Nizatidine (N-[2-[[[2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]- 4-thiazolyl]methyl]thio]ethyl]-N'-methyl-2-nitro-1,1-ethenediamine , CAS 76963-41-2) is a new histamine H2-receptor antagonist which shows suppression of gastric acid secretion and antiulcer activity. In the present experiment, the effects of single s.c. administration of nizatidine, cimetidine and ranitidine on serum gastrin levels were studied in fasted rats. Nizatidine at 100 mg/kg increased serum gastrin level 3 h after administration, which however, returned to basal level 6 h after administration. Cimetidine and ranitidine at respective doses of 250 and 100 mg/kg markedly increased serum gastrin levels 3 and 6 h after administration. In a previous study, the suppressive effect of nizatidine on basal gastric acid secretion was 82.8% at a dose of 100 mg/kg s.c. in rat pylrus-ligated model. On the basis of these findings, changes in basal gastric acid secretion and serum gastrin level after withdrawal of nizatidine, cimetidine and ranitidine administered for 14 consecutive days were studied. One day after withdrawal, nizatidine at 100 mg/kg showed a tendency to increase the basal gastric acid secretion. However, 3 and 7 days after administration, almost no changes were obtained. Cimetidine at 250 mg/kg showed a tendency to increase the basal gastric acid secretion 7 days after withdrawal of the drug. Ranitidine at 100 mg/kg induced no changes in basal gastric acid secretion after withdrawal. No obvious influences of all drugs on serum gastrin level after withdrawals were obtained. These results indicate that consecutive administration of nizatidine may cause only a transient increase of gastric acid secretion but no hypergastrinaemia after its withdrawal.

Nizatidine (LY139037), a selective histamine H2-receptor antagonist, is a potent inhibitor of gastric acid secretion. It was 17.8 times as active as cimetidine on histamine (10(-5) M)-induced secretion from the isolated gastric mucosa of the bullfrog. Nizatidine was 8.9 times as active as cimetidine on basal acid secretion of the chronic gastric fistula rats after s.c. administration. Against acid secretion from the vagally innervated gastric fistula and Heidenhain pouch of dogs stimulated with submaximal doses of histamine, methacholine and gastrin, nizatidine was, respectively, 6.5, 5 and 4.7 times as active as cimetidine by i.v. administration. Nizatidine was very well absorbed from the gut and was 5 to 10 times as active as cimetidine on gastric acid secretion of dogs induced by submaximal and maximal doses of histamine when given p.o. Equal molar doses of nizatidine showed equal peak effects when given i.v., s.c. or i.m. Pharmacological data indicate that nizatidine is safe and effective as an agent for the control of excessive gastric acid secretion.

An evening oral dose of nizatidine, a new H2-receptor antagonist, was tested for its ability to suppress nocturnal gastric acid secretion and to inhibit food stimulated acid secretion the following day. Using a double-blind, randomized, cross-over design, nizatidine 30, 100, and 300 mg and placebo were compared in 8 male subjects with basal acid secretion greater than or equal to 3 mmol/h. Continuous nasogastric suction was started 2 h after oral dosing, and acid secretion was measured hourly overnight. Phenol red was used to determine the completeness of gastric aspiration. The following day, food stimulated acid secretion in response to 8% peptone meals was measured by intragastric titration to determine the carry-over effect of nizatidine. Serum gastrin levels were measured by RIA. Nizatidine inhibited overnight acid secretion in a dose-related manner with 30, 100, and 300 mg producing 57, 73, and 90% suppression. The effect was long-lasting, with nizatidine 300 mg decreasing acid secretion by 52% 10 h after administration. Peptone stimulated acid secretion on the following day was not inhibited by nizatidine. Gastrin levels did not differ significantly among the treatment groups. Nizatidine's effects on nocturnal acid secretion therefore resemble other H2-receptor antagonists.
