title: Effects of KW-5092, a novel gastroprokinetic agent, on the delayed colonic propulsion in rats.
abstract: The effects of KW-5092, [1-[2-[[[5-(piperidinomethyl)-2- furanyl]methyl]amino]ethyl]-2-imidazolidinylidene]propanedinitr ile fumarate, on the loperamide- or clonidine-induced delayed propulsion were determined in rats and compared with those of other gastroprokinetic agents. Administration of loperamide (0.3 mg/kg, s.c.) or clonidine (0.01 mg/kg, s.c.) induced delay of the evacuation time of the teflon ball, which had been inserted into the distal colon. The delayed evacuation was improved dose-dependently by KW-5092 at 3 to 10 mg/kg (p.o.) or higher. Neostigmine at 0.3 to 3 mg/kg (p.o.) and T-1815 at 1 to 100 mg/kg (p.o.) also improved the delayed ball evacuation. These results suggest that KW-5092 stimulates the delayed colonic propulsion.
