population had non-erosive reflux disease (91.0% in the combination group and 81.8% in the control group). The minority of patients had Los Angeles grade A or B erosive esophagitis (9% in the combination group and 18.2% in the control group). None of the patients had Los Angeles grade C or D erosive esophagitis. FSSG total scores significantly decreased both in the combination group and the control group, with no significant differences in improvement between the groups (−8.00±7.18 for the combination group versus −5.68±6.29 for the control group, p=0.129). As a secondary outcome, our data showed that the effect of combination therapy on a number of symptom-free days (heartburn-free days, regurgitation-free days, and night-time heartburn-free days) was not superior to PPI monotherapy. Conclusion Combining mosapride for four weeks with a standard dose of PPI is not more effective than PPI alone in patients with PPI-refractory GERD.

Abstract
Secondary peristalsis contributes to the clearance of the refluxate from the esophagus. Acute administration of 5-hydroxytryptamine 4 (5-HT4 ) receptors agonist, mosapride or esophageal infusion of hydrochloric acid (HCl) facilitates secondary peristalsis. The aim of this study was to determine whether esophageal acid infusion and administration of mosapride had different effects on secondary peristalsis. Secondary peristalsis was performed with esophageal distension with rapid and slow air injections in 16 healthy subjects. We performed two separate sessions with HCl (0.1 N) and 40 mg oral mosapride to compare their influence on secondary peristaltic parameters. The threshold volume of secondary peristalsis was significantly lower with HCl infusion than mosapride (P = 0.01) by slow air injections. The threshold volume to generate secondary peristalsis was significantly lower with HCl infusion than mosapride (P = 0.002) by rapid air injections. More secondary peristalsis was trigged by rapid air injections after HCl infusion than mosapride (P = 0.003). Infusion of HCl or mosapride administration has similar effects on peristaltic wave amplitude and duration of primary and secondary peristalsis. Acute esophageal acid infusion can induce greater mechanosensitivity to distension-induced secondary peristalsis than 5-HT4 receptors agonist mosapride. The data suggest that acid-sensitive afferents are more likely to contribute to sensory modulation of esophageal secondary peristalsis; however, the motility aspects of secondary peristalsis are comparable between acute esophageal acidification and 5-HT4 receptors activation via mosapride.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to prepare a mosapride citrate-resin (Amberlite® IRP 88) complex and orally fast-disintegrating tablets of the resin complex. The resinate complex of mosapride-Amberlite® IRP 88, mass ratio 2:1, was prepared in an ethanol-water solution. The effects of alcohol concentration, temperature, and pH of the solution on complex formation were evaluated. The complex physicochemical properties were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Orally disintegrating tablets were prepared by direct compression and were optimized using the response surface method. Optimized orally fast-disintegrating tablets disintegrated within 18 s. The pH dependence of mosapride release from the tablet decreased drug dissolution in simulated saliva, whereas it promptly released in the pH 1.0 solution. The data reported herein clearly demonstrate that tablets containing the mosapride-Amberlite® IRP 88 complex for oral disintegration could be particularly useful for patients with swallowing difficulties.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to develop a novel and more efficient platform for sublingual drug delivery using mosapride citrate (MSP) as a model drug. The engineering of this delivery system had two stages, the first stage was tuning of MSP physicochemical properties by complexation with pure phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylinositol enriched soybean lecithin to form MSP-phospholipid complex (MSP-PLCP). Changes in physicochemical properties were assessed and the optimum MSP-PLCP formula was then used for formulation into a flushing resistant platform using two mucoadhesive polymers; sodium alginates and sodium carboxymethylcellulose at different concentrations. Design of experiment approach was used to characterize and optimize the formulated flushing resistant platform. The optimized formulation was then used in a comparative pharmacokinetics study with the market formulation in human volunteers. Results showed a marked change in MSP physicochemical properties of MSP-PLCP compared to MSP. Addition of mucoadhesive polymers to flushing resistant platform at an optimum concentration balanced between desired mucoadhesive properties and a reasonable drug release rate. The optimized formulation showed significantly a superior bioavailability in humans when compared to the market sublingual product. Finally, the novel developed sublingual flushing resistant platform offers a very promising and efficient tool to extend the use of sublingual route and widen its applications.

Abstract
We herein report two cases of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) due to mosapride. Case 1: A 78-year-old man was admitted with elevated transaminase levels. The cessation of mosapride led to the improvement of elevated liver enzyme levels. Case 2: A 54-year-old man was admitted with jaundice. Mosapride was discontinued immediately, and methylprednisolone was administered for acute liver failure. The patient's data showed improvement, and he was discharged on Day 32. In both cases, mosapride gave a positive response to a drug-induced lymphocyte stimulation test (DLST), and the patient's score based on the criteria for DILI was "highly probable".

