General description

Itopride hydrochloride is a new prokinetic drug.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Itopride hydrochloride enhances the gastrointestinal motility by blocking the activity of dopamine on the D2 receptors, on the post-synaptic cholinergic nerves and by inducing the liberation of acetylcholine in the myenteric plexus. It also inhibits the hydrolysis of the released acetylcholine with the help of acetylcholinesterase.
Itopride is an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor and D2 dopamine receptor antagonist. Itopride is used as a gastroprokinetic agent.

To estimate the effect of a new gastroprokinetic agent, N-[4-[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy]benzyl]-3,4-dimethoxybenzamide hydrochloride (HSR-803), on non-ulcer dyspepsia, the influence of HSR-803 on gastrointestinal propulsion was assayed in dogs, rats and mice in comparison with some gastroprokinetic agents. HSR-803 (30 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly

A novel water-soluble dopamine-2 antagonist, N-[4-[2-(dimethylamino) ethoxy]benzyl]-3,4-dimethoxybenzamide hydrochloride (HSR-803) was synthesized and assayed for its gastrointestinal smooth muscle stimulating activity in vivo and in vitro. In the in vivo study, gastrointestinal contractile activity was measured by means of chronically implanted
