Использование

Prucalopride Succinate is the succinate form of prucalopride. It is a selective 5-HT4 receptor agonist used for the treatment of chronic constipation in adults for whom laxatives are not effective. It is not indicated for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

Механизм действия

The succinate form of prucalopride is an orally bioavailable dihydrobenzofurancarboxamide and selective serotonin (5-HT4) receptor agonist with pro-gastrointestinal motility activity. Upon oral administration, procalcitonin specifically targets, binds and stimulates 5-HT4 receptors. This alters the pattern of colonic motility and stimulates large amounts of peristalsis in the colon. This normalises bowel movements and relieves chronic constipation. In addition, by increasing peristalsis in the oesophagus and stomach, prucalopride also relieves symptoms associated with inhalation.

Клиническое использование

Prucalopride succinate, a first-in-class dihydrobenzofurancarboxamide, is a selective serotonin (5- HT4) receptor agonist. The drug, marketed under the brand name Resolor®, possesses enterokinetic activity and was developed by the Belgian-based pharmaceutical firm Movetis. Prucalopride alters colonic motility patterns via serotonin 5-HT4 receptor stimulation, triggering the central propulsive force for defecation.
