Bioactivity | Abeprazan (DWP14012) is a potassium-competitive acid blocker. Abeprazan inhibits H+, K+- ATPase by reversible potassium-competitive ionic binding with no acid activation required. Abeprazan is developed as a potential alternative to proton pump inhibitor for the treatment of acid-related diseases[1]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | The mechanism of action of Abeprazan is reversibly binding to H+, K+‐ATPase, and, unlike that of PPIs, does not require acidic environment for drug activation[1]. | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | Abeprazan inhibits acid secretion in a dose-dependent manner and the inhibition of gastric acid secretion was equal to or greater than that of vonoprazan, a previously approved P-CAB, in various in vivo studies using pylorus-ligated rats, lumen-perfused rat models and heidenhain pouch dog models[1]. | ||||||||||||
