Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the bioequivalence between a generic roxatidine acetate hydrochloride (RAH) sustained-release capsule and brand-named formulation (ALTAT) under fasting and fed conditions. An open-label, single-center, randomized 2-period crossover study with a 5-day washout period was conducted. A single oral dose of 75-mg generic RAH sustained-release capsule (test drug) or a commercial capsule (reference drug) was given to healthy volunteers under fasting (n = 36) and fed conditions (n = 36). Blood samples were collected at baseline and during the 24 hours after dosing. The concentrations of roxatidine acetate (ROX) and bioactive metabolite roxatidine in plasma were detected using a validated high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. Pharmacokinetic parameters were analyzed with noncompartmental methods. As prodrug, RAH was dehydrochloric acid to ROX in body and further rapidly converted to roxatidine. Such a rapid metabolism resulted in ROX that was hardly detected in plasma. Active metabolism roxatidine was therefore used to evaluate the pharmacokinetic process. The major pharmacokinetic parameters of roxatidine including peak plasma concentration, area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time t, and area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity were similar between the 2 preparations under fasting and fed conditions. The generic RAH sustained-release capsule is bioequivalent to the reference drug under fasting and fed conditions in healthy Chinese subjects.

Abstract
Since the discovery of the histamine H2 receptor (H2R), radioligands were among the most powerful tools to investigate its role and function. Initially, radiolabeling was used to investigate human and rodent tissues regarding their receptor expression. Later, radioligands gained increasing significance as pharmacological tools in in vitro assays. Although tritium-labeling was mainly used for this purpose, labeling with carbon-14 is preferred for metabolic studies of drug candidates. After the more-or-less successful application of numerous labeled H2R antagonists, the recent development of the G protein-biased radioligand [3H]UR-KAT479 represents another step forward to elucidate the widely unknown role of the H2R in the central nervous system through future studies.

Roxatidine attenuates mast cell-mediated allergic inflammation via inhibition of NF-κB and p38 MAPK activation. Sci Rep 2017; 7:41721.

Abstract
Roxatidine is an active metabolite of roxatidine acetate hydrochloride which is a histamine H2-receptor antagonist that is used to treat gastric and duodenal ulcers. In this study, we investigated the anti-allergic inflammatory effects and the underlying molecular mechanism of roxatidine in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and calcium ionophore (PMACI)-stimulated human mast cells-1 (HMC-1), compound 48/80-induced anaphylactic animal model and chemical allergen-induced contact hypersensitivity (CHS) models. Roxatidine suppressed the mRNA and protein expression of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in PMACI-stimulated HMC-1 and compound 48/80-induced anaphylactic mice. In addition, roxatidine attenuated PMACI-induced nuclear translocation of NF-κB and the phosphorylation of MKK3/6 and MK2, which are both involved in the p38 MAPK pathway. Furthermore, we observed that roxatidine suppressed the activation of caspase-1, an IL-1β converting enzyme, in PMACI-stimulated HMC-1 and compound 48/80-induced anaphylactic mice. In CHS model, roxatidine significantly reduced ear swelling, increased number of mast cells, production levels of cytokines and migration of dendritic cells. Our findings provide evidence that the anti-allergic inflammatory properties of roxatidine are mediated by the inhibition of NF-κB and caspase-1 activation, p38 MAPK pathway and mast cell-derived cytokine production. Taken together, the in vitro and in vivo anti-allergic inflammatory effects suggest a possible therapeutic application of roxatidine in allergic inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
A total of 56 healthy Japanese males were enrolled in single- or multiple- dose pharmacokinetic trials of intravenous lansoprazole administration. The population pharmacokinetics of the drug was evaluated using nonlinear mixed effects model (NONMEM) software. In addition, the effect of CYP2C19 polymorphism on proton pump inhibition by lansoprazole was investigated using 24-h intragastric pH monitoring in the 32 subjects. Time course of serum lansoprazole concentration following intravenous short infusion was well described by a 2-compartment model. The mean volume of the central and peripheral compartments was 0.110 and 0.201 l/kg, respectively. The mean inter-compartment clearance was estimated to be 0.0882 l/h/kg. The population mean value of systemic clearance in the homoEM (CYP2C19 1/ 1), heteroEM (CYP2C19 1/2 and 1/3), and PM (CYP2C19 2/2, 2/3, and 3/3) groups was 0.179, 0.109, and 0.038 l/h/kg, respectively. The mean intragastric pH following twice-daily doses of 30 mg lansoprazole was approximately 6, 5, and 4 in the PM, heteroEM, and homoEM groups, respectively. These findings indicate that large interindividual variability exists in the pharmacokinetics of intravenously administered lansoprazole, but that twice-daily infusion of a 30 mg dose leads to significant and sustained proton pump inhibition, even in the homoEM group, despite the short elimination half-life of the drug.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Famotidine increases Helicobacter pylori-eradication rates by a triple lansoprazole/amoxicillin/clarithromycin therapy in patients with the rapid extensive metabolizer genotype of CYP2C19. AIM To determine the effect of famotidine on the gastric acid inhibition by lansoprazole in relation to CYP2C19 genotypes. METHODS Twenty healthy volunteers with different CYP2C19 genotypes--consisting of six rapid extensive metabolizers, nine intermediate metabolizers and five poor metabolizers--underwent three 7-day courses with placebo, lansoprazole 30 mg twice daily, and lansoprazole 30 mg twice plus famotidine 20 mg twice daily. Lansoprazole was dosed after breakfast and dinner. Famotidine was dosed after lunch and at bedtime. Intragastric pH monitoring was performed for 24 h on day 7 of each course. RESULTS With placebo, no difference was observed in intragastric pH profiles among the three CYP2C19 genotype groups. With lansoprazole 30 mg twice daily, the median of 24-h intragastric pH in poor metabolizers (6.1) was significantly higher than those of rapid extensive metabolizers (4.5) and intermediate metabolizers (5.0), respectively (P = 0.0176 and 0.0388), whereas with lansoprazole 30 mg twice and famotidine 20 mg twice daily, the medians were 5.4, 5.7, and 6.1, respectively (not significant). CONCLUSION Acid inhibition by lansoprazole was influenced by CYP2C19 genotype status. This influence was offset by the concomitant use of famotidine.

