Biological activities

Lubiprostone is a selective type 2 chloride channel (ClC-2) activator. Lubiprostone is also a member of a new class of bicyclic fatty acid compounds called prostones, which are derived from a metabolite of prostaglandin E1. Lubiprostone is efficacious in the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation. Lubiprostone induces intestinal secretion and relieves constipation. Lubiprostone accelerates small bowel and colonic transit in healthy subjects.[1] Lubiprostone enhances intestinal Cl- and fluid secretion via prostanoid receptor signaling, triggering activation of CFTR.[2]The EC50 for lubiprostone mediated CFTR activation is 10 nM.[3]Lubiprostone reduces mucosal-to-serosal fluxes of 3H-mannitol and 14C-inulin.[4]In rats, lubiprostone contracts stomach longitudinal muscle and inhibits neuronally mediated contractions of colon circular muscle.[5]n a mouse model of the genetic disease cystic fibrosis, administration of lubiprostone results in greater mucus accumulation in the small intestine.[6]
