Gastrointestinal safety and anti-inflammatory effects of a hydrogen sulfide-releasing diclofenac derivative in the rat
Abstract
Background & aims Gastrointestinal damage caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) remains a significant clinical problem. Hydrogen makes an important contribution to mucosal defense, and NSAIDs can suppress its synthesis. In this study, we evaluated the gastrointestinal safety and anti-inflammatory effects of a novel "HS-NSAID" (ATB-337) that consists of diclofenac linked to a hydrogen sulfide-releasing moiety.Methods The gastrointestinal injury-inducing effects of single or repeated administration of diclofenac versus ATB-337 were compared in rats, as were their effects on prostaglandin synthesis and cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 activities. The ability of these drugs to reduce carrageenan-induced paw edema and to elicit leukocyte adherence to the vascular endothelium (intravital microscopy) were also examined in rats.Results Diclofenac (10-50 micromol/kg) dose-dependently damaged the stomach, while ATB-337 did not. Repeated administration of diclofenac caused extensive small intestinal damage and reduced hematocrit by 50%. ATB-337 induced >90% less intestinal damage and had no effect on hematocrit. Diclofenac, but not ATB-337, elevated gastric granulocyte infiltration and expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha, lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1, and intercellular adhesion molecule 1. ATB-337 inhibited cycloxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2 activity as effectively as diclofenac. ATB-337 did not induce leukocyte adherence, whereas diclofenac did, and was more potent at reducing paw edema.Conclusions An HS-NSAID spares the gastric mucosa of injury despite markedly suppressing prostaglandin synthesis. This effect may be related to hydrogen sulfide-mediated inhibition of tumor necrosis factor-alpha expression and of the leukocyte adherence to vascular endothelium normally induced by cyclooxygenase inhibitors.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
