Abstract

When 17 macrocyclic lactone antibiotics were examined for their abilities to inhibit gastric H+, K+-ATPase, copiamycin A was found to have the strongest and relatively specific activity with IC50s of 15.7 μg/ml and > 100 μg/ml against the hog gastric H+, K+-ATPase and the dog kidney Na+, K+-APTase, respectively. Furthermore, this antibiotic inhibited the histamine-induced gastric acid secretion in the isolated gastric mucosal membrane of guinea pigs and the gastric ulcer formation in pylorus-ligated rats.
