Omeprazole is a new hydrogen-potassium adenosine triphosphatase antagonist with indications for severe reflux esophagitis and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Side effects involving the liver have consisted of minimal elevations of hepatocellular enzymes with higher dosages. We present what we believe is the first reported case of fulminant hepatic failure related to omeprazole.

Spontaneous remission of gastric acid hypersecretion in the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome occurs rarely. This study shows the development of gastric secretory mucosal atrophy resulting in achlorhydria and loss of pepsin secretion in a 63-year-old woman with the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Reduced secretion began soon after starting treatment with omeprazole, and achlorhydria became complete 6 months later. The patient remains well with normal endoscopy results and is achlorhydric 4 years after the start of treatment and 34 months after stopping omeprazole. She was not colonized with Helicobacter pylori until 36 months after developing achlorhydria. Serum gastrin has increased from 1000 to between 5000 and 12,500 ng/L (pg/mL), was not suppressible by gastric acidification, and was not associated with G-cell hyperplasia. She also has a normal Schilling test and normal immunoglobulins, and lacks antibodies to parietal cells or H+, K(+)-ATPase. Moderate enterochromaffinlike cell hyperplasia is apparent for the first time on the latest biopsy sample.

Omeprazole is the first of a new class of gastric antisecretory drugs, proton pump inhibitors. It inhibits the H+,K(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase enzyme of the gastric parietal cell, resulting in potent, long-lasting suppression of basal and stimulated acid secretion. The drug is currently approved for treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. In clinical trials, treatment with omeprazole results in rapid healing of duodenal ulcers; it is also effective in treating gastric ulcer disease. It is uniformly well tolerated without significant adverse effects, although animal studies linked profound long-term suppression of gastric acid secretion with the development of gastric carcinoids. Potential future uses include the prophylaxis of ulceration secondary to stress or use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and the prophylaxis of recurrent peptic ulcer disease.

Omeprazole, a substituted benzimidazole, is a specific inhibitor of the enzyme H+/K(+)-ATPase, which is found on the secretory surface of the parietal cell. This enzyme, the "proton pump," catalyzes the final step in acid secretion. Omeprazole is a powerful inhibitor of gastric acid secretion. At the time of writing, omeprazole has been licensed in the United States for the treatment of severe grades of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as well as GERD unresponsive to treatment with currently available agents, and for the treatment of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and other gastric hypersecretory states. Most recently, it has been recommended by the FDA advisory committee for approval as first-line therapy in duodenal ulcer disease.

Omeprazole is a specific inhibitor of H+,K(+)-ATPase or 'proton pump' in parietal cells. This enzyme is responsible for the final step in the process of acid secretion; omeprazole blocks acid secretion in response to all stimuli. Single doses produce dose-dependent inhibition with increasing effect over the first few days, reaching a maximum after about 5 days. Doses of omeprazole 20mg daily or greater are able to virtually abolish intragastric acidity in most individuals, although lower doses have a much more variable effect. Omeprazole causes a dose-dependent increase in gastrin levels. Omeprazole must be protected from intragastric acid when given orally, and is therefore administered as encapsulated enteric-coated granules. Absorption can be erratic but is generally rapid, and initially the drug is widely distributed. It is highly protein-bound and extensively metabolised. Its elimination half-life is about 1h but its pharmacological effect lasts much longer, since it is preferentially concentrated in parietal cells where it forms a covalent linkage with H+,K(+)-ATPase, which it irreversibly inhibits. Omeprazole binds to hepatic cytochrome P450 and inhibits oxidative metabolism of some drugs, the most important being phenytoin. Omeprazole has produced short term healing rates superior to the histamine H2-receptor antagonists in duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer and reflux oesophagitis. It has also been shown to be highly effective in healing ulcers which have failed to respond to H2-receptor antagonists, and has been extremely valuable in treating patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

