| Rebamipide |
Rebamipide, a gastroprotective drug, is a compound selected from over 500 amino acid analogs of 2(1H)-quinolinone. Rebamipide stimulates prostaglandin generation in gastric mucosa and improves not only the speed but also the quality of ulcer healing. Rebamipide works by enhancing mucosal defense, scavenging free radicals and temporarily activating genes encoding cyclooxygenase-2. |
