The formalin test is one approach to studying acute pain in rodents. Similar to formalin, injection with glutamate and veratrine can also produce a nociceptive response. This study investigated whether opioid-related compounds could suppress glutamate- and veratrine-induced nociceptive responses in mice at the same dose. The administration of morphine (3 mg/kg), hydromorphone (0.4 mg/kg), or fentanyl (0.03 mg/kg) suppressed glutamate-induced nociceptive response, but not veratrine-induced nociceptive response at the same doses...

Alzheimer's disease (AD), one of the main causes of dementia, is a neurodegenerative disorder. Cholinesterase inhibitors are used in the treatment of AD, but prolonged use of these drugs can lead to serious side effects. Drug repurposing is an approach that aims to reveal the effectiveness of drugs in different diseases beyond their clinical uses. In this work, we investigated in vitro and in silico inhibitory effects of 11 different drugs on cholinesterases. The results showed that trimebutine, theophylline, and levamisole had the highest acetylcholinesterase inhibitory actions among the tested drugs, and these drugs inhibited by 68...

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Drugs that stabilize intestinal motility may improve the efficacy of nonabsorbable antibiotics, such as rifaximin, against small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). We compared the efficacy of rifaximin alone with that of its combination with trimebutine maleate against SIBO. METHODS: We performed a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial (https://cris.nih.go.kr, no. KCT0004836) that included patients with functional bloating, no constipation, and SIBO using the hydrogen (H2 )-methane (CH4 ) glucose breath test (GBT)...

A 30-year-old man with idiopathic peptic ulcer disease (IPUD) experienced repeated recurrence of ulcerative bleeding despite treatment with lansoprazole and then vonoprazan. Further evaluation suggested that the cause of the ulcer was strong contractile movements of the antrum. This prompted the co-administration of trimebutine maleate (TM) and vonoprazan to relieve the stomach contractions. TM was effective in preventing the recurrence of ulcerative bleeding, and the patient has remained in remission for 4 years...

OBJECTIVE: To characterize an outpatient population diagnosed with IBS in Colombia during 2017-2018. METHODS: A cross-sectional study based on a review of clinical records of patients with a primary diagnosis of IBS...

INTRODUCTION: Acute gastrointestinal cramping pain (GICP) is a debilitating condition that affects many people worldwide, significantly reducing their quality of life. As such, prompt treatment is crucial. AREAS COVERED: This article will explore relevant literature from databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Additionally, we searched ClinicalTrials.gov and the WHO ICTRP database for the latest clinical trials. EXPERT OPINION: Consensus dictates that antispasmodics such as hyoscine-N-butyl bromide and mebeverine should be the primary treatment for GICP...

Treatment of functional digestive disorders is not always effective. Therefore, a search for new application points for potential drugs is perspective. Our aim is to evaluate the effect of rebamipide on symptom severity, intestinal barrier status, and intestinal microbiota composition and function in patients with diarrheal variant of irritable bowel syndrome overlapping with functional dyspepsia (D-IBSoFD). Sixty patients were randomized to receive trimebutine (TRI group), trimebutine + rebamipide (T + R group), or rebamipide (REB group) for 2 months...

BACKGROUND: Abemaciclib-induced diarrhea (AID) impairs quality of life (QOL) and treatment adherence in patients with breast cancer. Supportive treatment with loperamide is associated with constipation. We hypothesized that probiotics and trimebutine maleate (TM) would decrease the frequency of AID without causing constipation. METHODS: Hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor 2-negative advanced breast cancer patients were randomized into the probiotic Bifidobacterium (A) or probiotic Bifidobacterium and TM (B) groups...

BACKGROUND: Probiotics are effective for treating acute infectious diarrhoea caused by bacteria, but there are inconsistent results for the effectiveness of probiotics for diarrhoea caused by viruses. In this article we want to determine whether Sb supplementation has an effect on acute inflammatory viral diarrhoea diagnosed with the multiplex panel PCR test. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Saccharomyces boulardii (Sb) as a treatment in patients diagnosed with viral acute diarrhoea...

