Rabeprazole (sodium)

Rabeprazole sodium (LY307640 sodium) is a second-generation proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that irreversibly inactivates gastric H⁺/K⁺-ATPase. Rabeprazole sodium induces apoptosis. Rabeprazole sodium acts as an uridine nucleoside ribohydrolase (UNH) inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 0.3 μM. Rabeprazole sodium can be used for the research of gastric ulcerations and gastroesophageal reflux^[1][2][3]. IC50 & Target:Pump inhibitor (PPI)^[1]
IC50: 0.3 μM (UNH)^[1]
H⁺/K⁺-ATPase^[2]
Apoptosis^[2] In Vitro:Rabeprazole attenuates the cell viability of the human gastric cancer cells following treatment with 0.2 mM for 16 hours^[2].
Rabeprazole completely inhibits the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in the MKN-28 cells. The gastric cancer cell line MKN-28 is cultured in acidic culture media (pH 5.4) for 2 hours. Pretreatment with Rabeprazole (0.2 mM for 2 hours) leads to strong inhibition of ERK 1/2 phosphorylation in the MKN-28 cells^[2]. In Vivo:Rabeprazole (10 mg/kg; P.O.; every 48 h for 18 weeks) course leads to a significant decline in bone mineral density (BMD) and decreases serum calcium level and produces secondary hyperparathyroidism in female mice^[3].
