About RabeprazoleBenzimidazole derivative, Proton Pump Inhibitor, Antiulcer.Mechanism of Action of RabeprazoleRabeprazole sodium is a proton pump inhibitor. It is a prodrug. After administration it diffuses in to the parietal cell of the stomach and accumulates in the secretory canaliculi. In the acidic medium Rabeprazole is converted to sulfenamide. This sulfenamide covalently interacts with sulfhydryl (SH) group in the proton pump (H+ K+ATPase) and inhibits the exchange of extracellular K+ for intracellular H+ ion. Rabeprazole sodium irreversibly inhibits proton pumps activity and decreases gastric acid secretion. Rabeprazole produces fastest acid suppression and helps in mucin synthesis.Pharmacokinets of RabeprazoleAbsorption: Rabeprazole sodium is well absorbed after oral administration and its bioavailability is about 50% since it undergoes first pass metabolism. Distribution: It is widely distributed in the body in protein bound form. Metabolism: Rabeprazole sodium is extensively metabolised in the liver. Excretion: It is excreted mainly in the urine and small amount in faeces.Onset of Action for Rabeprazole1hourDuration of Action for Rabeprazole1 dayHalf Life of Rabeprazole1 - 2 hoursSide Effects of Rabeprazole1.
