Effects of Itopride Hydrochloride on Plasma Gut-Regulatory Peptide and Stress-Related Hormone Levels in Healthy Human Subjects

Abstract: Itopride hydrochloride (itopride), a gastrokinetic drug, has recently been evaluated for its clinical usefulness in functional dyspepsia. We investigated effects of itopride on human plasma gastrin-, somatostatin-, motilin-, and cholecystokinin (CCK)-like immunoreactive substances (IS); adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-immunoreactive substances (IS), and cortisol under stress conditions in healthy subjects. A single administration of itopride caused significant increases in plasma somatostatin- and motilin-I… Show more

“…Both positron emission tomography studies and gastric barostat studies showed a decreased postprandial volume of the proximal stomach in healthy volunteers after itopride pre‐treatment 15, 16 . Finally, an effect of itopride, which is likely to cross the blood–brain barrier, 17 on integration of TLESRs in the brainstem cannot be excluded, but is difficult to study in man.…”

“…In a study by Russo et al, comparing gut peptide levels between 42 PDS and 12 EPS patients, somatostatin levels tended to be lower in PDS compared to EPS but this did not reach statistical significance (34). Itopride, a prokinetic agent with mixed dopamine-2 receptor and cholinesterase inhibitory actions, was reported to acutely increase somatostatin plasma levels (35). The somatostatin analog octreotide was reported to slow gastric emptying, enhance fasting gastric volumes and suppress mealinduced volume increments in healthy subjects (36).…”
