title: Prostaglandin-sensitive adenylate cyclase in human gastric mucosa. Inhibition by nonsteroid anti-inflammatory agents.
abstract: The effects of various nonsteroid anti-inflammatory compounds on human gastric mucosal adenylate cyclase were tested. It is shown that fenamates, indomethacin and diclofenac-Na were relatively specific inhibitors of prostaglandin E2 action at the level of the mucosal cyclase activity. The results suggest that inhibition of prostaglandin E2-activated adenylate cyclase might at least in part contribute to the ulcerogenic effects of certain nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs.
