Popis: The prokinetic effects of metociopramide, beihanechol and L-364,718 on a semisolid meal and solid pellet gastric emptying were evaluated and compared. Each compound increased the rate of meal emptying as measured 90 min post-dose, L-364,718, a non-peptide CCK antagonist, was the most potent of these three agents with statistically significant activity observed at 0.03, 0.1 and 0.3 mg/kg p.o. Only metoclopramide significantly enhanced emptying in a dose-dependent manner (3–30 mg/kg p.o.). The effects of each test agent and the potential physiologic role of cholecystokinin in regulating gastric emptying are discussed.
