| Bioactivity | Lafutidine (FRG-8813) is a histamine H2-receptor antagonist (H2RA), with proven gastric mucosal protective effects. Lafutidine can be used for the research of gastroesophageal reflux disease[1]. | ||||||||||||
| Target | Histamine H2-receptor | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Lafutidine exhibits gastric mucosal protective action mediated by capsaicin-sensitive afferent neurons, in addition to a potent antisecretory effect[2].Lafutidine (0.1-10 µM) significantly augments the periarterial nerve stimulation (PNS, 1 Hz) induced-vasodilation in a concentration-dependent manner in rat perfused mesenteric vascular beds[2]. | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | Lafutidine (3-30 mg/kg; p.o.; twice daily; for 6 days) dose-dependently reduces the severity of dextran sulfate Na (DSS)-induced colitis and significantly mitigates changes in the colon length and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity[3]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