Abstract
Objective Acute administration of 5-hydroxytryptamine4 (5-HT4) receptor agonist, mosapride or esophageal infusion of the transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor-1 (TRPV1) agonist capsaicin promotes secondary peristalsis. We aimed to investigate whether acute esophageal instillation of capsaicin-containing red pepper sauce or administration of mosapride has different effects on the physiological characteristics of secondary peristalsis. Methods Secondary peristalsis was induced with mid-esophageal air injections in 14 healthy subjects. We compared the effects on secondary peristalsis subsequent to capsaicin-containing red pepper sauce (pure capsaicin, 0.84 mg) or 40 mg oral mosapride. Results The threshold volume for generating secondary peristalsis during slow air distensions was significantly decreased with capsaicin infusion compared to mosapride (11.6 ± 1.0 vs. 14.1 ± 0.8 mL, P = 0.02). The threshold volume required to produce secondary peristalsis during rapid air distension was also significantly decreased with capsaicin infusion (4.6 ± 0.5 vs. 5.2 ± 0.6 mL, P = 0.02). Secondary peristalsis was noted more frequently in response to rapid air distension after capsaicin infusion than mosapride (80% [60–100%] vs. 65% [5–100%], P = 0.04). Infusion of capsaicin or mosapride administration didn’t change any parameters of primary or secondary peristalsis. Conclusions Esophageal infusion with capsaicin-containing red pepper sauce suspension does create greater mechanosensitivity as measured by secondary peristalsis than 5-HT4 receptor agonist mosapride. Capsaicin-sensitive afferents appear to be more involved in the sensory modulation of distension-induced secondary peristalsis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) is a functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorder with an unknown etiology. A number of the drugs tested for IBS-C have also been applied to chronic constipation and chronic idiopathic constipation. Unfortunately, due to severe adverse effects, many drugs envisioned for IBS-C had been withdrawn from the market. Nevertheless, a number of potential new agents for this indication are now under development. AREAS COVERED The following review describes the most recently developed agents in preclinical as well as Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical studies. Information was obtained from published literature, abstracts and the latest results found in Clinicaltrial.gov database. The authors put a special interest on glucagon-like peptide 1 analogue, bile acid modulators, serotonergic agents, guanylate cyclase C and cannabinoid antagonists. EXPERT OPINION To enter the market, a newly-developed drug has to meet several criteria, such as good bioavailability or the absence of drug-related adverse events. Taking into account constipation and abdominal pain as the main symptoms in IBS-C, a novel successful drug is usually able to improve both at the same time. Four out of fifteen investigational drugs described in this paper belong to the serotonergic family and have a good prognosis to reach the market; still, more long-term clinical studies are warranted.

[PMID: 26362795 PMCID: PMC4567836 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-015-0346-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2015] [Accepted: 09/07/2015] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has been increasing worldwide, with proton pump inhibitor (PPI) administration the current mainstay therapy for affected individuals. However, PPI efficacy is insufficient especially for non-erosive reflux disease. Although it has been reported that prokinetic drugs improve GERD, their effects on esophageal function remain to be clearly investigated. In the present study, we evaluated the direct effects of acotiamide, a novel prokinetic agent for the treatment of functional dyspepsia, on esophageal motor function and gastroesophageal reflux. Methods Ten adult healthy volunteers (average age 24 years, range 20–36 years; 7 males, 3 females) were enrolled. Esophageal body peristaltic contractions and lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure with and without acotiamide administration were recorded using high resolution manometry using a cross-over protocol. Total and acidic reflux levels for 24 h and during the postprandial period were also recorded using a multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH monitoring system. Data were analyzed blind by one observer. Results Acotiamide at a standard dose of 300 mg/day did not significantly stimulate esophageal motor function. Although the frequency of swallows with weak contraction tended to decrease with acotiamide administration, the difference as compared to no administration was not statistically significant. In addition, the drug neither decreased total or postprandial gastroesophageal acid/non-acid reflux events nor accelerated esophageal clearance time. Conclusions Acotiamide, a novel gastrointestinal motility modulator, at a standard dose did not significantly affect esophageal motor functions or gastroesophageal reflux in healthy adults. Additional investigations with GERD patients are necessary to elucidate its clinical significance. Trial registration This study was registered on 1st August 2013 with the University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN) clinical trials registry, as number: UMIN000011260.

Abstract
Ineffective esophageal motility (IEM) is the most frequently encountered esophageal motility disorder. Patients may present with a variety of symptoms, such as dysphagia, heartburn, odynophagia, and regurgitation. Over the past years, the landscape of esophageal motility testing has been revolutionized; however, our current treatment options for IEM still remain limited. Previous studies have suggested that buspirone, a serotonin receptor agonist, enhances esophageal peristalsis and lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function. Recent work provides the first evidence that buspirone may influence LES resting pressure in patients with systemic sclerosis. Future research should evaluate whether the beneficial effects of buspirone also apply to the broad clinical entity of esophageal dysphagia patients with IEM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of the prokinetic drug mosapride on esophageal motor activity vary at standard doses. In addition to esophageal motor activities, compliance of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) is important for prevention of gastroesophageal reflux. However, the effects of mosapride on EGJ compliance have not been reported. Here, we investigated the effects of high-dose mosapride on esophageal motor activities and EGJ compliance. METHODS Nine healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study. Peristaltic esophageal contraction and lower esophageal sphincter pressures before and after administration of 40 mg mosapride were examined by high resolution esophageal manometry. Esophageal compliance was also investigated by intra-esophageal impedance planimetry (EndoFLIP(®)). RESULTS High-dose mosapride augmented peristaltic contractions, especially in the distal esophageal segments (P < 0.05). The mean resting lower esophageal sphincter pressure was elevated from 25.0 mmHg before administration to 28.9 mmHg after (P < 0.05). In addition, mosapride significantly reduced EGJ compliance (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Mosapride at 40 mg augmented esophageal motor activities and reduced EGJ compliance in healthy volunteers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated whether the prokinetic activity of mosapride, a 5-hydroxytryptamine 4 receptor agonist, in combination with proton pump inhibitor (PPI) would ameliorate symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in Japanese patients. METHODS Patients who experienced reflux symptoms more than twice weekly were eligible for this study. In all, 60 patients were randomized to receive mosapride 5 mg thrice daily combined with omeprazole 10 mg once daily (GO group), or omeprazole alone (O group) for 4 weeks. The patients completed the frequency scale for the symptoms of GERD (FSSG) at the beginning and the end of the study. The primary outcome compared changes in the FSSG reflux-related symptom (RS) score between treatment groups during the study period. RESULTS The FSSG RS scores significantly decreased both in the GO group and the O group, with no differences in improvement between the groups (-5.86 for the GO group vs -4.89 for the O group, P = 0.49). In non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) patients the improvement was significantly lower than that in erosive GERD patients (-4.00 vs -7.67, P = 0.02). However, the addition of mosapride was effective in subgroup analyses of specific symptoms, such as burping. CONCLUSIONS Combining mosapride with PPI provided no additional amelioration of reflux symptoms compared to PPI alone. Both regimens provided less relief from reflux symptoms in NERD than in erosive GERD patients. The addition of mosapride ameliorated reflux in patients with symptoms like burping.

