  • Title: Effects of a mast cell stabiliser (FPL 52694) on human gastric secretion.

    Abstract:
    The effects of a new monochrome mast cell stabilizer (FPL 52694) on gastric secretion have been studied in healthy volunteers. When administered orally for 3 days, FPL 52694 consistently reduced nocturnal and pentagastrin-stimulated secretion of acid by about 50%. Meal-stimulated gastric secretion was not affected by the drug. Inhibition of the gastric secretory response to pentagastrin was not significant when single doses of the drug were administered either into the stomach or the duodenum, but administration of multiple doses resulted in significant inhibition. The drug does not inhibit gastric secretion by injuring the gastric mucosa, since the gastric mucosal barrier to back diffusion of hydrogen ions is not affected. We conclude that this mast cell stabilizer provides an interesting tool for studying aspects of the physiological control of gastric secretion and may have a therapeutic role in peptic ulceration.
