antagonists-cimetidine and ranitidine
Few drugs have so rapidly gained an established place in modern medicine as the histamine H, receptor antagonists. As a result of the inventiveness of James Black and his colleagues, the theoretical concept of a second class of histamine receptors became a therapeutic reality. The failure of classic antihistamine drugs (more appropriately H1 receptor antagonists) to block the actions of histami...
متن کاملInhibition of gastric acid secretion in the dog by the H2-receptor antagonists, ranitidine, cimetidine, and metiamide.
The new H2-receptor antagonist, ranitidine, has been compared with cimetidine and metiamide as an inhibitor of gastric acid secretion in the dog. All three compounds were effective both intravenously or by mouth in inhibiting secretion induced by histamine, pentagastrin, or bethanechol. This inhibition was mainly attributable to a reduction in the volume of secretion, although there was also a ...
متن کاملCimetidine and other H2-receptor antagonists as inhibitors of human E3 aldehyde dehydrogenase.
The histamine H2-receptor antagonists have been identified as inhibitors of human liver aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.3) isozymes, E1, E2, and E3. Inhibition was strongest with the E3 isozyme, whose substrates include gamma-aminobutyraldehyde, the aldehyde metabolites of polyamines, and betaine aldehyde. Burimamide, metiamide, cimetidine guanidine, cimetidine, and tiotidine were competitive ...
متن کاملRanitidine: a new H2-receptor antagonist.
The pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy, adverse reactions, drug interactions, and dosage of ranitidine are reviewed; specific comparisons are made of this new H2-receptor antagonist with the older agent, cimetidine. Ranitidine is a potent inhibitor of gastric acid secretion whose chemical structure lacks the imidazole group previously believed to be essential for H2-receptor bloc...
