- Gastric anti-secretory, anti-ulcer and cytoprotective properties of substituted (E)-4-phenyl- and heteroaryl-4-oxo-2-butenoic acids
-
A class of anti-secretory, anti-ulcer and cytoprotective agents, the substituted (E)-4-phenyl and heteroaryl-4-oxo-2-butenoic acids, is described.This chemical structure is not related to those of any known anti-cholinergic drugs, histamine H2-receptor antagonists or prostaglandins.Five compounds, 4-(2-methoxyphenyl)- 15, 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)- 22, 4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)- 32, 4-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)- 40, and 4-(2-furanyl)-4-oxo-2-butenoic acid 44, have cytoprotective activity at a very low dose (0.6 mg/kg, p.o.) and anti-secretory and anti-ulcer activities at higher doses.One of these compounds, RU 38086 40, has been selected for clinical evaluation.Keywords - anti-ulcer agents / cytoprotective agents / (E)-4-phenyl- and heteroaryl-4-oxo-2-butenoic acids.

- Gastro-protecting activity
-
Diseases and ailments accompanied by gastric and gastroduodenal lesions treated by administering a compound of the formula (I) STR1 in which R represents hydrogen or alkyl containing 1 to 5 carbon atoms and R1 and R2, identical or different, both represent alkoxy containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or both represent halogen, or R1 represents hydrogen and R2 represents halogen, nitro or trifluoromethyl, or R1 and R2 form a methylenedioxy group at adjacent carbon atoms, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, particularly alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, or amine salts of said acid.
