Notes: Rabeprazole-d4 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of rabeprazole (Item No. 14939) by GC- or LC-MS. Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that selectively and irreversibly inhibits the gastric H+/K+ ATPase (IC50 = 72 nM).{23855} It can be activated more rapidly and over a greater pH range than other proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole (Item No. 14880), lansoprazole (Item No. 13627), and pantoprazole (Item No. 21345).{23854} Rabeprazole (30 mg/kg) inhibits gastric acid secretion in pylorus-ligated rats and a rat model of gastric fistula.{47042} It also inhibits the growth of several strains of H. pylori in vitro (MIC50s = 1.57-3.13 μg/mL).{23854} Formulations containing rabeprazole have been used in the treatment of ulcers, pathological hypersecretory conditions, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