Abstract
The purpose of this work is to use biorelevant media to evaluate the robustness of a poorly water soluble weakly basic drug to variations along the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) after incorporation in liquisolid compacts and to assess the success of these models in predicting the in vivo performance. Liquisolid tablets were prepared using mosapride citrate as a model drug. A factorial design experiment was used to study the effect of three factors, namely: drug concentration at two levels (5% and 10%), carriers at three levels (avicel, mannitol and lactose) and powder excipients ratio (R) of the coating material at two levels (25 and 30). The in vitro dissolution media utilized were 0.1 N HCl, hypoacidic stomach model and a transfer model simulating the transfer from the stomach to the intestine. All compacts released above 95% of drug after 10 min in 0.1 N HCl. In the hypoacidic model, the compacts with R 30 were superior compared to R 25, where they released >90% of drug after 10 min compared to 80% for R 25. After the transfer of the optimum compacts from Simulated gastric fluid fast (SGFfast) to fasted state simulated intestinal fluid, slight turbidity appeared after 30 min, and the amount of drug dissolved slightly decreased from 96.91% to 90.59%. However, after the transfer from SGFfast to fed state simulated intestinal fluid, no turbidity or precipitation occurred throughout time of the test (60 min). In vivo pharmacokinetic study in human volunteers proved the success of the in vitro models with enhancement of the oral bioavailability (121.20%) compared to the commercial product.

