Effects of YF476, a potent and selective gastrin/cholecystokinin-B receptor antagonist, on gastric acid secretion in beagle dogs with gastric fistula.

The antisecretory effects of the gastrin/cholecystokinin-B (CCK-B) receptor antagonist YF476 ((R)-1-[2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-1-pivaloylmethyl-5-(2'-pyridyl) 1H-1,4-benzodiazepin-3-yl]-3-(3-methylaminophenyl)-urea, CAS 155488-25-8) on secretagogue- and peptone-induced gastric acid secretion in beagle dogs with chronic gastric fistula were examined. Plasma gastrin concentrations were evaluated following introduction of peptone into the stomach. Intravenous administration of YF476 dose-dependently inhibited pentagastrin (1 microgram/kg/h)-induced gastric acid secretion, with an ED50 value of 0.

Gastrin receptor antagonist YM022 prevents hypersecretion after long-term acid suppression.

Female rats were treated orally for 13 wk with YM022 (300 mumol.kg-1.day-1) and with omeprazole (400 mumol.
