title: [Effects of 3-hydroxymethyl-2-methylimidazo [2, 1-b] benzothiazole (NIK-228) on gastric acid secretion and various experimental peptic ulcers in rats].
abstract: We examined the antisecretory and antiulcer activities of NIK-228 in rats. Male Wistar rats (200 to 250 g) were used under 24 to 48 hr fasted (without water) conditions. NIK-228 and famotidine were administered orally 1 hr before pylorus ligation, stress or each ulceration inducer. Both NIK-228 (10 to 100 mg/kg) and famotidine (0.3 to 3 mg/kg) dose-dependently inhibited gastric secretion in pylorus ligated rats. Water-immersion stress-, indomethacin- or pylorus ligation (Shay)-induced gastric ulcers were dose-dependently inhibited by NIK-228 (10 to 100 mg/kg), but only water-immersion stress and indomethacin induced ulcers were dose-dependently inhibited by famotidine (0.03 to 3 mg/kg). Ethanol- and 0.6 N HCl-induced gastric lesions were remarkably inhibited by NIK-228 (ED50 = 2.7 and 5.6 mg/kg), but tended to be inhibited also by famotidine (0.3 to 3 mg/kg). Cysteamine-induced duodenal ulcer was inhibited significantly by NIK-228 (30, 100 mg/kg) or famotidine (3 mg/kg). NIK-228 may produce its antiulcer effects via antisecretory and cytoprotective effects. These results suggest that NIK-228 has antisecretory and antiulcer activities.