Abstract
From the marketed drug product Roxane(R) 75 mg C/MR capsules (roxatidine controlled/modified-release capsules), an in vitro/in vivo comparison was performed to demonstrate a 1:1 correlation between in vitro and in vivo dissolution, and, furthermore, to ensure bioequivalence of the roxatidine controlled/modified-release (C/MR) capsules exhibiting dissolution profiles within the defined acceptance criteria. This 1:1 in vitro/in vivo comparison was calculated using a model independent numerical deconvolution method. The high degree of correlation is extremely rare, nevertheless it allows to omit the testing of clinical side batches for the setting of acceptance criteria for the in vitro dissolution of roxatidine controlled/modified-release (C/MR) capsules. The 1:1 in vitro/in vivo correlation can be explained by the biopharmaceutical characteristics of the drug substance as well as the drug product, that is, pH-independent high solubility of the drug substance as well as dissolution which is independent of pH and agitation. These facts lead to a controlled/modified-release formulation. Therefore, it is important to keep in mind that in most cases in which a pH-dependent solubility/dissolution as well as permeability characteristics can be found, a 1:1 in vitro/in vivo correlation could not be expected.

Abstract
The safety profile of any pharmacological agent is defined on the basis of its toxicity, tolerability and potential for pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic interactions with other compounds, which may belong to the same or to a different pharmacological class. Drug-drug interactions are important in clinical practice because short and long term therapeutic regimens frequently require coadministration of different drugs. The pharmacological treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers (and of related syndromes) includes older and newer compounds, which have different mechanisms of action and exert different therapeutic effects. These compounds are widely prescribed in combination with other drugs being given for the treatment of concomitant diseases. This article reviews pharmacokinetic interactions with anti-ulcer drugs, paying particular attention to those which have clinically relevant adverse effects. Drugs mentioned in the literature as causing any pharmacokinetic interaction with anti-ulcer compounds are considered in this article.

