Loxiglumide (CR-1505) (Synonyms: CR1505)

Animal experiment:

Rats[1] At 24 h after induction of acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis, rats are divided into four different treatment groups: standard rat chow (AP-C); standard rat chow with pancreatic rest (AP-R); standard rat chow with pancreatic stimulation (AP-S); and standard rat chow with pancreatic rest, followed by pancreatic stimulation (AP-R/S). Rats in the AP-C group receive 2 mL/kg body weight saline orally (po) via an orogastric tube twice daily (09:00 and 21:00 h) for 10 d; the AP-R group receive 50 mg/kg body weight of CCK-1 receptor antagonist Loxiglumide dissolved in 2 mL distilled water po twice daily for 10 d; the AP-S group receive 25 mg/kg body weight protease inhibitor Camostat, which is known to stimulate endogenous CCK release, dissolved in 2 mL distilled water po twice daily for 10 d; and the AP-R/S group receive 50 mg/kg body weight Loxiglumide twice daily for the first 5 d followed by 25 mg/kg body weight camostat twice daily for the next 5 d. Rats are fed ad libitum. On day 12 at 24 h after the last treatment and overnight fasting, pancreatic exocrine function and histological examination of the pancreas are performed.
