The contribution of intracellular storage to hepatic uptake of the high clearance drug, omeprazole, was examined in the recirculating isolated perfused rat liver preparation. Following injection of [3H]omeprazole (7.5 microCi, 5 mg) into the portal vein over 1 min, livers were perfused for 5 min (N = 3) or 30 min (N = 3) and then homogenized at 4 degrees and fractionated by differential centrifugation. Radiolabelled omeprazole and metabolites were determined by scintillation counting of fractions of eluant from HPLC. Seventy per cent of drug had been taken up by the liver at 5 min and 85% at 30 min, with unchanged drug representing 43 and 7.4%, respectively, of drug taken up. At both times, 70-75% of intracellular unchanged drug and the major metabolites were located in the cytosol, and the cytosol:perfusate concentration ratio was approximately 10:1. Mitochondrial, lysosomal and microsomal fractions contained relatively little drug. Extensive cytosolic binding of omeprazole therefore contributes substantially to the initial avid hepatic first-pass uptake of this drug.

Omeprazole is a specific inhibitor in vivo of the functioning gastric acid pump, the H(+)-K(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase), in the secretory canaliculus of the parietal cell. It has been shown previously that omeprazole in rats led to an increase in the mRNA for the alpha-subunit of the H(+)-K(+)-ATPase. Omeprazole causes a marked increase in circulating gastrin in this species, which in turn stimulates release of histamine from the enterochromaffin-like cell. The possible role of this pathway was investigated by the in vivo administration of famotidine, a potent H2 receptor antagonist. A single intraperitoneal dose of famotidine, 200 mg/kg, produced a transient hypergastrinemia peaking at 3 h and normalizing at 12 h, inhibition of secretion that lasted for 12 h, but no change in the level of the alpha-subunit mRNA or of beta-actin mRNA. In contrast, a single dose of omeprazole, 100 mg/kg, inhibited acid secretion and produced hypergastrinemia, peaking at 12 h, both effects lasting for the 24-h observation period. Omeprazole elevated the alpha-subunit mRNA transiently by more than threefold at 3 h, with normal levels being restored at 24 h. The administration of famotidine 1 h after omeprazole did not change the effects of omeprazole on acid secretion but elevated the gastrin levels further. There was now no elevation of the alpha-subunit mRNA for the first 6 h, but a small increase at 12 h and a further increase to approximately 2.5-fold at 24 h.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Inhibition of [14C]aminopyrine uptake in rat isolated gastric mucosal cells by two classes of psychotropic agents.

Nielsen ST, Dove PA, German A, Kuhlman C.

Certain CNS-active compounds decrease gastric acid secretion in vivo. In this study a number of tricyclic antipsychotic or antidepressant compounds together with haloperidol, a nontricyclic antipsychotic agent, were shown to inhibit dibutyryl-cAMP-stimulated [14C]aminopyrine uptake, an index of acid secretory activity in a rat isolated gastric mucosal cell preparation. The observed order of potency was: thioridazine greater than chlorpromazine greater than haloperidol approximately equal to desipramine approximately equal to imipramine greater than clozapine. Comparison of these potencies with those of the known (H+ + K+)ATPase inhibitors timoprazole and omeprazole revealed that the potency of timoprazole was similar to the one of clozapine while omeprazole was intermediate between thioridazine and chlorpromazine. Pirenzepine was ineffective.
