In enriched canine parietal cell preparations, misoprostol, an analog of prostaglandin E1 methyl ester, was rapidly deesterified to misoprostol free acid. Under this circumstance, misoprostol and misoprostol free acid exhibited equal antisecretory potency against histamine-stimulated acid secretion and bound equally well to prostaglandin E receptors. When the deesterification of misoprostol was inhibited by paraoxon, an esterase inhibitor, the antisecretory and receptor binding activity of misoprostol was markedly reduced, with potency much less than misoprostol free acid. These results indicate that misoprostol free acid is the active biological form of misoprostol that binds to prostaglandin E receptors and mediates the antisecretory action of misoprostol.

Gastroprotective Effect of Quercetin and Misoprostol in Ethanol-Induced Gastric Ulcer in Rats.
Turk J Gastroenterol
November 2024
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Sulaimani Collefe of Pharmacy, Sulaimani, Iraq.
Background/aims: This study aimed to evaluate the possible synergistic gastroprotective activity of quercetin and misoprostol in gastric ulcers induced by ethanol in rats.
Materials And Methods: Male Wister albino rats were allocated into 6 groups: Negative control, positive control, esomeprazole, quercetin, misoprostol, and a combination of quercetin and misoprostol. All the treatment groups except for the negative control were challenged with a single dose of ethanol (90%) after 14 days of treatment.
Troxerutin effect on gastric ulcers induced by ketorolac in rats: Relation with oxidative stress.
Heliyon
October 2024
Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Damascus University, Damascus, Syria.
Article Synopsis
- Gastric ulcers can occur as a side effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) due to free radicals, leading researchers to investigate troxerutin, known for its antioxidant properties, as a potential preventive measure.
- A study with twenty-nine rats tested the effects of troxerutin and misoprostol against the gastric ulcers induced by ketorolac, measuring ulcer severity and oxidative stress markers.
- The results indicated that both troxerutin and misoprostol reduced ulcer severity and oxidative stress, suggesting that troxerutin may be effective in preventing NSAID-induced gastric ulcers.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Botswana, Notwane Rd, Gaborone, Botswana.
Background: Most treatments for postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) lack evidence of effectiveness. New innovations are ubiquitous but have not been synthesized for ready access.
Narrative Review: Pubmed 2020 to 2021 was searched on 'postpartum haemorrhage treatment', and novel reports among 755 citations were catalogued.
Women satisfaction on choosing the cervical ripening method: Oral misoprostol versus balloon catheter.
Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol X
September 2023
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Strasbourg University Hospital, 1 Avenue Moliere, 67200 Strasbourg, France.
Objective: Induction of labor concerns about 29 % of women in Unites States and 33 % in Europe. Among the various methods for cervical ripening, the efficacy and safety profiles of oral misoprostol and balloon catheter are comparable, but data in the literature on maternal satisfaction during induction of labor are few. The objective of this study was to assess the satisfaction of women who chose the method of cervical ripening, i.
