RESUMO
The effects of loxiglumide (CAS 107097-80-3, CR 1505), a novel cholecystokinin-A(CCK-A) receptor antagonist, on pancreatic exocrine secretion stimulated by meal were examined in conscious dogs with chronic pancreatic fistula. Pancreatic exocrine secretion was stimulated by intraduodenal infusion of a liquid test meal and postprandial plasma CCK levels were apparently elevated. Loxiglumide inhibited the meal-stimulated outputs of pancreatic protein, amylase and bicarbonate at an intravenous dose of 10 mg/kg/h (p < 0.05). However, loxiglumide did not show apparent inhibition of pancreatic juice volume and trypsin output. These results show that the selective CCK-A antagonist loxiglumide may inhibit the increase of pancreatic exocrine secretion based on selective blockade of receptor binding of CCK endogenously induced by meal in dogs.
