Gastrointestinal Pharmacology: Acid-Peptic Disorders, Mucosal Defence and Helicobacter Pylori

Pharmacology of the gastrointestinal tract beginning with hydrochloric acid secretion and the two classes of drug used in acid-peptic disease: agents that reduce intragastric acidity and agents that promote mucosal defence. Explains how acid, pepsin and bile overwhelm mucus and bicarbonate secretion, prostaglandins, blood flow and the regeneration of injured cells, the part Helicobacter pylori plays in more than ninety percent of peptic ulcers, and the gastro-oesophageal reflux and stress-related mucosal injury covered alongside them.

The nicotinic and muscarinic receptors and their distribution lead into the structure-activity rules of the acetylcholine skeleton - the acetyl group, the ethylene bridge and the onium group, the two-carbon chain and the alpha-methyl substitution that favours muscarinic activity. Direct and indirect agonists follow with carbachol, bethanechol, pilocarpine, physostigmine, neostigmine, edrophonium and echothiophate, their uses in glaucoma, myasthenia gravis and Alzheimer's disease, and the cholinesterase reactivator pralidoxime as the organophosphate antidote.
