Changes in the contents of various amines and histidine decarboxylase (HDC) activity in the gastric mucosa during the healing process of acetic acid induced gastric ulcer in rats were sequentially examined in the ulcer region and intact region at 2, 10, 40, 80, 180 and 365 days after the operation. The following results were obtained: 1) Histamine (HA) content in the ulcer region was decreased as compared with the intact region at 2 and 10 days and returned to the control level in 40 days. After 180 days, the contents in the ulcer region and intact region were also increased as compared with that of the normal control region. 2) Changes in serotonin (5-HT) content as well as HA content were observed. 3) Norepinephrine content in the ulcer region was decreased as compared with the intact region at 2, 10, 80 and 180 days. 4) HDC activity in the ulcer region was decreased as compared with the intact region at 2, 10 and 40 days, and a lower level was maintained still at 180 days. 5) In the relapse and recurrence of gastric ulcer at 365 days, HA and 5-HT contents in the intact region and ulcer region were not different from those in healing rats, but the contents of these amines were higher at 180 days. The results suggest that the change of HA, 5-HT contents and HDC activity in the gastric mucosa may be one of the factors involved in the relapse and recurrence of chronic ulcers.

A series of tetrazole alkanamides was synthesized and tested for antiulcer activity against acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer in rats. These compounds were prepared by the reaction of tetrazole alkanoic acids and various amines by the mixed anhydride method or acid chloride method. Among them, 3-[(1-ethyl-5-tetrazolyl)methylthio]propionamide (IIn) was found to have the most potent activity. The structure-activity relationships are discussed.

Many 1-substituted 4-(5-tetrazolyl)thio-1-butanones were synthesized and tested for antiulcer activity against acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer in rats. These compounds were prepared by the reaction of 5-mercaptotetrazoles and 4-halogeno-1-butanones. Among them, 1-cyclohexyl-4-(1-phenyl-5-tetrazolyl)thio-1-butanone (VIIIp) was found to have the most potent activity. The structure-activity relationships are discussed.

A survey of different methods for the production of experimental gastric ulcer in rats is given. 20 male Wistarrats got a chronic gastric ulcer after the injection of 0.05 ml acetic acid (30%) under the serosa. We documented the developing of the ulcer in phases by means of histology. In contrast to other models the Acetic Acid Injection Ulcer (by Takagi et al. 1969) shows similar histology and chronicity to human histology and chronicity.

Healing gastric ulcers were examined immunohistochemically for the presence of myofibroblasts containing actin microfilaments. Twenty five surgical specimens of the gastric ulcer corresponding to the initial healing stage and the proliferative healing stage, and 30 surgical specimens of the acetic acid-induced ulcers in rats at 3, 8 (initial healing stage), and 15 (proliferative healing stage) days after ulcer induction were fixed and cut into 4-micron sections, which were then treated with anti-actin serum, peroxidase-antiperoxidase and incubated for the localization of actin. Controls were prepared using non-immune serum or preabsorbed immune serum. Actin-positive fibroblasts were seen at the edge and the floor of the ulcer in the initial healing stage, but not in the edge of the ulcer in the proliferative healing stage. Such cells may be responsible for the contraction of the ulcer caliver observed clinically in the initial healing stage of the gastric ulcer.

Effects of (-) cis-2,3-dihydro-3-(4-methylpiperazinylmethyl)-2-phenyl-1,5-benz othiazepin-4-(5H ) -one hydrochloride (BTM-1086) on various experimental gastric and duodenal ulcers were studied in rats. In the pylorus-ligated ulcer, restraint and water immersion stress ulcer, and drug-induced ulcer (indomethacin, aspirin, reserpine, serotonin, cysteamine), BTM-1086 prevented the development of ulcer at a dose of 0.1 to 1 mg/kg, p.o., but only weakly inhibited the histamine-induced gastric ulcer. The inhibitory activities of BTM-1086 were significantly higher than those of atropine sulfate. In the healing experiment with the acetic acid-induced stomach ulcer, BTM-1086 (1 mg/kg/day, p.o., X 14) showed a significant healing effect, which was higher than that of propantheline bromide. BTM-1086 at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg, i.d., remarkably inhibited the gastric secretion 6 hr after pylorus ligation. The aspirin-induced reductions of the total acid and K+ as well as the increments of the volume and Na+ in the gastric secretion were prevented dose-dependently by pretreatment with BTM-1086.

