The gastric antisecretory properties of omeprazole, a new potent substituted benzimidazole, have been evaluated in dogs and rats. Omeprazole was compared with another benzimidazole, picoprazole (H 149/94), and with the histamine H2-receptor antagonist cimetidine. The intravenous or intraduodenal administration of omeprazole in the gastric fistula dog inhibited histamine- and pentagastrin-stimulated acid secretion. The intravenous and intraduodenal, ED50 values for inhibition of histamine-stimulated secretion were 0.35 and 0.26 mumol/kg, respectively. Omeprazole was found to be approximately 5-10 times more potent than both picoprazole and cimetidine. After oral omeprazole administration in the Heidenhain pouch dog, the ED50 on histamine-stimulated acid secretion was found to be 1.2 mumol/kg, which corresponded to a potency 2 and 3.5 times greater than that of cimetidine and picoprazole, respectively. Measurement of the plasma concentration of unchanged omeprazole revealed an intraduodenal bioavailability of approximately 70% whereas the oral bioavailability was only approximately 15%. This variation is probably a result of partial degradation of omeprazole in the acid gastric juice. Single intraduodenal doses of omeprazole had a long-lasting inhibitory effect on histamine-stimulated acid secretion in the dog. After a dose of omeprazole, which produced total inhibition initially, the antisecretory effect was detectable for 3-4 days. Omeprazole inhibited basal and stimulated acid secretion in the rat. The intravenous ED50 was calculated to be 1.5 mumol/kg, whereas the oral potency was about 10 times lower. The effect in the rat was also of long duration. After a dose giving maximal inhibition, control acid secretion was restored after approximately 13 h.
