PD 140376 is a highly selective antagonist radioligand for the cholecystokinin(B)-gastrin receptor in guinea pig gastricmucosa & cerebral cortex in the peripheral and central nervous systems.
Tricarbonyldichlororuthenium(II) dimer, a pharmacological CO donor, prevents ischemia reperfusion (I R)-induced oxidative damage to the gastricmucosa by enhancing gastric blood flow (GBF) and reducing DNA oxidation and systemic inflammatory response.
Arbaprostil is a synthetic prostaglandin E analog that protects gastricmucosa, prevents ulceration, and promotes healing of peptic ulcers. The protective effect is independent of acid inhibition. It is also a potent inhibitor of pancreatic function and can inhibit the growth of experimental tumors. Arbaprostil is a prodrug for the potent PGE2.
Manassantin A is a high potent HIF-1 inhibitor, it protects the gastricmucosa from ethanol-induced acute gastric injury, and suggest that these protective effects might be associated with COX PGE2 stimulation, inhibition of iNOS production and NF-κB act
Xenin is a 25 amino acid peptide that has been identified in human gastricmucosa in the search for a counterpart to the amphibian octapeptide xenopsin.
