HIDE SMILES / InChI
Lidamidine, also known as WHR-1142A and Lidaral, is an alpha2-adrenergic receptor agonist that inhibits intestinal secretion, reduces intestinal transit, and inhibits smooth muscle contraction. Lidamidine hydrochloride is used to treat diarrhoea and other gastrointestinal disorders. Lidamidine’s intestinal antisecretory effects are mediated through the activation of peripheral alpha-2 adrenoceptors. Lidamidine crosses the blood brain barrier poorly and is therefore devoid of the centrally mediated alpha-2 effects that have limited the use of other alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonists in the intestinal tract.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Lidamidine crosses the blood brain barrier poorly and is therefore devoid of the centrally mediated alpha-2 effects that have limited the use of other alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonists in the intestinal tract.

Sample Use Guides

Lidamidine HCL (4 mg) or placebo was taken orally t.i.d. with food. Lidamidine decreased the augmented mechanical response to food, reduced rectal sensitivity, and relieved symptoms of patients with irritable bowel syndrome.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
The effects of clonidine and lidamidine on ion transport in the intestine of the rabbit were determined. In the ileum both clonidine (10(-6) M) and lidamidine (10(-3) M) (a) decreased the short circuit current (-1.9 +/- 0.3 and -2.0 +/- 0.4 muEq/h . cm2, respectively) and potential difference; (b) increased net sodium absorption (2.0 +/- 0.6 and 1.8 +/- 0.4 muEq/h . cm2) and chloride absorption (3.4 +/- 0.5 and 3.4 +/- 0.6 muEq/h . cm2); and (c) increased tissue conductance (8.7 +/- 1.7 and 10.0 +/- 1.6 mmho/cm2).