Abstract
Medical therapy remains the most popular treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Whilst interest in drug development for GERD has declined over the last few years primarily due to the conversion of most proton pump inhibitor (PPI)'s to generic and over the counter compounds, there are still numerous areas of unmet needs in GERD. Drug development has been focused on potent histamine type 2 receptor antagonist's, extended release PPI's, PPI combination, potassium-competitive acid blockers, transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation reducers, prokinetics, mucosal protectants and esophageal pain modulators. It is likely that the aforementioned compounds will be niched for specific areas of unmet need in GERD, rather than compete with the presently available anti-reflux therapies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. Ineffective esophageal motility is frequently found in patients with gastroesophageal reflux diseases. Secondary peristalsis contributes to esophageal acid clearance. Mosapride improves gastrointestinal (GI) motility by acting on 5-hydroxytrypatamine4 receptors. The authors aimed to evaluate the effect of mosapride on secondary peristalsis in patients with ineffective esophageal motility. MATERIAL AND METHODS. After recording primary peristalsis baseline, secondary peristalsis was stimulated by slowly and rapidly injecting mid-esophageal air in 18 patients. Two separate experiments were randomly performed with 40 mg oral mosapride or placebo. RESULTS. Mosapride had no effect on the threshold volume of secondary peristalsis during slow air distension (9.8 ± 0.97 vs. 10.2 ± 1.0 mL; p = 0.84), but decreased the threshold volume during rapid air distension (4.1 ± 0.2 vs. 4.6 ± 0.3 mL; p = 0.001). The efficiency of secondary peristalsis during rapid air distension increased with mosapride (70% [40-95%]) compared with placebo (60% [10-85%]; p = 0.0003). Mosapride had no effect on the amplitudes of distal pressure wave of secondary peristalsis during slow (94.3 ± 9 vs. 101.9 ± 9.1 mmHg; p = 0.63) or rapid air distension (89.3 ± 9 vs. 95.2 ± 8.3 mmHg; p = 0.24). CONCLUSIONS. Mosapride improves esophageal sensitivity of secondary peristalsis by abrupt air distension but has limited effect on the motor properties of secondary peristalsis in ineffective esophageal motility patients. Despite its well-known prokinetic effect, mosapride enhances the efficiency of secondary peristalsis in patients with ineffective esophageal motility through augmenting esophageal sensitivity instead of motility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aspiration pneumonia is an emerging problem in patients receiving gastrostomy feeding. This study is designed to clarify the therapeutic effects of mosapride citrate and lansoprazole for prevention of aspiration pneumonia in patients receiving gastrostomy feeding. METHODS The study subjects were 119 patients with dysphasia who required gastrostomy feeding. They were randomly assigned to the control (without medication), lansoprazole (15 mg, 1/day), and mosapride (5 mg, 3/day) groups. The number of days with fever (≥37.8 °C), vomiting, and antibiotics administration, as well as the occurrence of pneumonia were investigated during the 6-month observation period. RESULTS The incidence of pneumonia during the observation period was significantly lower in the mosapride group as compared to the control (7/38 vs. 16/40, p = 0.038) and lansoprazole (vs. 20/41, p = 0.005) groups. The mosapride group also showed a significant decrease in days with fever and antibiotics administration as compared to the other groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that the presence of hiatal hernia was a significant risk factor and administration of mosapride was a significant preventive factor for pneumonia. CONCLUSION Mosapride has a preventive effect on occurrence of pneumonia in patients receiving gastrostomy feeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients who are unable to eat or drink after stroke may receive percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) or nasogastric tube feeding. Although the most common serious complication is well known to be aspiration pneumonia, the role of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) has not been fully assessed. The aim of this study was to examine, by means of 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring, whether GER is related to aspiration pneumonia and whether the size and laterality of brain lesions influence GER. METHODS Sixteen stroke patients were examined using a Degitrapper pH400 (Medtronic Japan Co., Tokyo, Japan) and Zinetics 24ME multiuse pH catheter (Medtronic). All patients had stroke lesions in the territory of the left or right middle cerebral artery that were confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and were receiving PEG or nasogastric feeding. Stroke volume was measured with MRIcron software. RESULTS Nine patients (56%) were diagnosed with GER, and 10 (63%) developed aspiration pneumonia after enteral feeding. The rate of aspiration pneumonia was significantly higher in patients with GER (88.9%) than in those without GER (42.9%; P = .04). Patients with left hemispheric lesions had a significantly higher incidence of acid reflex than those with right lesions (116 ± 105 vs 13 ± 17; P = .04). There were no significant differences in total time of acid reflux or mean pH value between patients with left and right hemispheric lesions. The lesion volume had no significant effect on any of 3 indices of GER. CONCLUSIONS GER is associated with aspiration pneumonia and occurs more often in patients with stroke lesions in the left hemisphere.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of adding a prokinetic agent to proton pump inhibitors (PPI) for the treatment of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) disease. A prospective, randomized open trial comparing lansoprazole plus itopride to lansoprazole single therapy was performed for 12 weeks. Sixty-four patients with a reflux finding score (RFS) >7 and a reflux symptom index (RSI) >13 were enrolled and received either lansoprazole 30 mg once daily with itopride 50 mg three times daily or lansoprazole 30 mg once daily for 12 weeks. RSI and RFS were completed at baseline, after 6 weeks, and after 12 weeks. During the treatment period, RSI and RFS were significantly improved compared with the pretreatment scores in both study groups. Reductions of total RSI and globus symptom were significantly higher in the lansoprazole plus itopride group compared to the lansoprazole group. In the RFS, however, there were no significant differences between the two groups. In conclusion, itopride in addition to PPI did not show any superior RFS improvement compared to PPI single therapy, but was helpful in speeding up relief of reflux symptoms in LPR patients. Thus, itopride may be considered as the secondary additive agent in the PPI treatment of LPR patients.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is often associated with decreased upper gastrointestinal motility, and ghrelin is an appetite-stimulating hormone known to increase gastrointestinal motility. We investigated whether ghrelin signaling is impaired in rats with GERD and studied its involvement in upper gastrointestinal motility. GERD was induced surgically in Wistar rats. Rats were injected intravenously with ghrelin (3 nmol/rat), after which gastric emptying, food intake, gastroduodenal motility, and growth hormone (GH) release were investigated. Furthermore, plasma ghrelin levels and the expression of ghrelin-related genes in the stomach and hypothalamus were examined. In addition, we administered ghrelin to GERD rats treated with rikkunshito, a Kampo medicine, and examined its effects on gastroduodenal motility. GERD rats showed a considerable decrease in gastric emptying, food intake, and antral motility. Ghrelin administration significantly increased gastric emptying, food intake, and antral and duodenal motility in sham-operated rats, but not in GERD rats. The effect of ghrelin on GH release was also attenuated in GERD rats, which had significantly increased plasma ghrelin levels and expression of orexigenic neuropeptide Y/agouti-related peptide mRNA in the hypothalamus. The number of ghrelin-positive cells in the gastric body decreased in GERD rats, but the expression of gastric preproghrelin and GH secretagogue receptor mRNA was not affected. However, when ghrelin was exogenously administered to GERD rats treated with rikkunshito, a significant increase in antral motility was observed. These results suggest that gastrointestinal dysmotility is associated with impaired ghrelin signaling in GERD rats and that rikkunshito restores gastrointestinal motility by improving the ghrelin response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The nonselective 5-HT(4) receptor agonists, cisapride and tegaserod have been associated with cardiovascular adverse events (AEs). AIM To perform a systematic review of the safety profile, particularly cardiovascular, of 5-HT(4) agonists developed for gastrointestinal disorders, and a nonsystematic summary of their pharmacology and clinical efficacy. METHODS Articles reporting data on cisapride, clebopride, prucalopride, mosapride, renzapride, tegaserod, TD-5108 (velusetrag) and ATI-7505 (naronapride) were identified through a systematic search of the Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase and Toxfile. Abstracts from UEGW 2006-2008 and DDW 2008-2010 were searched for these drug names, and pharmaceutical companies approached to provide unpublished data. RESULTS Retrieved articles on pharmacokinetics, human pharmacodynamics and clinical data with these 5-HT(4) agonists, are reviewed and summarised nonsystematically. Articles relating to cardiac safety and tolerability of these agents, including any relevant case reports, are reported systematically. Two nonselective 5-HT(4) agonists had reports of cardiovascular AEs: cisapride (QT prolongation) and tegaserod (ischaemia). Interactions with, respectively, the hERG cardiac potassium channel and 5-HT(1) receptor subtypes have been suggested to account for these effects. No cardiovascular safety concerns were reported for the newer, selective 5-HT(4) agonists prucalopride, velusetrag, naronapride, or for nonselective 5-HT(4) agonists with no hERG or 5-HT(1) affinity (renzapride, clebopride, mosapride). CONCLUSIONS 5-HT(4) agonists for GI disorders differ in chemical structure and selectivity for 5-HT(4) receptors. Selectivity for 5-HT(4) over non-5-HT(4) receptors may influence the agent's safety and overall risk-benefit profile. Based on available evidence, highly selective 5-HT(4) agonists may offer improved safety to treat patients with impaired GI motility.

