Different effects of omeprazole and Sch 28080 on canine cerebrospinal fluid production.
We investigated the effects of omeprazole and Sch 28080, a more specific and a more potent inhibitor of K+,H+-ATPase than omeprazole, in canine cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production. CSF production was measured by ventriculocisternal perfusion (VCP) technique in three groups (n = 10 in each group) of anesthetized, paralyzed and mechanically ventilated dogs. Group I served as control, Sch 28080 (10(-4) mol/l of synthetic CSF) was added to VCP in group II, and omeprazole (10(-5) mol/l of synthetic CSF) was added to VCP in group III, after baseline control CSF production had been determined at 15, 30, 45, and 60 min. Comparing the three groups, the mean baseline values for CSF production did not differ significantly. However, the percent decreases in CSF production in the omeprazole treated group were 26 +/- 17 and 24 +/- 13 at 210 and 225 min, which were significantly more than the respective values in the control group. Percent decrease in CSF production in Sch 28080 was not significantly different from that in the control group. We conclude that in the canine model, physiological doses of omeprazole decrease CSF production by about 26%. However, the effect is independent of the K+,H+-ATPase activity, since Sch 28080 which is more potent than omeprazole did not significantly affect CSF production.
