Acotiamide is a potent, selective and reversible inhibitor of human and canine stomach-derived acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Acotiamide showed no affinity for dopamine D2 or serotonin 5-HT4 receptors but does have activity as a muscarinic antagonist. It acts as a prokinetic drug through acetylcholinesterase inhibition and muscarinic receptor antagonism, and has been used for the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD) involving gastric motility dysfunction.
Potent, selective and reversible inhibitor of human and canine stomach-derived acetylcholinesterase (AChE).
Acotiamide is a first-in-class prokinetic drug approved in Japan for the treatment of functional dyspepsia. Given that acotiamide enhances gastric motility in conscious dogs and rats, we assessed the in vitro effects of this drug on the contraction of guinea

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a relatively common gastrointestinal clinical condition that remains poorly understood. Controversies remain regarding the definition, pathophysiology and optimum treatment. The current treatment of FD is limited and no established regimen is available. Recent advances have improved
The prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has been increasing worldwide, with proton pump inhibitor (PPI) administration the current mainstay therapy for affected individuals. However, PPI efficacy is insufficient especially for non-erosive reflux disease. Although it has been reported that
