Racecadotril

Research use only, not for human use.

Racecadotril, also known as acetorphan, is an antidiarrheal drug which acts as a peripherally acting enkephalinase inhibitor.

Racecadotril, also known as acetorphan, is an antidiarrheal drug which acts as a peripherally acting enkephalinase inhibitor.(In Vivo):In mice, following i.v. administration, Racecadotril is rapidly metabolized to Thiorphan; thus, 30 min after the injection only Thiorphan is recovered from the kidney whereas the parent compound Racecadotril is not detected.In rats 92% of a single-dose (10 mg/kg) of radioactively labeled Racecadotril is eliminated within 24 h.Racecadotril is a neutral endopeptidase (NEP) inhibitor with known antidiarrheal activity in animals. Orally administered Racecadotril (100 mg/kg ) shows efficacy in a rat model of castor oil-induced diarrhea.

In mice, following i.v. administration, Racecadotril is rapidly metabolized to Thiorphan; thus, 30?min after the injection only Thiorphan is recovered from the kidney whereas the parent compound Racecadotril is not detected. In rats 92% of a single-dose (10?mg/kg) of radioactively labeled Racecadotril is eliminated within 24?h.Racecadotril is a neutral endopeptidase (NEP) inhibitor with known antidiarrheal activity in animals. Orally administered Racecadotril (100 mg/kg ) shows efficacy in a rat model of castor oil-induced diarrhea. Animal Model:6-to-7-week-old male Wistar rats Dosage:100 mg/kg Administration:A single oral treatment; 30 minutes before castor oil administration.Result:Significantly reduced stool output but did not prevent the occurrence of diarrhea (100% incidence).
