Description
Rabeprazole sodium, is a substituted benzimidazole that inhibits gastric secretion. Inhibition of the proton pump by rabeprazole is partially reversible. It has 2- to 10-fold greater antisecretory activity than omeprazole but it dissociates more readily from H+,K+-ATPase than omeprazole, therefore it has a shorter duration of action. Rabeprazole is an alpha-pyridyl methyl sulfinyl benzimidazole drug and a selective and irreversible proton pump inhibitor with antisecretory properties. Rabeprazole works by entering into the parietal cell and accumulating in the acidic secretory canaliculi where this drug is activated by a proton-catalyzed process and this process leads to formation of a thiophilic sulfonamide or sulfenic acid. This activated rabeprazole now forms covalent bonds with the sulfhydryl amino acids cysteine on the extracellular domain of the proton pump (H+/K+ ATPase) present at the secretory surface, this mechanism inhibits the transport of hydrogen ions, via exchange with potassium ions, into the gastric lumen. Binding of this drug to cysteine 813, in particular, is necessary for inhibition of gastric acid production. -
