dibutyryl-cyclic-gmp and lorglumide

The effects of CCK-receptor antagonists such as dibutyryl cyclic GMP (dbcGMP), L-364,718, and CR1409 on COOH-terminal octapeptide of CCK (CCK-8)-stimulated chief cell responses were examined using isolated guinea pig gastric chief cells. L-364,718 and CR1409 inhibited CCK-8-stimulated pepsinogen secretion over the same concentration range as they inhibited CCK-8-stimulated increases in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), respectively. Schild analysis of the CCK dose-response curve indicates that L-364,718 and CR1409 exert their inhibitory effects on CCK-8-stimulated chief cell responses in a competitive manner. By contrast, dbcGMP inhibited not only CCK-8- but also carbachol-stimulated pepsinogen secretion. Furthermore, dbcGMP inhibited CCK-8-stimulated pepsinogen secretion more potently than the increases in [Ca2+]i. These results suggest that L-364,718 and CR1409 act as CCK-receptor antagonists, but dbcGMP has another inhibitory effect on pepsinogen secretion in addition to the effect as a CCK-receptor antagonist in guinea pig gastric chief cells.