Chronic gastric ulcers were produced by injection of 20% acetic acid (0.05 ml) into the submucosal layer of the rat stomach in order to determine the effects of the prostanoid trimoprostil on the healing and recurrence of ulcers. Local injection of acetic acid solution produced large demarcated ulcers in all animals on day 5, which rapidly decreased to reach low levels on days 40-80 and then became exacerbated on day 100. The exacerbation of the ulcer is probably recurrence. Trimoprostil was administered ad libitum in drinking water containing 0.1, 0.3 and 1.0 microgram/ml (average dose 12.4, 37 and 124 micrograms/kg/day) for a period of 14 days (day 1-15) to assess its effect on healing and for a period of 40 days (day 60-100) to assess its ability to prevent recurrence. The higher two doses of trimoprostil accelerated the spontaneous healing of the ulcers. Furthermore, trimoprostil, at both doses, prevented the observed recurrence of this type of ulcer. Trimoprostil dose-dependently (30-300 micrograms/kg, p.o.) inhibited gastric secretion in pylorus-ligated rats. Cimetidine at the antisecretory dose (1 mg/ml, 132 mg/kg/day) failed to affect the healing process of gastric ulcers, but tended to prevent the recurrence of gastric ulcers. Our present study suggests that trimoprostil is a promising antiulcer drug for the treatment of chronic gastric ulcer.

Changes in the incorporation of 3H-glucosamine into the macromolecular glycoprotein during the healing process of acetic acid induced gastric ulcer in rats were sequentially examined in the ulcer region and the intact region at 2, 10, 40, 80 and 365 days after the operation. 1) The total radioactivity (Tissue + Medium) and the radioactivity which remained in the tissue after incubation of the ulcer region were increased significantly as compared with those of the control at 2 days after the operation (275, 175% of the control, respectively), and then total radioactivity returned to the control level. On the other hand, the radioactivity in the tissue was gradually decreased, and then it became 50% of the control at 365 days. In contrast, the incorporating activity into the macromolecular glycoproteins was decreased to 50% of the control at 2 days, and was once recovered to the control level at 10 days. After 40 days, it was again decreased to 50% of the control and became 30% at 365 days. 2) Changes in the incorporation of 3H-glucosamine into the macromolecular glycoproteins of the intact region of rats with ulcers were the same as that of the ulcer region. 3) Elution profiles of gel filtration of the macromolecular glycoproteins isolated from the relapse and recurrence region of rats with ulcers at 365 days were the same as that of the healing region, and their radioactivities were decreased to 30% of the control. The results suggested that such a decrease in the biosynthetic activity of the macromolecular glycoproteins extending over the whole gastric tissue is one of the reasons for the increased relapse and recurrence.

The effects of 5-acetylspiro[benzofuran-2(3H),1'-cyclopropan]-3-one (AG 629), a newly synthesized compound, on various experimentally induced ulcers were investigated. Oral or intraduodenal administration of AG 629 in a dose range of 25-100 mg/kg inhibited water-immersion stress ulcer, exertion ulcer, Shay ulcer, indometacin- and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)-induced gastric ulcer, and indomethacin-induced small intestinal ulcer in rats, histamine-induced gastric ulcer in guinea pigs, and ASA-induced gastric ulcer in dogs, though it was not effective against cysteamine-induced duodenal ulcer in rats. AG 629 in doses of 6.3-25 mg/kg p.o. twice a day significantly promoted the healing of acetic acid- or thermal-cortisone-induced gastric ulcers and acetic acid-induced duodenal ulcers in rats. AG 629 (25-100 mg/kg i.d.) inhibited the secretion of gastric acid and pepsin in pylorus-ligated rats and the acid secretion stimulated by distension of the rat stomach with air, whereas this compound did not affect acid secretion stimulated by histamine, pentagastrin, carbachol or 2-deoxy-D-glucose. This study shows that AG 629 has both prophylactic and curative effects on various ulcers. The anti-ulcer effect of this agent seems to be mediated primarily by increasing mucosal resistance and secondarily by an antisecretory activity.

The following results were obtained as the result of the sequential observations with an endoscope of the gastric ulcer produced by submucosal injection of acetic acid in rats. 1) The size of the ulcer produced by acetic acid injection observed on the 3rd day after ulcer induction depended on the concentration and volume of acetic acid. 2) The natural reducing rates of the size of ulcers in the region between the fundus and pylorus on the anterior wall (A) and in the glandular region on the greater curvature (B) were compared. The reducing rate of B ulcer was significantly faster than that of A ulcer. 3) No significant difference was observed in the reducing processes of untreated ulcers in 7 weeks old rats and 25 weeks old rats. 4) The ulcer reducing rate of female rats was found to be slightly faster than that of male rats. 5) The ulcer reducing rates of the aldioxa (ALD) and sucralfate (SUC) treated group were significantly faster than that of the control group. However, no difference in the ulcer reducing process between the cimetidine (CIM) treated group and the control group was observed. 6) The ulcer indices (UI) of both the combinations of ALD and SUC and of ALD and CIM were found to be significantly less than that of the control group on the 20th day. Treatment with drug combinations shortened the healing period of ulcers more than treatment with one drug alone. The percent healing by the combination of ALD and SUC was the highest among the groups treated. 7) An approximately linear relationship exists between the logarithm of the days after ulcer induction (x) and logarithm of UI (y), and the following equation was obtained: log y = a log x + b. Slope (a) indicates the ulcer reducing rate in evaluating the ulcer reducing process.
