Abstract

Tegoprazan [(<i>S</i>)-4-((5,7-difluorochroman-4-yl)oxy)-<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>,2-trimethyl-1<i>H</i>-benzo[d]imidazole-6-carboxamide], a potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB), is a novel potent and highly selective inhibitor of gastric H<sup>+</sup>/K<sup>+</sup>-ATPase. Tegoprazan inhibited porcine, canine, and human H<sup>+</sup>/K<sup>+</sup>-ATPases in vitro with IC<sub>50</sub> values ranging from 0.29 to 0.52 <i>μ</i>M, while that for canine kidney Na<sup>+</sup>/K<sup>+</sup>-ATPase was more than 100 <i>μ</i>M. A kinetic analysis revealed that tegoprazan inhibited H<sup>+</sup>/K<sup>+</sup>-ATPase in a potassium-competitive manner and the binding was reversible. Oral single administrations of tegoprazan ranging from 0.3 to 30 mg/kg in dogs were well absorbed into the blood stream and distributed in gastric tissue/fluid higher than in plasma. Tegoprazan potently inhibited histamine-induced gastric acid secretion in dogs, and a complete inhibition was observed at 1.0 mg/kg starting from 1 hour after administration. Moreover, an oral administration of tegoprazan at 1 and 3 mg/kg reversed the pentagastrin-induced acidified gastric pH to the neutral range. Interestingly, 3 mg/kg tegoprazan immediately evoked a gastric phase III contraction of the migrating motor complex in pentagastrin-treated dogs and similar effects was observed with the other P-CAB, vonoprazan. Tegoprazan is the novel P-CAB that may provide a new option for the therapy of gastric acid–related and motility-impaired diseases.