Abstract
There is much experimental work on the occurrence of tolerance to the antisecretory effect of H2-receptor antagonists in healthy subjects, while data on its development in patients with duodenal ulcer are poor and conflicting. Moreover, this phenomenon has not been studied previously with 24 h gastric pH-metry in patients with active duodenal ulcer. For these reasons, we carried out a prospective pharmacodynamic investigation in 48 patients with endoscopically proven duodenal ulcer using the well-established once daily dosing schedule of H2 blockers. They were studied by means of 24 h continuous endoluminal pH-metry which was performed before, on d1 and d28 after receiving an oral bedtime dose (2200 hours) of either roxatidine 150 mg or ranitidine 300 mg, given in randomized and single-blind fashion. Eight patients did not complete the study for various reasons and 82% of ulcers healed after 4 weeks of therapy. Gastric pH was higher (P < 0.001) on d1 and d28 than basal values during all time periods, but the evening, with both H2 blockers. There was no significant difference between pH values of d1 and d28 in any time interval with both roxatidine and ranitidine. There was also no difference in pharmacodynamic data between the two active treatments. We conclude that tolerance does not develop after 1 month's treatment with a bedtime dose of H2 antagonist in patients with active duodenal ulcer and therefore data gathered on this phenomenon in healthy subjects are not applicable to ulcer patients.

Abstract
AIM To compare the efficacy and tolerability of early evening (19.00-21.00 hours) vs. bedtime (22.00-00.00 hours) oral administration of roxatidine 150 mg in the short-term treatment of active duodenal ulcer. METHODS The trial was randomized, double-blind and double-dummy, with parallel groups. A total of 276 patients were recruited and randomly assigned either to roxatidine in the early evening (n = 139) or roxatidine at bedtime (n = 137). RESULTS After 4 weeks, 78% of patients receiving roxatidine in the early evening and 74% of those treated at bedtime had achieved complete healing, as determined by per-protocol analysis. With intention-to-treat analysis the healing rates were 70.5% and 70.8%, respectively. After 8 weeks the healing rates in the early evening and bedtime treatment groups were 92% and 95% (per-protocol analysis) and 78% and 84% (intention-to-treat analysis). Both treatments proved effective in reducing the frequency and severity of daytime and nocturnal epigastric pain, as well as other ulcer-related symptoms. CONCLUSIONS This study confirmed the healing and analgesic properties of roxatidine in duodenal ulcer disease. Early evening or bedtime dosing with roxatidine 150 mg resulted in similar 4- to 8-week rates of duodenal ulcer healing.

Abstract
1. Roxatidine acetate, a new histamine H2-receptor antagonist, was administered in the evening (75 mg p.o.) to eight patients with renal insufficiency (CLCR 8-17 ml min-1) for 12 days and plasma drug concentrations were measured. 2. Ambulatory intragastric pH was monitored following the last dose and values were compared with those on day 1 when all patients received a placebo. 3. The terminal elimination half-life (mean +/- s.d.) of roxatidine was 10.8 +/- 2.4 h and its oral clearance was 178 +/- 43 ml min-1. 4. During roxatidine treatment gastrin levels increased slightly (median 189 vs 289 ng l-1) and the hyperparathyroid status of the patients was almost normalized (parathyroid hormone levels: median 199 vs 132 ng l-1). 5. The mean latency to a gastric pH of at least 4 was 4.3 +/- 1.4 h. The duration of action (intragastric pH > 4) was 10.6 +/- 3.9 h. 6. As in a pilot study with six patients (CLCR < or = 17 ml min-1) the recommended dosage regimen (75 mg 48 h-1) was unable to maintain gastric pH > 4 for more than 6 h, daily nocturnal intake of 75 mg roxatidine acetate appears appropriate to elevate gastric pH > 4 for a sufficient period of time.