Abstract
Background The ideal medication for acid-related diseases should have a rapid onset of action to promote hemostasis and cause efficient resolution of symptoms. The aim of our study was to comparatively investigate the inhibitory effect on gastric acid secretion of a single oral administration of omeprazole plus mosapride with that of omeprazole alone. Methods Ten Helicobacter pylori-negative male subjects participated in this randomized, two-way crossover study. Intragastric pH was monitored continuously for 6 hours after a single oral administration of omeprazole 20 mg or that of omeprazole 20 mg plus mosapride 5 mg (the omeprazole being administered one hour after the mosapride). Each administration was separated by a 7-days washout period. Results The average pH during the 6-hour period after administration of omeprazole 20 mg plus mosapride 5 mg was higher than that after administration of omeprazole 20 mg alone (median: 3.22 versus 4.21, respectively; p = 0.0247). Conclusions In H. pylori -negative healthy male subjects, an oral dose of omeprazole 20 mg plus mosapride 5 mg increased the intragastric pH more rapidly than omeprazole 20 mg alone.

Abstract
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD or GERD) is a very common disorder, and advancement in drug development over the years has markedly improved disease management. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) remain the mainstay of treatment for GERD due to their profound and consistent inhibitory effect on acid secretion. However, PPIs do not reduce the number of reflux events and do not provide long-term cure for GERD. In addition, although the safety profile of PPIs is excellent, recent population-based studies have suggested that long-term PPI use may be associated with a variety of adverse events. They include osteoporosis-related hip and spine fractures, community-acquired and nosocomial pneumonia, various enteric and non-enteric infections, fundic gland polyps and many others. Consequently, there is growing interest by patients and physicians alike in current, as well as future, non-PPI-related therapeutic strategies for GERD. This includes repositioning histamine H(2) receptor antagonists and prokinetics in our current GERD therapeutic algorithms and a resurgence of non-medical therapeutic modalities for GERD, such as anti-reflux surgery, endoscopic treatment, alternative and complementary medicine and psychological interventions. Furthermore, there will be renewed efforts in further developing new medical and non-medical therapeutic modalities for GERD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To seek a promising therapeutic regimen for proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-refractory patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after the standard PPI treatment, we compared the efficacies of rikkunshito (a Japanese traditional medication) combined with rabeprazole (RPZ) and a double dose of RPZ in a prospective randomized multicenter trial in Japanese PPI-refractory GERD patients. METHODS One hundred and four patients with GERD symptoms remaining after 4-week treatment with RPZ (10 mg/day) were randomly assigned to 4 weeks of either combination therapy [rikkunshito (7.5 g/day) with a standard dose of RPZ (10 mg/day)] or a double dose of RPZ (20 mg/day). The primary endpoint was the improvement rate, calculated based on the frequency scale for the symptoms of GERD (FSSG) before and after treatment. Subgroup analysis was also performed with respect to each subject's background factors such as reflux esophagitis (RE)/non-erosive GERD (NERD), age, gender, and body mass index (BMI). RESULTS Four-week treatment with rikkunshito combined with RPZ significantly decreased the FSSG score from 17.6 ± 6.5 to 12.0 ± 6.9, similar to the decrease seen on treatment with a double dose of RPZ. Regarding the therapeutic improvement rate, there were also significant effects in both groups. However, in the subgroup analysis based on RE/NERD, the improvement rate of male NERD patients in the rikkunshito group was significantly greater than that of such patients in the other group (P < 0.05). In the rikkunshito group, the treatment was more effective in NERD patients with a low BMI than in those with a high BMI (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Rikkunshito combined with standard-dose RPZ therapy may be a useful new strategy for PPI-refractory GERD patients.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) affects 20-30% of the population in Western countries, and is one of the most common clinical problems in daily practice. GERD-associated functional and structural abnormalities are caused by recurrent exposure of the esophagus to acidic and nonacidic refluxate of gastric contents (containing duodenal and intestinal proteases as well as acid and gastric pepsin) from the stomach. Major progress has been made in the understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of GERD-associated mucosal inflammation, suggesting a complex and multifactorial pathogenesis and immune-mediated effects. This Review summarizes the complexity of mucosal pathogenesis, including microscopic changes, mucosal inflammation and GERD-specific molecular mediators, in the context of the clinical features and pathophysiological characteristics of GERD. The abnormal exposure of the esophagus to luminal contents leads to chronic mucosal inflammation that is characterized by the release of IL-8 specifically, as well as other proinflammatory mediators, from the esophageal mucosa. Evidence from animal studies indicates a stepwise inflammatory response by the epithelium, which attracts immune effector cells to infiltrate the mucosa. From bench to bedside, these novel molecular findings might provide new treatment options beyond current acid-suppressive therapy and the principle of inhibition of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation.

