Rebamipide

Rebamipide, an amino acid derivative of 2-(1H)-quinolinone, is used for mucosal protection,[1] healing of gastroduodenal ulcers, and treatment of gastritis.[2] It works by enhancing mucosal defense, scavenging free radicals,[3] and temporarily activating genes encoding cyclooxygenase-2.[4]

Studies have shown that rebamipide can fight the damaging effects of NSAIDs on the GIT mucosa,[5] and more recently, the small intestine, but not for naproxen-induced gastric damage.[6]

Availability

Rebamipide is used in a number of Asian countries including Japan (marketed as Mucosta), South Korea, China[7] and India (where it is marketed under the trade name Rebagen). It is also approved in Russia under the brand name Rebagit.[8]
