Soraprazan; Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Interactions

Soraprazan is a potent and reversible inhibitor of the gastric H+/K+ ATPase proton pump with potassium-competitive acid blocking (P-CAB) activity. Soraprazan binds very specifically, competitively and reversibly to the potassium binding site of the proton pump hydrogen-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (H+/K+ ATPase), thereby inhibiting the pump’s activity and the parietal cell secretion of H+ ions into the gastric lumen, the final step in gastric acid production. Soraprazan is an antiulcer drug that is used to treatment of gastroesophageal reflex (GERD), heartburn, indigestion, gastritis, dyspepsia, etc. Soraprazan has been used in trials studying the treatment of Erosive Esophagitis.