As clinical experience with patients with ZES has grown, increasing recognition has been made of the broad spectrum of symptoms associated with gastrinomas. Diarrhea and acid-induced esophageal injury have taken their place alongside chronic peptic ulcer disease as indications for screening for gastrinoma. Diagnostic testing should begin with fasting serum gastrin levels and should include intravenous secretin infusion if fasting serum levels of gastrin are nondiagnostic and the patient is not found to be hypochlorhydric. Tumor localization is critical to aid in the identification of patients with potentially curable localized disease. Preoperative evaluation utilizing CT scanning with intravenous contrast should be done early and should be supplemented by other imaging modalities as necessary. Exploratory laparotomy, including a thorough examination of the duodenum and perhaps intraoperative ultrasound, should be performed in all patients with sporadic gastrinoma who lack evidence of extensive metastatic disease on preoperative evaluation. By utilizing this approach, it is likely that at least 20% of patients with ZES can be cured. With the availability of the highly effective H(+)-K(+)-ATPase inhibitor omeprazole, excellent control of symptoms related to gastric acid hypersecretion can be expected. Patients with unresectable gastrinoma may thus avoid potentially morbid antisecretory surgery and be managed with a fairly simple medical regimen. Further developments in the chemotherapeutic management of these patients with unresectable disease should be forthcoming in the future.

The presence of unbuffered acid appears to be an essential contributory factor in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer disease. Treatment has concentrated therefore on the reduction of acidity, and the last decade has seen the widespread and effective use of H2 antagonists. They are, at low doses, more successful in improving the natural history of duodenal ulcer disease than of gastric or esophageal ulceration. The H2 receptor plays a central role in activation of parietal cell acid secretion, and antagonists at this receptor block most (but not all) of the acid secretion due to even gastrinergic or muscarinic (vagal) stimulation. In hypergastrinemic states such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, or where acid secretion has to be inhibited by more than 20% over a 24-hr period, such as for treatment of esophagitis, NSAID damage, or gastric ulcers, the dose and frequency of administration of the currently available antagonists must be increased to achieve reliable therapy. This has led to a search for an alternative target for acid inhibitory drugs, such as the gastric acid pump, the H+,K(+)-ATPase. This article focuses on the function of this ATPase and suggests that inhibition of this pump will provide a more efficacious means of reduction of acid secretion by the stomach, hence improving and simplifying therapy of acid related diseases.

A case of Zollinger-Ellison syndromes in a fifty year-old male that was successfully treated with a H+-K+ ATPase inhibitor (Omeprazol) is reported. The patient underwent a partial gastrectomy in 1984, but had been suffering from multiple refractory stomal and jejunal ulcers after the operation. In 1987, hypergastrinemia (760 pg/ml) was detected, and the presence of gastrinomas in the pancreatic head accompanied by a multiple liver metastasis was subsequently confirmed by CT-angiography and by the gastrin level detected in percutaneous, transhepatic, portal venous samples. A secretin provocation test proved to be negative, and the ulcers resisted the H2-receptor antagonists, but the patient was successfully cured shortly after the administration of an H+-K+ ATPase inhibitor.

Several histamine H2 receptor antagonists and the H+,K(+)-ATPase inhibitor, omeprazole, have been shown to be capable of controlling gastric acid secretion safely and effectively in patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. The relative merits of these agents are discussed, and their use in the acute and long-term control of acid hypersecretion and in special circumstances that require particular care are described. The surgical approaches to the control of acid secretion are described, and the current place of surgery in the management of acid hypersecretion is discussed.

Due to its potent and long-lasting antisecretory properties is omeprazole, the first clinically used H+/K+-adenosine triphosphatase inhibitor, highly effective in healing of duodenal and gastric ulcers and reflux oesophagitis. Omeprazole is superior to all other presently available antiulcer drugs in the treatment of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and refractory ulcers. Short-term administration of the drug is safe. However, serum gastrin and gastric enterochromaffin-like cells should be carefully monitored during long-term treatment with the drug.
