Description
Lorglumide is an antagonist at cholestocystokinin (CCK) receptors; it exhibits antacid, anti-ulcerative, gastrointestinal motility modulating, and anticancer activities. Lorglumide decreases gastrointestinal motility and gastric secretion and is clinically used to treat ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, and dyspepsia. Lorglumide also inhibits proliferation of colon cancer cells.