Abstract
Gastric acid secretion is precisely regulated by neural (acetylcholine), hormonal (gastrin), and paracrine (histamine; somatostatin) mechanisms. The stimulatory effect of acetylcholine and gastrin is mediated via increase in cytosolic calcium, whereas that of histamine is mediated via activation of adenylate cyclase and generation of cAMP. Potentiation between histamine and either gastrin or acetylcholine may reflect postreceptor interaction between the distinct pathways and/or the ability of gastrin and acetylcholine to release histamine from mucosal ECL cells. The prime inhibitor of acid secretion is somatostatin. Its inhibitory paracrine effect is mediated predominantly by receptors coupled via guanine nucleotide binding proteins to inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity. All the pathways converge on and modulate the activity of the luminal enzyme, H+,K(+)-ATPase, the proton pump of the parietal cell. Precise information on the mechanisms involved in gastric acid secretion and the identification of specific receptor subtypes has led to the development of potent drugs capable of inhibiting acid secretion. These include competitive antagonists that interact with stimulatory receptors (e.g. muscarinic M1-receptor antagonists and histamine H2-receptor antagonists) as well as non-competitive inhibitors of H+,K(+)-ATPase (e.g. omeprazole). The histamine H2-receptor antagonists (cimetidine, ranitidine, famotidine, nizatidine and roxatidine acetate) continue as first-line therapy for peptic ulcer disease and are effective in preventing relapse. Although they are generally well tolerated, histamine H2-receptor antagonists may cause untoward CNS, cardiac and endocrine effects, as well as interfering with the absorption, metabolism and elimination of various drugs. The dominance of the histamine H2-receptor antagonists is now being challenged by omeprazole. Omeprazole reaches the parietal cell via the bloodstream, diffuses through the cytoplasm and becomes activated and trapped as a sulfenamide in the acidic canaliculus of the parietal cell. Here, it covalently binds to H+,K(+)-ATPase, the hydrogen pump of the parietal cell, thereby irreversibly blocking acid secretion in response to all modes of stimulation. The main potential drawback to its use is its extreme potency which sometimes leads to virtual anacidity, gastrin cell hyperplasia, hypergastrinaemia and, in rats, to the development of carcinoid tumours. The cholinergic receptor on the parietal cell has recently been identified as an M3 subtype and that on postganglionic intramural neurones of the submucosal plexus as an M1 subtype.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Roxatidine acetate is a histamine H2-receptor antagonist which, after almost complete oral absorption (greater than 95%), is rapidly converted to its active metabolite, roxatidine, by esterases in the small intestine, plasma and liver. Roxatidine is a potent inhibitor of basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion in animals and humans and, like most other H2-receptor antagonists, has no anti-androgenic effects and does not interfere with the hepatic metabolism of other drugs. Large-scale trials have shown that roxatidine acetate 150mg per day is as effective as standard doses of cimetidine and ranitidine in the treatment of patients with duodenal or gastric ulcer, and that roxatidine acetate 75mg in the evening is likely to become a 'standard' regimen for the prevention of peptic ulcer recurrence. Preliminary data also suggest that roxatidine acetate may be useful in the treatment of reflux oesophagitis and stomal ulcer, and in the prevention of pulmonary acid aspiration. Roxatidine acetate is an H2-receptor antagonist which has been well tolerated in clinical trials. However, broader experience is required before definitive statements about tolerability relative to other H2-receptor antagonists can be made, and before the role of roxatidine acetate in the treatment of reflux oesophagitis and stomal ulcer, and the prophylaxis of acid aspiration pneumonitis, can be clearly defined.

Abstract
Many drugs are eliminated via the renal route and the usual dose must be modified in patients with severe renal impairment. This review is an attempt to supply physicians with the more recent data on pharmacokinetic studies of new drugs administered in uraemic patients. The review is in 2 parts: the first indicates the results of studies on the pharmacokinetics of antibiotic agents, antifungal, antiviral and antiulcer drugs, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Special mention is made of epoetin (recombinant human erythropoietin). It was not possible to give all the information collected from the recent literature: since mild renal failure has little effect on the fate of a drug, pharmacokinetic data obtained in patients with a creatinine clearance (CLCR) of more than 50 ml/min has been omitted. Both the text and tables give recommendations for treating patients with moderate renal insufficiency (CLCR of about 50 ml/min), more severe renal impairment (CLCR between 10 and 50 ml/min) and end-stage renal failure with a very low creatinine clearance (below 10 ml/min). It was not possible to give uniform recommendations (i.e. reducing the dose while maintaining the same interval, or giving the same dose and prolonging the interval). This article follows the recommendations of the authors, which may vary for drugs in similar classes.

