ABSTRACT
Background/Aims@#This study was conducted to investigate the inhibitory effect of irsogladine maleate (IM) on gastric ulcers induced by ethanol and hydrochloric acid (HCl). @*Methods@#Mice were pretreated with IM for 1 hours before ulcer induction. Gastric ulcers were induced by oral administration of an ethanol/HCl mixture. To clarify the action mechanism of IM, the roles of 3ʹ5ʹ-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), nitric oxide (NO), adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium (KATP ) channels, prostaglandins and transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) were investigated, and lipid peroxidation in the stomach of IM-treated and -untreated animals was also measured. @*Results@#IM significantly reduced the extent of ethanol/HCl mixture-induced gastric ulceration. It exhibited dose-related gastroprotection against the ethanol/ HCl-induced lesions, while pretreatment with glibenclamide but not N(ω)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, reversed this action. While pretreatment with the TRPV1 antagonist capsazepine failed to effectively block the gastroprotective effect of IM, the non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin almost abolished it. IM also decreased the level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. @*Conclusions@#We concluded that IM exhibited significant gastroprotective effects in an ethanol/HCl-induced ulcer model, which appear to be mediated, at least in part, by NO, cAMP, endogenous prostaglandins, KATP channel opening, activation of TRPV1 channels, and antioxidant properties.
