Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including http://www.meppo.com/pdf/drugs/2845-GANATON-1415104080.pdf

Itopride is a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist and inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase. It is indicated in the for the treatment of gastrointestinal symptoms caused by reduced gastrointestinal motility, such as functional non-ulcer dyspepsia (chronic gastritis), gastric fullness, rapid satiation, pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen, anorexia, heartburn, nausea, and vomiting. The drug is not approved in the USA or UK but is available in Japan and Western European countries.

Sample Use Guides

The usual adult dosage is 150mg of itopride hydrochloride (3 tablets) per oral administration daily in three divided doses before meals. The dose may be reduced according to the patient’s age and symptoms.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
To study the interaction between itopride and D2 receptors, rat striatum homogenate was used. The striatal homogenate was incubated with [3H]spiperone (at a final concentration of 0.3 nM), 10nM ketanserin and 10M pargyline, and the displacing ligand at a final concentration from 1 pM to 100 uM. Radioactivity was measured using filtration through Whatman GF/B filters and liquid scintillation counting.