Abstract
The lower esophageal sphincters (LES) together with the crural diaphragm are the major antireflux barriers protecting the esophagus from reflux of gastric content. However, reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus is a normal phenomenon in healthy individuals occurring primarily during episodes of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation (TLESR), defined as LES relaxation in the absence of a swallow. Transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation is also the dominant mechanism of pathologic reflux in gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD) patients. Frequency of TLESR does not differ significantly between healthy individuals and those with GERD, but TLESRs are more likely to be associated with acid reflux in GERD patients. Understanding the mechanisms responsible for elicitation of a TLESR, using recently introduced novel technology is an area of intense interest. Pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic manipulation of receptors involved in the control of TLESR has recently emerged as a potential target for GERD therapy.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the most widely used drugs for treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease. However, approximately 20% of patients with reflux esophagitis and 40% of those with nonerosive reflux diseases complain of troublesome symptoms, even during treatment with PPIs. In patients with reflux esophagitis, dose escalation and co-administration with a histamine H(2)-receptor antagonist are potential approaches, since the major cause of PPI resistance is incomplete suppression of gastric acid secretion. On the other hand, for patients with nonerosive reflux disease, switching from PPIs to pain modulators is often necessary for improvement of symptoms, since 25% of patients with nonerosive reflux disease have symptoms not caused by gastroesophageal acid reflux. Therapeutic approaches for PPI-resistant patients with reflux esophagitis and nonerosive reflux diseases are considered according to pathogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Secondary peristalsis is important for the clearance of refluxate or retained food bolus from the esophagus. Mosapride is a prokinetic agent that enhances GI motility by stimulating 5-hydroxytrypatamine(4) (5-HT(4) ) receptors, but its effects on secondary peristalsis are yet unclear in humans. We aimed to investigate the effect of a 5-HT(4) agonist mosapride on esophageal distension-induced secondary peristalsis in normal subjects. METHODS After a baseline recording esophageal motility, secondary peristalsis was generated by slow and rapid mid-esophageal injections of air in 15 healthy subjects. Two separate sessions with 40mg oral mosapride or placebo were randomly performed to test their effects on esophageal secondary peristalsis. KEY RESULTS Mosapride decreased the threshold volume for triggering secondary peristalsis during rapid air distension (4.5±0.3 vs 5.3±0.4mL; P=0.04) but not slow air distension (14.3±1.2 vs 13.3±1.3mL; P=0.41). Secondary peristalsis was triggered more frequently in response to rapid air distension after application of mosapride [100% (90-100%) vs 90% (80-100%); P=0.02]. Mosapride significantly increased pressure wave amplitudes of secondary peristalsis during slow (135.4±13.8 vs 105.0±12.9mmHg; P=0.001) and rapid air distensions (124.0±11.6 vs 95.9±14.0mmHg; P=0.002). CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES Mosapride enhances sensitivity to distension-induced secondary peristalsis and facilitates secondary peristaltic contractility. These data provide an evidence for modulation of esophageal secondary peristalsis by the 5-HT(4) agonist mosapride, as well support for its clinical utility.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is very common and advances in drug development over recent years have markedly improved GERD management. A wide range of medications are currently used in GERD treatment, including antacids, Gaviscon, sucralfate, histamine-2 receptor antagonists and prokinetics. However, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) remain the mainstay of treatment for GERD owing to their profound and consistent inhibitory effect on acid secretion. Despite the presence of a wide armamentarium of therapeutic modalities for GERD, many areas of unmet needs remain. Drug development has focused primarily on improving PPI efficacy, reducing the transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation rate, attenuating esophageal sensitivity and developing esophageal mucosal protectants.

Abstract
The irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a symptom-based disorder defined by the presence of abdominal pain and altered bowel habits. Clinical presentations of IBS are diverse, with some patients reporting diarrhea, some constipation, and others a mixture of both. Like the varied clinical phenotypes, the pathogenesis of IBS is also diverse. IBS is not a single disease entity, but rather likely consists of several different disease states. This fact has important implications for the choices and efficacy of IBS treatment. This article reviews the IBS drugs that have reached phase II or III clinical trials.

Abstract
WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS SUBJECT Reflux oesophagitis is a common clinical disorder associated with significant morbidity. Proton pump inhibitors are the current pharmacotherapy of choice, but not all treated patients achieve symptom relief. Little is known about the efficacy of mosapride, a prokinetic agent which decreases episodes of gastro-oesophageal reflux, as an adjunct to proton pump inhibitors in improving the symptoms of reflux oesophagitis. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS Mosapride was generally not more effective than placebo as an adjunct therapy to a standard dose of lansoprazole in decreasing the symptom burden of patients with reflux oesophagitis. However, in a subgroup with more severe symptoms, combination therapy with lansoprazole and mosapride was possibly superior to monotherapy with lansoprazole. AIMS To investigate if mosapride, a prokinetic agent, was an effective adjunct to acid suppression in improving the symptoms of reflux oesophagitis. METHODS Patients (n= 96) with reflux oesophagitis were randomly assigned to either mosapride (5 mg three times daily) or placebo for 4 weeks. Symptom severity was assessed by a validated questionnaire at enrolment, 4 and 8 weeks after medication. The primary outcome for the first 4 weeks was decrease in symptom scores. After a 3 day washout period, patients initially allocated to mosapride crossed over to placebo and vice versa for the next 4 weeks. The outcome of the second phase was maintenance of symptom control. All patients received lansoprazole (30 mg once daily) throughout study. RESULTS The decreased symptom score after 4 weeks of treatment with lansoprazole and mosapride (n= 50) was 13.42 +/- 1.16 (mean +/- SEM), similar to that of lansoprazole plus placebo (10.85 +/- 1.03, n= 46), with an insignificant difference of 2.57 (95% CI -0.53, 5.67, P= 0.103). However, a sub-group analysis for patients with pre-treatment scores of >18 points (n= 48) revealed that lansoprazole plus mosapride achieved a greater reduction of symptom score than lansoprazole plus placebo (18.22 +/- 1.91 vs. 12.88 +/- 1.65; mean difference of 5.34, 95% CI 0.28, 10.40, P= 0.039). In the second phase, there was no difference between lansoprazole with mosapride or placebo in maintaining symptom control (39/44 or 86.64% vs. 41/50 or 82%, P= 0.401). Subgroup analysis for those with substantial residual symptoms revealed similar results. CONCLUSION Compared with placebo, mosapride generally does not provide additional benefit to a standard dose of lansoprazole in patients with reflux oesophagitis, except possibly in the subgroup of severely symptomatic patients.