SARS-CoV-2 Main protease (Mpro ) is a well-known drug target against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Identification of Mpro inhibitors is vigorously pursued due to its crucial role in viral replication. The present study was aimed to identify Mpro inhibitors via repurposing of US-FDA approved drugs by STD-NMR spectroscopy. In this study, 156 drugs and natural compounds were evaluated against Mpro . Among them, 10 drugs were found to be interacting with Mpro , including diltiazem HCl (1), mefenamic acid (2), losartan potassium (3), mexiletine HCl (4), glaucine HBr (5), trimebutine maleate (6), flurbiprofen (7), amantadine HCl (8), dextromethorphan (9), and lobeline HCl (10) in STD-NMR spectroscopy...

The L1 cell adhesion molecule plays an essential role in neural development and repair. It is not only a 'lock and key' recognition molecule, but an important signal transducer that stimulates regenerative-beneficial cellular functions such as neurite outgrowth, neuronal cell migration, survival, myelination, and synapse formation. Triggering L1 functions after neurotrauma improves functional recovery. In addition, loss-of-function mutations in the L1 gene lead to the L1 syndrome, a rare, X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder with an incidence of approximately 1:30,000 in newborn males...

BACKGROUND: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a biopsychosocial model based on the malfunction of "brain-intestinal linking". AIM: To improve diagnostics of the severe IBS accompanied with somatoform disorders by using balloon dilatation test (BDT) and optimize the therapy by using antidepressants from the serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor type. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 61 patients with severe IBS and diarrhea were examined, among them 29 female with a median age of 31 years old (24; 36), and 31 male with a median age of 31 (24; 36) years old...

This research presents the first novel green molecular-size-based fluorescence probe (MSBFP) as a spectroscopic strategy for detecting the Trimebutine drug. The method used a green, one-pot, direct spectrofluorimetric methodology to validate and assess the medication. Trimebutine drug and Cilefa Pink B formed an immediate ultra-fluorescent complex when mixed in an acidic environment. The fluorimetric study relied on Trimebutine's amplification of the dye response, which correlated to the generated complex's molecular size at 361 nm...

METHODS: From March 2019 to March 2021, 102 elderly patients with IBS-C were randomly divided into the observation group (51 cases) and the control group (51 cases). The observation group was treated with trimebutine maleate combined with lactulose, while the control group was treated with lactulose...

BACKGROUND: In the treatment of post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS), the leading role belongs to the normalization of the composition of the intestinal microbiome, the disturbances of which are associated with previous intestinal infections. AIM: To study the effectiveness of the drug Bifiform in the treatment of PI-IBS. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An open, prospective, comparative, randomized study included 62 patients with PI-IBS...

Background: Acupuncture has been extensively applied to manage irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in clinical practice in China. Some randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have demonstrated their efficacy, but it has rarely been compared with first-line antispasmodics to verify their effectiveness. Therefore, we compare acupuncture with antispasmodics in the treatment of IBS by using an adjusted indirect treatment comparison meta-analysis. Methods: Embase, OVID Medline, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were searched from inception to 14 March 2022, with no language restrictions...

Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD) is a benign non-tumoral disorder of the major papilla. It occurs mainly after cholecystectomy but can also occur before surgery. Biliary pain and biliary colic are the most frequent symptoms although recurrent pancreatic pain or pancreatitis can also be presenting symptoms. In about half of the cases, there is a fibrotic stricture of the sphincter of Oddi, probably secondary to the passage of biliary stones, while in the remaining half, the syndrome is due to ampullary motility disorders...

We investigated the effectiveness of photocatalytic pretreatment (PCP) of precursors in minimizing the formation potentials (FPs) of carcinogenic nitrosamines, including N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), and N-nitrosodiethanolamine (NDELA), during water chloramination. A steel mesh substrate with immobilized TiO2 was highly efficient at mitigating nitrosamine formation and removing targeted precursors such as ranitidine, nizatidine, trimebutine, triethanolamine, and metoclopramide...

To investigate the effect and mechanism of QingHuaZhiXie prescription on diarrhea predominant irritable bowel syndrome (D-IBS), animal models of rats were used in this study. 48 rats were randomly divided into 6 groups, containing one control group, one animal model group (D-IBS group), and four drug intervention groups (low, medium, and high dosage of QingHuaZhiXie prescription and trimebutine maleate intervention group). Abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) and Bristol stool form scale were recorded; the expression levels of inflammatory factors (TNF- α and IFN- γ ), pathway proteins TLR4, MyD88, NF- κ B, and key proteins of tight junction between intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) were detected; the microstructure of intestinal mucosal was observed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining; MPO activity was detected with immunohistochemical analysis to reflect the inflammation of tissues...
