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.

The pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy, adverse effects, and dosage and administration of omeprazole are reviewed. Omeprazole, a substituted benzimidazole, has a unique site and mechanism of action because it inhibits the proton pump--i.e., hydrogen, potassium adenosine triphosphatase (H+,K+-ATPase)--and consequently blocks the final common step in the gastric acid secretory pathway. Omeprazole inhibits basal and histamine-, gastrin- and pentagastrin-stimulated gastric hydrochloric acid secretion. It produces a dose-dependent reduction in gastric acidity, gastric acid output, and gastric juice volume and has variable effects on pepsin secretion. Omeprazole has no documented effect on esophageal motility or lower esophageal sphincter pressure. Omeprazole is variably absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and food appears to decrease the rate, but not the extent, of drug absorption. The drug is approximately 95% bound to plasma proteins and is metabolized to inactive components that are enterohepatically or renally eliminated. Omeprazole is more effective (in most studies) than H2-receptor antagonists in treating duodenal ulcer, at least as effective in treating benign gastric ulcer, and more effective in treating reflux esophagitis. Omeprazole has been used successfully in patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome refractory to treatment with H2-receptor antagonists. Gastrointestinal complaints (nausea and diarrhea) are the most commonly reported adverse effects associated with omeprazole therapy. The most frequently reported laboratory abnormality occurring with omeprazole use is elevation of serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase concentrations. Omeprazole will serve a valuable role in the management of gastrointestinal tract ulcers and hypersecretory conditions.

The pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, efficacy, safety, and dosage and administration of lansoprazole and omeprazole are reviewed. Lansoprazole and omeprazole are proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs). These agents bind covalently to hydrogen/potassium-exchanging adenosine triphosphatase in gastric parietal cells, rendering the molecule nonfunctional and inhibiting the secretion of gastric acid. The bioavailability of lansoprazole is 85%; that of omeprazole is 54%. Although lansoprazole and omeprazole have a plasma half-life of less than 2 hours, the duration of action is more than 24 hours. Clinical trials have shown lansoprazole and omeprazole to be effective in the treatment of duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, peptic ulcer disease involving Helicobacter pylori infection, recurrent ulcers, ulcers induced by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, reflux esophagitis, Barrett esophagus, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. In many cases, these PPIs were more effective than histamine H2-receptor antagonists or worked when the latter failed. Lansoprazole and omeprazole have similar adverse-effect profiles and are well tolerated in both long- and short-term therapy. The dosage and duration of therapy vary with the condition being treated or the individual patient. Dosage adjustments should be considered only in the case of lansoprazole in patients with severe liver disease. Lansoprazole and omeprazole are highly specific in blocking a critical step in gastric acid production and have been found to be safe and effective in the treatment of many acid peptic disorders.

Lansoprazole is the second member of the substituted benzimidazole class of antisecretory agents approved for use in the United States. These drugs decrease parietal cell acid secretion by inhibiting H+, K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase, the final step in the secretion of acid. Lansoprazole has been studied extensively for the short-term treatment of duodenal and gastric ulcers, reflux esophagitis, and Helicobacter pylori-positive peptic ulcer disease; long-term treatment of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome; and maintenance treatment of erosive esophagitis. A dosage of 30 mg/day produced higher healing rates and equivalent or faster relief of ulcer symptoms than ranitidine or famotidine in patients with duodenal or gastric ulcers and reflux esophagitis. Compared with omeprazole 20 mg/day, that dosage provided faster epigastric pain relief in these patients after 1 week, although healing rates for the two agents were equivalent at 4 and 8 weeks. In patients with peptic ulcer refractory to 8-week therapy with histamine2-receptor antagonists, healing rates were not significantly different between lansoprazole and omeprazole. In patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, lansoprazole was superior to histamine2-receptor antagonists and was similar in efficacy, safety, and duration of action to omeprazole. Combinations of lansoprazole or omeprazole with one or two antibiotics produced equivalent eradication of H. pylori. In clinical trials, lansoprazole was well tolerated, with frequency of adverse effects similar to that reported with ranitidine, famotidine, and omeprazole.

The gastric H,K-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) is the primary target for treatment of acid-related diseases. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are weak bases composed of two moieties, a substituted pyridine with a primary pK(a) of about 4.0 that allows selective accumulation in the secretory canaliculus of the parietal cell, and a benzimidazole with a second pK(a) of about 1.0. Protonation of this benzimidazole activates these prodrugs, converting them to sulfenic acids and/or sulfenamides that react covalently with one or more cysteines accessible from the luminal surface of the ATPase. The maximal pharmacodynamic effect of PPIs as a group relies on cyclic adenosine monophosphate-driven H,K-ATPase translocation from the cytoplasm to the canalicular membrane of the parietal cell. At present, this effect can only be achieved with protein meal stimulation. Because of covalent binding, inhibitory effects last much longer than their plasma half-life. However, the short dwell-time of the drug in the blood and the requirement for acid activation impair their efficacy in acid suppression, particularly at night. All PPIs give excellent healing of peptic ulcer and produce good, but less than satisfactory, results in reflux esophagitis. PPIs combined with antibiotics eradicate Helicobacter pylori, but success has fallen to less than 80%. Longer dwell-time PPIs promise to improve acid suppression and hence clinical outcome. Potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) are another class of ATPase inhibitors, and at least one is in development. The P-CAB under development has a long duration of action even though its binding is not covalent. PPIs with a longer dwell time or P-CABs with long duration promise to address unmet clinical needs arising from an inability to inhibit nighttime acid secretion, with continued symptoms, delayed healing, and growth suppression of H. pylori reducing susceptibility to clarithromycin and amoxicillin. Thus, novel and more effective suppression of acid secretion would benefit those who suffer from acid-related morbidity, continuing esophageal damage and pain, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced ulcers, and nonresponders to H. pylori eradication.
