title: Protective effect of DS-4574 on gastric mucosal injury induced by acidified ethanol in rats.
abstract: We compared the protective effect of DS-4574, a peptidoleukotriene receptor antagonist with mast cell stabilizing action, on rat gastric mucosal injury induced by acidified ethanol to that of LY171883, a selective peptidoleukotriene receptor antagonist. Oral treatment with DS-4574 (1-10 mg/kg) or LY171883 (100 and 300 mg/kg) markedly suppressed this mucosal necrosis. Moreover, DS-4574 (10 mg/kg) significantly inhibited both mucosal edema and degranulation of mucosal mast cells. LY171883 (300 mg/kg) protected only from mucosal edema, but not degranulation of mucosal mast cells. These results suggest that DS-4574 possesses protective actions against gastric injury including the reduction of degranulation of mucosal mast cells, which are different from those of LY171883.
