title: The gastric antisecretory activity of 3-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline-8-thiocarboxamide hydrochloride (tiquinamide).
abstract: 3-Methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline-8-thiocarboxamide hydrochloride (tiquinamide) possesses potent gastric antisecretory activity in a number of animal species. It causes a marked inhibition in the volume and concentration of basal and chemically-stimulated gastric acid secretion in the conscious rat and guinea-pig, and of chemically-stimulated secretion in the anaesthetised cat, dog and monkey. Marked activity is also seen in conscious Heidenhain-pouch dogs, against secretion stimulated by betazole and gastrin tetrapeptide. In the pylorus-ligated rat preparation, the antisecretory effect of 30 mg/kg tiquinamide persists for 8-9 h. The possible mode of action of this drug, in view of its wide non-selective antisecretory profile, is discussed.
