The gastric antisecretory activity of 3-methoxy-5,7,3′4′-tetrahydroxyflavan (ME)—a specific histidine decarboxylase inhibitor in rats

Abstract: 3-Methoxy-5,7,3'4'-tetrahydroxyflavan (ME), a specific histidine decarboxylase inhibitor, has been shown to significantly reduce the gastric acid secretion and gastric tissue histamine levels in 6 h pylorus ligated rats. It has been found to be as effective as cimetidine in reducing the gastric acid secretion. However, cimetidine does not affect the gastric tissues histamine levels in the normal or pylorus ligated rats. These observations clearly establish that the two drugs reduce the gastric acid secretion b… Show more

“…Four hours after ligation, Stomachs were dissected out and contents were collected into tubes. Volume, pH, free acid and total acid content [15] of gastric juice were determined. The stomach was opened along the greater curvature and examined for ulcers.…”

“…This effect can be caused by different mechanisms. For example, Parmar and Hennnings (1984) showed that gastric antisecretory activity is as effective at reducing gastric acid secretion as cimetidine (Parmar and Hennings, 1984), and it has been reported that acid output inhibition by greater than 40% is sufficient to prevent the development of esophagitis (Okabe et al, 1995). Furthermore, it has been proposed that gastric acid is essential for esophageal mucosal damage (Bell et al, 1992).…”

“…The pH of the gastric juice was measured using a pH meter (Elico, Hyderabad, India). Total acidity were determined by titrating with 0.01 N NaOH using Topfer's reagent and phenolphthalein as indicator (Parmar & Hennings, 1984).…”
