Proglumide hemicalcium
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Proglumide hemicalcium is a nonpeptide and orally active cholecystokinin (CCK)-A/B receptors antagonist. Proglumide hemicalcium selective blocks CCK’s effects in the central nervous system (CNS). Proglumide hemicalcium has ability to inhibit gastric secretion and to protect the gastroduodenal mucosa. Proglumide hemicalcium also has antiepileptic and antioxidant activities.

Biological Activity
In an in vitro study, Proglumide at concentrations between 0.3-10 mM inhibits CCK-stimulated amylase release dose-dependently, while Proglumide does not influence the basal amylase release at concentrations between 0-3 mM. Dose-response curves to CCK for amylase release shifted to the right with increase in Proglumide concentration. This inhibition by Proglumide is reversible. In addition, the effect of Proglumide is selective for CCK and its related peptide[2].
The incubation of HT29 cells with Proglumide significantly reduces the [3H]-thymidine incorporation to HT29 cells in a dose-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 6.5 mM. Proglumide reduces in a dose-dependent manner the percentage of necrosis with a parallel increase of apoptosis up to 70%[3].

Result:Dose-dependently and significantly increased the latencies to seizure and SE. Significantly and dose-dependently attenuated Li-PC (SE) induced increase in thiobarbituric acid (TBARS) and catalase (CAT), attenuated Li-Pc induced decrease in SOD, and attenuated depletion of GSH and glutathione-S transferase (GST) in the hippocampus and striatum.
