Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Rebamipide is used for mucosal protection, healing of gastroduodenal ulcers, and treatment of gastritis. It works by enhancing mucosal defense, scavenging free radicals,[3] and temporarily activating genes encoding cyclooxygenase-2. Studies have shown that rebamipide can fight the damaging effects of NSAIDs on the GIT mucosa, and more recently, the small intestine, but not for naproxen-induced gastric damage.

Product Data
Biological target:
Rebamipide increases the levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and COX-2 in rat gastric mucosa. Rebamipide (30 and 100 mg/kg, i.p.) prevents the formation of gastric ulcers induced by absolute ethanol, sodium hydroxide, or hydrochloric acid in rats. It also increases the production of mucin 16 in stratified corneal epithelial cells in vitro. Formulations containing rebamipide have been used in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease and dry eye disease.
In vitro activity:
Rebamipide induces the differential upregulation of MUC16 in stratified cultures of human corneal epithelial cells, which may have implications to the proper restoration of barrier function in ocular surface disease. Reference: Exp Eye Res. 2016 Dec;153:1-7. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27725198/
In vivo activity:
In a PAS-positve rabbit model, rebamipide increased the number of periodic acid Schiff reagent-positive cells in the conjunctiva, increased the amount of mucin-like substances of the conjunctiva and cornea, and lowered the rose bengal scores in the corneal damage model by desiccation. Rebamipide is a possible candidate drug for treatment of cornea and conjunctival epithelial damage due to its mucin-like substance increasing action. These results indicate that rebamipide could be used in the treatment of dry eye disease. Reference: J Ocul Pharmacol Ther. 2012 Jun;28(3):264-70. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22304618/
