ABSTRACT
N-Phthaloyl gamma-aminobutyric acid, a new gamma-aminobutyric acid derivative synthesized in this laboratory, has been found to possess anticonvulsant, antinociceptive and antistress activities. Effects of this derivative on gastric lesions induced by aspirin and ethanol were studied in rats. N-Phthaloyl gamma-aminobutyric acid significantly inhibited both aspirin and alcohol ulceration. The ED50 in each case being 76.34 and 43.65 mg/kg i.p. respectively. The volume of gastric acid secretion was diminished but gastric mucus secretion was significantly enhanced. The antiulcer effect was blocked by bicuculline and 3-mercaptopropionic acid. We conclude that (a) N-phthaloyl gamma-aminobutyric acid possesses antiulcer activity (b) the new derivative is probably a non-specific gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor agonist (c) the observed activity may be due to a mucoprotective action.
