    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Pantoprazole, 2-[(2-pyridylmethyl) sulphinyl] benzimidazole, is a new substituted benzimidazole that inhibits the parietal cell H+/K+-ATPase. METHODS: In the present study, the anti-secretory and anti-ulcer activities of pantoprazole were compared with those of omeprazole and lansoprazole in rats. RESULTS: Pantoprazole (0.3-3 mg/kg, p.o.) as well as omeprazole (1-10 mg/kg, p.o.) and lansoprazole (1-10 mg/kg, p.o.) dose-dependently decreased both basal acid secretion in pylorus-ligated rats and the stimulated acid secretion induced by mepirizole in acute fistula rats, and the effects of pantoprazole were more potent than those of omeprazole and lansoprazole, the ED50 values for the stimulated acid secretion being 0.8, 2.0 and 1.2 mg/kg, respectively. Neither of these drugs had any effect on duodenal HCO3- secretion. These pump inhibitors prevented the development of duodenal lesions in response to mepirizole in a dose-related manner, the ED50 values for pantoprazole, omeprazole and lansoprazole being 0.4, 2.0 and 1.3 mg/kg, respectively. Likewise, pantoprazole showed the healing promoting action on chronic duodenal ulcers induced by acetic acid, and this effect was also more potent when compared to omeprazole or lansoprazole. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that pantoprazole exhibited both anti-ulcer and healing promoting effects on duodenal ulcers in rats, and the effects may be attributable to its potent anti-secretory action. Other pump inhibitors such as omeprazole and lansoprazole were almost equally effective as pantoprazole, yet this drug was most potent on the basis of ED50 values.
