Carbon dioxide is a colorless gas occurring naturally in Earth's atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a primary carbon source for life on Earth. It is produced by all aerobic organisms during metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids. Carbon dioxide is used in food industry as an acidity regulator and for production of carbonated soft drinks and soda water. In medicine, carbon dioxide is commonly used as an insufflation gas for minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy, endoscopy, and arthroscopy) to enlarge and stabilize body cavities to provide better visibility of the surgical area. A mixture of carbon dioxide and oxygen is used for stimulation of breathing after apnea, in anesthetic procedures to increase the depth of respiration, to facilitate blind intubations in anesthetic practice.

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (RACEMIC)

Tiquinamide (Wy 24081) is a potent inhibitor of gastric secretion and gives good protection in animals against gastric and duodenal erosions induced by stress and chemical stimuli. It reduces basal as well as stimulated acid secretion but has no anticholinergic activity and is only a weak histamine H2 antagonist, since it is substantially more potent in inhibiting basal acid-secretion than the established H2-receptor antagonists, metiamide and burimamide. Since no other pharmacological effect of tiquinamide has been detected in isolated tissues, it seems unlikely that the gastric antisecretory effect of the compound results from a direct action on the peripheral autonomic nervous system. The report from Dr. Szabo on the protective effect of dopamine agonists against duodenal ulceration suggests a possible mechanism of action for tiquinamide.
