Comparative potency of proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) is an important clinical issue. Most available trials have compared the different PPIs at one or a few selected specific dosages, making it difficult to derive quantitative equivalence dosages. Here we derived PPI dose equivalents based on a comprehensive assessment of dose-dependent effects on intragastric pH
The study was carried out to evaluate the anti-ulcerative and gastroprotective effect of DLBS2411, a bioactive fraction from Cinnamomum burmannii (Nees & T. Nees) Blume, in Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus)
This study assessed the gastric acid antisecretory effect of DLBS2411 fractionated from Cinnamomum burmannii. Hydrogen potassium adenosine triphosphatase (H+/K+ ATPase) activity and its gene expression were observed, and the antioxidant activity of DLBS2411 was also investigated. Treatment of DLBS2411 decreased the level of H+/K+ ATPase messenger RNA expression on human embryonic kidney 293 cel…
Mucus therapy is one of the therapies for gastric ulcer management aside from proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and H2-blocker medication. Bioactive fraction DLBS2411 which comes from Cinnamomum burmannii has been identified as a gastric acid anti-secretory agent by inhibiting the activity of hydrogen-potassium adenosine triphosphate (H+/K+ATPase). The study was aimed to evaluate the effect of DL…
Sucralfate, a complex of aluminium hydroxide with sulfated sucrose, forms a strong gastrointestinal tract (GIT) mucosal barrier with excellent anti-ulcer property. Because sucralfate does not undergo any significant oral absorption, sucralfate resides in the GIT for a considerable length of time. The unabsorbed sucralfate may alter the pharmacokinetics of the oral drugs by impeding its absorpti…
DLBS2411, a bioactive fraction of Cinnamomum burmannii, has been proven to exhibit its anti-ulcer properties through preclinical and clinical studies. However, the bioactive compounds, protein targets, and underlying molecular pathways are still poorly known. Therefore, network pharmacology was used in this study to understand the molecular mechanisms of DLBS2411 in treating gastritis. There…
