Rabeprazole sodium was discovered by Eisai Co., Ltd. Janssen Pharmaceutica N.V. and Eisai Co., Ltd. have a strategic alliance in which Eisai and Janssen-Cilag co-promote the drug in Germany and the U.K. In the US rabeprazole sodium is co-promoted under the brand name AcipHex by Eisai Inc. and Janssen Pharmaceutica Inc. Pariet is available through Janssen-Cilag in most other countries excluding Japan and some Asian countries. Rabeprazole is an antiulcer drug in the class of proton pump inhibitors. Rabeprazole is a prodrug and is converted to the active sulphenamide form in the acid environment of the parietal cells. Rabeprazole is used to heal and maintain the healing of Erosive or Ulcerative Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), for healing Duodenal Ulcers, and for treatment of pathological hypersecretory conditions such as Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome. Rabeprazole suppresses gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the gastric H+, K+ATPase at the secretory surface of the gastric parietal cell and does not exhibit anticholinergic or histamine H2-receptor antagonist properties. Because this enzyme is regarded as the acid (proton) pump within the parietal cell, rabeprazole has been characterized as a gastric proton-pump inhibitor which blocks the final step of gastric acid secretion. In gastric parietal cells, rabeprazole is protonated, accumulates, and is transformed to an active sulfonamide.
Clarithromycin is an antibacterial drug which is used either in combination with lansoprazole and amoxicillin (Prevpac), in combination with omeprazole and amoxicillin (Omeclamox) or alone (Biaxin) for the treatment of broad range of infections. The drug exerts its action by binding to 23s rRNA (with nucleotides in domains II and V). The binding leads to the protein synthesis inhibition and the cell death.
Levolansoprazole is the levorotary (L-enantiomer) form of proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) Lansoprazole. Lansoprazole is a racemic 1:1 mixture of the enantiomers dexlansoprazole (Dexilant, formerly named Kapidex) and Levolansoprazole. Lansoprazole has used to the treatment of acid-reflux disorders (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, H. pylori eradication, and prevention of gastrointestinal bleeds with NSAID use. Levolansoprazole is extensively metabolized in the liver. Two metabolites have been identified in measurable quantities in plasma (the hydroxylated sulfinyl and sulfone derivatives of Levolansoprazole).

Omeprazole belongs to a class of antisecretory compounds, which suppress gastric acid secretion by specific inhibition of the H+ /K+ ATPase enzyme system at the secretory surface of the gastric parietal cell. Because this enzyme system is regarded as the acid (proton) pump within the gastric mucosa, omeprazole has been characterized as a gastric acid-pump inhibitor, in that it blocks the final step of acid production. This effect is dose-related and leads to inhibition of both basal and stimulated acid secretion irrespective of the stimulus. Omeprazole is used under brand names Prilosec and Losec for treatment of duodenal ulcer in adults, gastric ulcer in adults, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. In addition it used for maintenance of healing of erosive esophagitis in pediatric patients and adults and for treatment of pathological hypersecretory conditions in adults (eg, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, multiple endocrine adenomas and systemic mastocytosis). The most frequent significant adverse effects occurring in at least of patients include headache; upper respiratory tract infection, abdominal pain, diarrhea, back pain, weakness and rash.
Amoxicillin is one of the widely prescribed antibacterial agents, which was discovered by scientists at Beecham Research Laboratories in 1972. In the US GlaxoSmithKline markets it under the original brand name Amoxil. It is the first line treatment for middle ear infections. It is also used for strep throat, pneumonia, skin infections, and urinary tract infections it is taken by mouth. Amoxicillin inhibits the third and final stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis by preferentially binding to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) that are located inside the bacterial cell wall. This results in a formation of defective cell wall and a cell death. Common side effects include nausea and rash. It may also increase the risk of yeast infections and, when used in combination with clavulanic acid, diarrhea. It should not be used in those who are allergic to penicillin.
