Effects of FRG-8701, a new histamine H2-receptor antagonist, on gastric acid secretion, necrotizing agents-induced gastric lesions and acute gastric or duodenal ulcer in rats were studied. In lumen-perfused rats, intravenous injection of FRG-8701 reduced gastric acid secretion, and its antisecretory effect was almost equipotent to that of famotidine but the duration of action was substantially longer. In pylorus-ligated rats, the antisecretory effect of intraduodenal FRG-8701 administration was about 7 times more potent than that of cimetidine. FRG-8701 effectively inhibited macroscopic gastric hemorrhagic lesions induced by various kinds of necrotizing agents. Intraperitoneal injection was effective in preventing the lesions as well as oral treatment. The oral ED50 values for these lesions ranged from 1.1 to 9.4 mg/kg. On the other hand, famotidine failed to reduce these lesions, and the cytoprotective effect of cimetidine was observed only in high doses compared with the doses for antisecretory activity. In addition, the cytoprotective effect of FRG-8701 was not affected by the treatment of indomethacin or N-ethylmaleimide. FRG-8701 showed antiulcer activity against stress and indomethacin gastric ulcer and mepirizole duodenal ulcer. Its antiulcer effect was 5-15 times more potent than that of cimetidine. These results indicate that FRG-8701 is a new antiulcer drug that exerts a potent cytoprotective effect in addition to its gastric antisecretory activity.

Effect of lafutidine ((+/-)-2-(furfurylsulfinyl)-N-[4-[4-(piperidinomethyl)-2-pyr idyl] oxy-(Z)-2-butenyl] acetamide, FRG-8813), a novel antiulcer agent, on the healing and relapse in acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer in rats was investigated. Lafutidine at 1, 3 or 10 mg/kg, twice daily for 10 days reduced the ulcer area in a dose-dependent manner, and the effect by 10 mg/kg of lafutidine was significant. The effect of famotidine at 1 mg/kg and cimetidine at 30 mg/kg, which have almost equal antisecretory activity to lafutidine at 10 mg/kg, on the ulcer area was not significant. Effect on the healing and relapse was assessed by endoscopy for 25 weeks after the induction of gastric ulcer. Drugs were administered twice daily for 11 weeks. Lafutidine at 3 mg/kg and famotidine at 1 mg/kg accelerated the healing, but cimetidine at 30 mg/kg did not. Cumulative relapse rate and inflammatory cell infiltration were significantly reduced in rats initially treated with lafutidine. Famotidine and cimetidine had no effect. In conclusion, lafutidine accelerated ulcer healing and prevented ulcer relapse in rats.

We investigated the recurrence of ulcers in rats after treatment with FRG-8813, (+/-)-2-(furfurylsulfinyl)-N-[4- [4-(piperidinomethyl)-2-pyridyl] oxy-(Z)-2-butenyl] acetamide, a novel histamine H(2)-receptor antagonist. Chronic gastric ulcers were induced by serosa-searing with a hot metal bar, and the ulcer healing and recurrence after treatment with FRG-8813 or famotidine were evaluated by endoscopy for 160 days. At the dose of 30 mg/kg p. o., once daily, the treatment with FRG-8813 or famotidine for 60 days, which was stopped earlier if the ulcer had healed, accelerated the ulcer healing significantly. A subsequent follow-up study on the healed rats showed that the cumulative recurrence rate of rats healed by FRG-8813 was lower than that of naturally healed rats or rats healed by famotidine. In many cases of rats healed by FRG-8813, the regenerated mucosa was normal in contrast with the control of famotidine-healed animals. The mucosal regeneration index of the gastric ulcer after 10 days' administration of FRG-8813 was significantly higher than that obtained with famotidine. After cessation of the treatment with famotidine for 7 days, rebound hyperacidity was induced; but such rebound did not occur with FRG-8813. Considering the low recurrence rate of ulcers after FRG-8813 treatment, we suggest that FRG-8813 treatment may provide additional benefits in peptic ulcer therapy.
