CR 1409, a glutaramic acid derivative with competitive cholecystokinin-antagonistic activity, was administered IP and evaluated in comparison with proglumide (the model CCK-receptor antagonist), gabexate (protease inhibitor) and PGE2 (cytoprotective) on two different models of experimental pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis was induced in mice by six IP injections of 50 micrograms/kg caerulein at hourly intervals. The drugs were administered 30 minutes before each caerulein administration. Blood samples and pancreata were collected 3 hours after the last caerulein injection. In the second experiment, pancreatitis was induced in rats by injecting 0.3 ml 6% sodium taurocholate interstitially into the pancreas. The drugs were administered twice, 30 minutes before and 3 hours after taurocholate. The animals were killed 6 hours after laparotomy and blood samples and pancreata were collected. CR 1409 exhibited on both pancreatitis models a protective effect in a dose range of 0.3-10 mg/kg. Proglumide exhibited a protective activity at higher doses (200-400 mg/kg). Gabexate and PGE2 were effective only in pancreatitis induced by taurocholate in a dose range of 30-60 mg/kg and 60-130 micrograms/kg respectively. These results, showing a high protective effect of CR 1409 on different models of acute pancreatitis, suggest an important role of CCK in the pathogenesis of pancreatitis.
