General description

Esomeprazole is the (S)-isomer of omeprazole. It blocks the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme and lowers the release of hydrochloric acid by gastric parietal cells. Esomeprazole is used for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Application

Esomeprazole magnesium hydrate has been used to induce intracellular acidification in an ATP12A-independent manner.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Esomeprazole magnesium dihydrate is a leading proton pump inhibitor.

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been recognized as a primary treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), an allergic inflammatory disease of the esophageal mucosa. The mechanisms underlying esophageal epithelial responses to PPIs remain poorly understood. We hypothesized that PPIs can counteract
