Rabeprazole 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.

Dexlansoprazole (trade names Kapidex, Dexilant) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that is marketed by Takeda Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of erosive esophagitis and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. Dexlansoprazole is used to heal and maintain healing of erosive esophagitis and to treat heartburn associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It lasts longer than lansoprazole, to which it is chemically related, and needs to be taken less often. Dexlansoprazole is supplied for oral administration as a dual delayed-release formulation in capsules and orally disintegrating tablets. The capsules and tablets contain dexlansoprazole in a mixture of two types of enteric-coated granules with different pH-dependent dissolution profiles. The most significant adverse reactions (≥2%) reported in clinical trials were diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, upper respiratory tract infection, vomiting, and flatulence.

Esomeprazole strontium is a proton pump inhibitor. It suppresses gastric acid secretion by specific inhibition H+/K+ ATPase in the gastric parietal cell. The S- and R-isomers of omeprazole are protonated and converted in the acidic compartment of the parietal cell forming the active inhibitor, the achiral sulphenamide. By acting specifically on the proton pump, esomeprazole blocks the final step in acid production, thus reducing gastric acidity. The drug is indicated for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, reduction the risk of NSAID-associated gastric ulcer, eradication of H.pylori, and pathological hypersecretory conditions.
