Diseases of the colon and rectum, 35(9), 857-861 (1992-09-01)
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the opioid loperamide and its recently synthesized pharmacologically inactive prodrug loperamide oxide on the anal sphincter. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study, anorectal manometry was performed in 12 healthy
E Beubler et al.
The Journal of pharmacy and pharmacology, 42(10), 689-692 (1990-10-01)
The antidiarrhoeal effect of loperamide is caused by its antimotility and antisecretory properties. In-vivo experiments in the rat jejunum and colon have been performed to compare the antisecretory effect of loperamide with the effect of its prodrug, loperamide oxide. Both

Mucosal loperamide inhibited the absorption of glycine by everted sacs of rat small intestine over 10-, 30- or 60-min incubation periods, but loperamide oxide was without effect. In stripped intestinal sheets, loperamide inhibited the rise in short-circuit current associated with

Digestive diseases and sciences, 37(2), 198-204 (1992-02-01)
This crossover, double-blind study investigated the effects of single oral doses of the prodrug loperamide oxide, which is reduced gradually to loperamide in the intestine, and loperamide on jejunal motor activity in 12 fasting healthy men. Five minutes after a
