Human gastric acid secretion following repeated doses of AG-1749

Abstract

The effect of increasing doses (15 mg, 30 mg and 60 mg) of the substituted benzimidazole, AG-1749, on gastric acid secretion and fasting serum gastrin concentration has been studied after repeated administration to healthy volunteers. AG-1749 produced a dose-dependent and profound decrease in basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion in all volunteers, with almost total suppression at the highest dose. The extent of inhibition increased between Day 2 and Day 8 with the 15 and 30 mg doses of AG-1749. The inhibitory effect of AG-1749 appears to be fully reversible as control levels of acid output were reached 7 days after drug withdrawal. Seven days' dosing with 60 mg AG-1749 induced a more than threefold increment of fasting serum gastrin concentration, but this increase was still within the normal range. Seven days after cessation of dosing, fasting serum gastrin concentration returned to a pre-dose level.
