The discovery of the antiulcer activity of H2 antihistamine antagonists has revolutionized the treatment of that disease. A benzimidazole. Omeprazole (55), inhibits gastric secretion and subsequent ulcer formation by a quite different mechanism. Studies at the molecular level suggest that this compound inhibits K /H dependent ATPase and consequently shuts down the proton pumping action of this enzyme system. 

Cytochrome P450 2C19, also termed S-mephenytoin hydroxylase, is a mixed-function oxidase localized in the endoplasmic reticulum which is responsible for the biotransformation of S-mephenytoin, some barbiturates, almost all proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole, diazepam and others. 

The proton pump inhibitors are contraindicated in patients who have hypersensitivity to any of the drags. Omeprazole (Pregnancy Category C) and lansoprazole, rabeprazole, and pantoprazole (Pregnancy Category B) are contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation. The proton pump inhibitors are used cautiously in older adults and in patients with hepatic impairment.

The histamine2-receptor antagonists or H2RAs (cimetidine, famotidine, nizatidine, and ranitidine) and proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, pantopra-zole, and rabeprazole) reduce the amount of acid secreted into the stomach by gastric parietal cells. These agents are also helpful for nausea and vomiting related to gastric acid secretion. 

Other agents that appear to be safe for use in pregnancy include the proton pump inhibitors, sucralfate, and meto-clopromide (Table 44-5). The proton pump inhibitor with the largest body of human safety data during pregnancy is omeprazole.24...

Polymorphisms of CYP2C19 cause differences in metabolism of omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor used for treatment of gastroduodenal ulcers or reflux esophagitis. Such polymorphisms result in resistance to treatment at a standard dose regimen in nearly 20% of European Caucasians, and in an even higher percentage of Asians [12]. 

Fig. 2. Median gastric pH is elevated about 2 log by 20 mg of omeprazole in H. pylori-negative healthy subjects, and by 4 log in H. pylo-n -positive ones [based on data from 42], Hp = H. pylori, PPI = proton pump inhibitor. 

The answer is d. (Hardman, pp 907-909J Omeprazole inhibits H+,K+,ATPase, which effectively stops the proton pump and thus prevents the formation of gastric acid. It is the most effective agent in severe cases of ulceration and esophageal reflux. 

The answer is d. (Hardman 7 pp 907—909J The main action of omeprazole is the inhibition of secretion of gastric acid Because it is a specific inhibitor of the proton pump (H+,K+,ATPase), other actions are secondary to the marked decline of acid secretion. As a result of the reduction of gastric acidity, there is increased secretion of gastrin leading to hyper-gastrinemia. 

The answers are 406-c, 407-g. (Hardman, pp 907—9097 926-927.) Omeprazole, which is an inhibitor of the parietal cell H+,lC,ATPase pump (proton pump), is the most effective means of decreasing gastric acidity This makes it the ideal agent to treat Zollinger-Ellis on syndrome, which results from increased gastric secretion due to gastrinomas.

AstraZeneca launched omeprazole in 1988. It is a safe and effective drug for acid reflux, functioning as a proton pump inhibitor. However, the patent has expired and AstraZeneca has to compete against generics. The company developed the active isomer and called it esomeprazole. It was approved by the Mutual Recognition process in Europe in July 2000, and by the US Food and Drug Administration in February 2001. The chemical formulas for omeprazole and esomeprazole are shown below. 

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), such as omeprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole, and rabeprazole, are commonly prescribed to treat symptoms of heartburn, acid reflux, chest pain, dyspepsia, and chronic cough. PPIs inhibit the transfer of protons into the stomach lumen. Pharmacological acid suppression is thus used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and esophagitis, peptic ulcers, and Helicobacter pylori infection as well as to prevent ulcer development with concurrent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use.

Proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole may mask the symptoms of gastric cancer. Omeprazole is best avoided during breast-feeding. The prescription is indicative of triple therapy used as eradication therapy in H. pylori infection. 

Both omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor and paclitaxel, a taxane cytotoxic may cause nausea and vomiting as side-effects. Prednisolone, as with other corticosteroids, does not cause nausea and vomiting. Corticosteroids such as dexamethasone are administered to relieve nausea and vomiting, particularly that associated with chemotherapy. 

Omeprazole is classified as a proton pump inhibitor, as it acts by blocking the hydrogen-potassium adenosine triphosphate enzyme system of the gastric parietal cells. Omeprazole therefore inhibits gastric acid release. Common side-effects associated with omeprazole include diarrhoea, headache, nausea and vomiting. Concurrent administration of omeprazole and phenytoin results in enhanced effects of phenytoin, which may lead to phenytoin toxicity. 

Losec consists of omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor. Proton pump inhibitors are acid-labile. Losec consists of enteric-coated granules that are encapsulated. Patients are advised to swallow the capsule whole. 

Omeprazole (p. 167) can cause maximal inhibition of HCl secretion. Given orally in gastric juice-resistant capsules, it reaches parietal cells via the blood. In the acidic milieu of the mucosa, an active metabolite is formed and binds covalently to the ATP-driven proton pump (H+/K+ ATPase) that transports H+ in exchange for IC into the gastric juice. Lansoprazole and pantoprazole produce analogous effects. The proton pump inhibitors are first-line drugs for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Omeprazole is an antiulcer drug. It is a proton pump inhibitor. This substituted benzimidazole inhibits gastric acid secretion to help acid/peptic disorders and duodenal ulcers. It interferes with the proton pump in the mucous lining of the stomach, the last stage of acid production. It can turn off stomach acid in as little as one hour. Lansoprazole (no. 12) has a similar structure.