[PMID: 20826201 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2010.08.047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2010] [Revised: 08/11/2010] [Accepted: 08/31/2010] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
To develop a novel combination tablet which contained 100 mg trimebutine maleate and 5 mg mosapride citrate (TMCT) for the treatment of functional dyspepsia, the wet granulation method was used to prepare TMCTs with various amounts of diluents and stabilizers. The levels of impurities, the stability and the dissolution of the TMCTs were investigated. The oral bioavailability of drugs in the TMCTs was then evaluated and compared to the simultaneous oral administration of trimebutine maleate-loaded and mosapride citrate-loaded commercial products in the beagle dog. Among the diluents tested, D-mannitol was selected, since the microcrystalline cellulose and lactose did not inhibit the production of drug impurities due to their hygroscopic properties and chemical interactions, respectively. Furthermore, succinic acid was selected as the stabilizer because it gave the lowest level of total drug impurities of the organic acids tested. The combination tablet of trimebutine maleate and mosapride citrate prepared with D-mannitol and succinic acid gave a total drug content higher than 95% and total impurities lower than 0.5% at 25°C/60% RH and 40°C/75% RH during a 6-month period, indicating that the tablets were stable for at least 6 months. Furthermore, this combination tablet showed a similar dissolution to the trimebutine maleate-loaded and mosapride citrate-loaded commercial products and gave insignificantly different absorption compared to these commercial products in beagle dogs. Thus, the combination tablet of trimebutine maleate and mosapride citrate prepared with D-mannitol and succinic acid would be a stable and effective oral pharmaceutical product for the treatment of functional dyspepsia.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD Gastrointestinal (GI) dysmotility is an important mechanism in functional GI disorders (FGIDs) including constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, functional dyspepsia, and gastroparesis. 5-hydroxytryptamine(4) (5-HT(4)) receptors are targets for the treatment of GI motility disorders. However, older 5-HT(4) receptor agonists had limited clinical success because they were associated with changes in the function of the cardiac HERG potassium channel. AREAS COVERED IN THIS REVIEW We conducted a PubMed search using the following key words alone or in combination: 5-HT(4), safety, toxicity, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, clinical trial, cardiac, hERG, arrhythmia, potassium current, elderly, prucalopride, ATI-7505, and velusetrag (TD-5108), to review mechanisms of action, clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of three new-generation 5-HT(4) receptor agonists. WHAT THE READER WILL GAIN Prucalopride, ATI-7505, and velusetrag (TD-5108) are highly selective, high-affinity 5-HT(4) receptor agonists that are devoid of action on other receptors within their therapeutic range. Their efficacy has been demonstrated in pharmacodynamic studies which demonstrate acceleration of colonic transit and, to a variable degree, in clinical trials that significantly relieve chronic constipation. Currently available evidence shows that the new 5-HT(4) receptor agonists have safe cardiac profiles. TAKE HOME MESSAGE New-generation 5-HT(4) receptor agonists and future drugs targeting organ-specific splice variants are promising approaches to treat GI dysmotility, particularly colonic diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM A substantial number of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease show symptomatic resistance to high-dose proton pump inhibitors. In those cases, prokinetics are possible candidates for treatment. The aim of the present study was to determine whether mosapride, a prokinetic agent, stimulates esophageal functions, and prevents acidic and non-acidic gastroesophageal reflux. METHODS Normal volunteers (nine and 13 for two experiments, respectively) were enrolled. Salivary secretion, esophageal peristaltic contractions, and resting lower esophageal sphincter pressure with and without mosapride administration were recorded using a cross-over protocol. Post-prandial acidic and non-acidic reflux levels were also recorded. RESULTS Mosapride at a standard dose of 15 mg/day did not stimulate salivary secretion or any esophageal motor functions. It also failed to prevent acidic and non-acidic post-prandial gastroesophageal reflux. CONCLUSIONS Mosapride at 15 mg/day, a standard dose in Japan, did not change the esophageal motility and salivary secretion in healthy volunteers. Future study on a larger number of individuals with higher dose of mosapride is worthwhile.