Abstract
In this paper the effects of chronic renal failure on the pharmacokinetics of H2-antagonists are reviewed and the results obtained with roxatidine presented. In normal renal function renal clearance is around 60-80% of total plasma clearance of all H2-antagonists. Consequently, prolongation of serum half-life, mainly due to a decrease in urinary excretion, is noted in patients with decreasing glomerular filtration rate. In chronic renal failure, a dose reduction is therefore necessary with all H2-antagonists, including roxatidine. It appears that neither haemodialysis nor peritoneal dialysis substantially influences the pharmacokinetics of these drugs. Therefore, the same dosage schedule as in uraemia may be applied in patients with dialysis. Finally, in the elderly the dosage of all H2-antagonists should be adapted to the expected decrease in renal function.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of roxatidine acetate 150 mg were studied in 31 patients with varying degrees of chronic renal failure. The patients were divided into 5 groups according to their creatinine clearance (Clcr): controls (Clcr 94.5 +/- 13.9 ml/min; n = 6); mild chronic renal failure (Clcr 47 +/- 6 ml/min; n = 4); moderate chronic renal failure (Clcr 27.3 +/- 3.1 ml/min; n = 4); severe chronic renal failure (Clcr 12.8 +/- 1.4 ml/min; n = 5) and uraemia (Clcr 6.6 +/- 0.6 ml/min; n = 12). Serum and urine samples were analysed with capillary gas chromatography to measure the salt of the desacetyl metabolite of roxatidine acetate (roxatidine). The terminal half-life was 6.02 +/- 0.31 hours in controls and 7.35 +/- 0.57, 9.3 +/- 0.83, 14.6 +/- 3.7 and 18.10 +/- 2.77 hours, respectively, in the 4 other groups, with progressively decreasing creatinine clearance. Maximum serum concentration and time to maximum serum concentration rose from 816 +/- 75 ng/ml and 2.08 +/- 0.22 hours, respectively, in controls to 1364.7 +/- 156 ng/ml and 4.05 +/- 0.47 hours, respectively, in uraemic patients. Relative total clearance progressively decreased with decreasing glomerular filtration rate (GFR) [from 353.6 +/- 26 ml/min in controls to 90.31 +/- 12.2 ml/min in patients with uraemia]. Renal clearance decreased from a control of 243.9 +/- 56 ml/min to 12.32 +/- 0.18 ml/min in uraemic patients. A linear correlation between creatinine clearance and both relative total clearance and renal drug clearance was noted.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Roxatidine acetate (HOE 760, TZU 0460) is a new H2-receptor antagonist which is more potent than cimetidine and ranitidine. A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted in healthy men to determine the effects of multiple oral doses of roxatidine acetate on unstimulated gastric acid secretion, and to assess the preliminary multiple-dose pharmacokinetics of its active desacetyl metabolite. The subjects were randomised to receive either roxatidine acetate 150 mg or placebo daily at 9 pm for 14 days. Gastric secretions were collected by aspiration using a nasogastric tube placed in the distal part of the stomach. Gastric fluid volume, pH, and acid concentrations were determined for 2 hours before drug administration and over 24 hours after administration on days 1, 7, 14 (the last day of dosing), and 17 (3 days after the last dose). Plasma and urine samples were collected throughout the study for the pharmacokinetic assessment. All subjects completed the study without side effects or clinically significant changes in any of the safety variables. Subjects receiving roxatidine acetate had substantial increases in gastric pH and decreases in acid secretion compared to baseline and to placebo-treated subjects. The duration of effect was approximately 12 hours. Nocturnal pH was greater than or equal to 6.0 in 80% of the roxatidine acetate-treated subjects. When sampled 3 days after the last dose (day 17) no differences in pH, acid secretion, or gastric volume were observed between the roxatidine acetate- and placebo-treated groups. The gastric pH increased with the mean plasma concentrations of the desacetyl metabolite. Mean plasma levels at steady state were attained between the 4th and 7th days after which there was no evidence of appreciable accumulation of the desacetyl metabolite. Roxatidine acetate 150 mg administered orally at 9 pm for 14 days to healthy men was safe, well tolerated, and produced clinically relevant increases in gastric pH, and decreases in gastric acid concentration, without affecting gastric fluid volume.
