ABSTRACT
Obiective To investigate acid-suppression efficacy of proton pump inhibitors(PPls) in relation to CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism on patients with peptic ulcer. Methods By an open, randomized and control trial, fifty nine patients with active peptic ulcer were randomly assigned to receive one of three PPIs on a single dose (20 mg of each drug): omeprazole group (n=19), rabeprazole group (n=20) and esomeprazole group (n=20). lntragastric pH was recorded 1 hour before and 24 hours after administration. CYP2C19 genotype was tested in all patients. Resuits The EMs/PMs ratio of each group was 16/3,17/3 and 17/3, respectively. The total time that intragastric pH＞4, time percent pH＞4 and median pH in PMs patients were significantly higher than those in EMs patients of omeprazole group (P＜0.05). But all these differences were not found in rabeprazole group and esomeprazole group. The pH of nocturnal acid breakthrough (NAB) in both rabeprazole group and esomeprazole group was higher than that of omeprazole group, while there was no significant difference between rabeprazole group and esomeprazole group. Gonclusion The acid-suppression efficacy of omeprazole is highly dependent on CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism, while CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism may have a little influence on the acid-suppression efficacy of rabeprazole and esomeprazole. The acid-suppression action of rabeprazole and esomeprazole is superior to omeprazole, especially on night acid secretion.