The prokinetic effect of mosapride citrate combined with omeprazole therapy improves clinical symptoms and gastric emptying in PPI-resistant NERD patients with delayed gastric emptying. J Gastroenterol 2010; 45:413-21.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) patients are less sensitive to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment than patients with erosive reflux disease. The aim of this study was to investigate whether treatment with prokinetics in addition to omeprazole therapy would improve clinical symptoms, gastric emptying and esophageal peristalsis in PPI-resistant NERD patients with or without delayed gastric emptying. METHODS Subjects were 64 consecutive patients presenting with typical symptoms of PPl-resistant NERD (n = 44) and 20 healthy volunteers. PPI-resistant NERD patients underwent mosapride citrate (15 mg/day) and omeprazole (20 mg/day) co-therapy for 12 weeks. We evaluated the clinical symptoms as well as gastric emptying and esophageal manometry before and after combined therapy. We measured both acylated- and des-acylated plasma ghrelin levels by the ELISA method. The primary endopoint was to investigate whether co-administration of mosapride citrate and omeprazole would improve clinical symptoms and gastric emptying in PPI-resistant NERD patients with delayed gastric emptying. RESULTS T (max) value in PPI-resistant NERD patients was significantly higher than in healthy volunteers. Combination therapy with the prokinetic agent mosapride citrate and omeprazole significantly improved reflux symptoms and T (max) value in T (max) > 65 min NERD patients. Co-therapy also significantly reduced des-acylated-ghrelin levels in NERD patients with delayed gastric emptying. CONCLUSIONS Administration of mosapride citrate in addition to omeprazole improved gastro-esophageal reflux and gastric emptying in PPI-resistant NERD patients with delayed gastric emptying.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) is a more difficult to treat than reflux esophagitis (RE) due to the high prevalence of PPI resistance. Consequently, the treatment strategy for NERD is yet to be established. PATIENTS AND METHODS Subjects were 467 GERD patients (NERD 349, RE 118, 47.4 +/- 16.7 years) with reflux symptoms such as heartburn. PPI was administered for 2 weeks, and total score (TS) of symptoms, seven items of reflux symptoms e.g. heartburn (reflux score: RS), and five items of dyspeptic symptoms e.g. heavy stomach (dyspeptic score: DS) were assessed using the frequency scale for the symptoms of GERD (FSSG), a GERD-specific questionnaire developed in Japan. Improvement <50% in TS was defined as non-responder. Patients' background, and pretreatment TS, RS, DS, and 12 items of FSSG were assessed. Furthermore, the effect of additional prokinetics (4 weeks) for 117 PPI non-response NERD patients was also examined. RESULTS Younger age, constipation, higher TS, DS, F2 (bloated stomach), 3 (heavy stomach), 5 (sick feeling after meal), 8 (satiety during meal) in FSSG were factors to be PPI non-responders in NERD. Significant improvement in TS were observed (pretreatment: 17.4 +/- 7.7 vs. 2 weeks 14.6 +/- 6.0 vs. 6 weeks 7.7 +/- 5.2, p<0.0001) after the addition of prokinetics in PPI non-response NERD. CONCLUSION Younger age, constipation, dysmotility were factors of PPI non-response in NERD. As high DS is correlated with PPI non-response, it is indicated that patients with strong dysmotility and functional dyspepsia complication might be PPI resistant. The efficacy of additional prokinetics for PPI non-response NERD was observed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ideal medication for treatment of acid related diseases should have a rapid onset of action to promote hemostasis and resolution of symptoms. The aim of our study was to investigate the inhibitory effects on gastric acid secretion after a single oral administrations of lafutidine, is a newly synthesized H2-receptor antagonist, with mosapride 5 mg or lafutidine alone. METHODS Ten Helicobacter pylori negative male subjects participated in this randomized, two-way crossover study. Intragastric pH was monitored continuously for 4 hours after a single oral administration of lafutidine 10 mg or lafutidine 10 mg with mosapride 5 mg (the lafutidine being administrated one hour after the mosapride). Each administration was separated by a 7-day washout period. RESULTS The average pH during the 4-hour period after administration of lafutidine 10 mg with mosapride 5 mg was higher than after lafutidine 10 mg alone (median: 5.25 versus 4.58, respectively; p = 0.0318). During the 3-4 hour study period, lafutidine 10 mg with mosapride 5 mg provided a higher pH, compared to lafutidine 10 mg alone (median: 7.28 versus 6.42; p = 0.0208). CONCLUSION In H. pylori negative healthy male subjects, an oral dose of lafutidine 10 mg with mosapride 5 mg more rapidly increased intragastric pH than lafutidine 10 mg alone.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the therapeutic effect of esomeprazole and mosapride on aged hypotensive type LES esophageal motility dysfunction.
METHODS: A total of 57 aged hypotensive type LES esophageal motility dysfunction patients were divided into treatment group (n = 29) and control group (n = 28). Patients in treatment group were given esomeprazole 20 mg per day and mosapride 5 mg three times daily for 1 mo while patients in control group were given mosapride 5 mg three times daily for 1 mo. After medication treatment, the clinical symptoms, lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure and esophageal motility were observed.
RESULTS: Fifty seven cases of patients completed the study. The total effective rate of treatment group was 86.2%, which was significantly higher than that of control group (60.7%). LES pressure was improved significantly in both groups (1.82 ± 0.36 vs 1.09 ± 0.18, P < 0.001; 1.91 ± 0.45 vs 1.06 ± 0.17, P < 0.001, respectively). Esophageal motility became better in both groups, but no statistical difference was observed between them after treatment(48.3% vs 53.6%, P = 0.193).
CONCLUSION: Esomeprazole and mosapride are effective for aged hypotensive type LES esophageal motility dysfunction.

In vitro and in vivo pharmacological characterization of PF-01354082, a novel partial agonist selective for the 5-HT(4) receptor. Eur J Pharmacol 2009; 609:5-12. [PMID: 19285067 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2009.03.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2008] [Revised: 02/12/2009] [Accepted: 03/01/2009] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
The pharmacological profile of PF-01354082, a selective 5-HT(4) receptor partial agonist, was investigated. PF-01354082 displayed high affinity for human 5-HT(4d) and dog 5-HT(4h) receptors in binding studies, having Ki values of 2.0 nM and 4.2 nM, respectively. By contrast, PF-01354082 did not show significant affinity for several other 5-HT receptors (5-HT(1A), 5-HT(1B), 5-HT(1D), 5-HT(2A), 5-HT(2B), 5-HT(2C), 5-HT(3A), and 5-HT(7)) or the dopamine D(2long) receptor. Functional assays using either cells expressing human recombinant 5-HT(4d) receptors or rat tunica muscularis mucosae demonstrated that PF-01354082 exhibited partial agonist activity at the 5-HT(4) receptor. The effects of PF-01354082 on in vitro receptor binding, ion channel activity, and sites of uptake were further investigated. PF-01354082 did not show biologically relevant binding activity at concentrations up to 10 microM except for binding to the 5-HT(4e) receptor. Furthermore, PF-01354082 decreased I(HERG) current by only 11% at a concentration of 300 microM, indicating that the compound had greater than 150,000-fold selectivity for the human 5-HT(4d) receptor over hERG channels. An in vivo study using a gastric motility model in conscious dogs demonstrated that oral administration of PF-01354082 resulted in marked and sustained stimulation of gastric motility in a dose-dependent manner. These results indicate that PF-01354082 is an orally active, highly selective, partial agonist of the human 5-HT(4) receptor that is expected to exert a favorable effect on gastrointestinal motor disorders with reduced adverse effects mediated by other related receptors.
