Effects of some polycyclic drugs on gastric secretion and on the healing of duodenal ulcers.

Abstract
Polycyclic drugs such as the dibenzazapine trimipramine have been shown to accelerate the healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers, possibly by inhibiting gastric secretion. We have therefore compared the effects of three polycyclic drugs (trimipramine, mianserin and quisultidine) on nocturnal and pentagastrin-stimulated gastric secretion. The patterns of the effects of the three drugs on gastric secretion differed. Although pentagastrin-stimulated secretion of acid was inhibited by trimipramine (13%), mianserin (38%), and quisultidine (29%), overnight gastric secretion was inhibited by mianserin (37%) and quisultidine (78%) but increased by trimipramine (16%). In view of its gastric inhibitory actions, the effects of mianserin on the healing of duodenal ulcers have been studied. In a pilot open trial seven out of eight duodenal ulcers healed after four weeks of treatment with mianserin 60 mg at night. A controlled, randomized long-term study is now scheduled in order to assess the role of mianserin in the management of ulcer disease.
