A series of substituted 2-pyridinecarbothioamides was synthesized and evaluated for gastric mucosal protectant activity in the rat. Out of this investigation N-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-2- pyridinecarbothioamide (23, AY-31,574) was identified. This compound was much more potent than sucralfate and ranitidine against ethanol-induced lesions. Compound 23 was equipotent with ranitidine against gastric injury caused by stress. Unlike ranitidine, 23 was found to be devoid of antisecretory activity in the pylorus-ligated rat model, making it a selective mucosal protectant. Such a potent selective mucosal protectant may provide a novel clinical approach in treating ulcers.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a prevalent gastrointestinal disease characterized by the chronical and refractory inflammation of colorectal mucosa and walls, which severely impairs overall well-being of individuals. Probiotics has shown tremendous promise for UC therapy due to its multifaceted mucosal barrier restoration and immunomodulation capabilities. Nevertheless, the successful administration of probiotics remains a clinical obstacle.
