Diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, flatulence, and acid regurgitation are the most frequent adverse GI effects of omeprazole, occurring in about 1-5% of patients. Dysphagia, abdominal swelling, anorexia, irritable colon, fecal discoloration, pancreatitis (sometimes fatal), esophageal candidiasis, mucosal atrophy of the tongue, taste perversion, and dry mouth have been reported occasionally but in many cases were not directly attributed to the drug. Benign gastric fundic polyps have been reported rarely and appear to resolve upon discontinuation of omeprazole therapy.

5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

**Effects on gastric acid secretion** This drug decreases gastric acid secretion. After oral administration, the onset of the antisecretory effect of omeprazole is usually achieved within one hour, with the maximum effect occurring by 2 hours after administration. The inhibitory effect of omeprazole on acid secretion increases with repeated once-daily dosing, reaching a plateau after four days. **Effects on serum gastrin** In studies of 200 or more patients, serum gastrin levels increased during the first 1-2 weeks of daily administration of therapeutic doses of omeprazole. This occurred in a parallel fashion with the inhibition of acid secretion. No further increase in serum gastrin occurred with continued omeprazole administration. Increased gastrin causes enterochromaffin-like cell hyperplasia and increased serum Chromogranin A (CgA) levels. The increased CgA levels may lead to false positive results in diagnostic studies for neuroendocrine tumors. **Enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cell effects** Human gastric biopsy samples have been obtained from more than 3000 pediatric and adult patients treated with omeprazole in long-term clinical studies. The incidence of enterochromaffin-like cell hyperplasia in these studies increased with time; however, no case of ECL cell carcinoids, dysplasia, or neoplasia have been identified in these patients. These studies, however, are of insufficient in power and duration to draw conclusions on the possible influence of long-term administration of omeprazole in the development of any premalignant or malignant conditions. **Other effects** Systemic effects of omeprazole in the central nervous system, cardiovascular and respiratory systems have not been found to date. Omeprazole, given in oral doses of 30 or 40 mg for 2-4 weeks, showed no effect on thyroid function, carbohydrate metabolism, or circulating levels of parathyroid hormone, cortisol, estradiol, testosterone, prolactin, cholecystokinin or secretin.

5.5 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Omeprazole delayed-release capsules contain an enteric-coated granule formulation of omeprazole (because omeprazole is acid-labile), so that absorption of omeprazole begins only after the granules exit the stomach. Absorption of omeprazole occurs rapidly, with peak plasma concentrations of omeprazole achieved within 0.5-3.5 hours. Absolute bioavailability (compared with intravenous administration) is approximately 30-40% at doses of 20-40 mg, largely due to pre-systemic metabolism. The bioavailability of omeprazole increases slightly upon repeated administration of omeprazole delayed-release capsules.


Route of Elimination

After a single dose oral dose of a buffered solution of omeprazole, negligible (if any) amounts of unchanged drug were excreted in urine. Most of the dose (about 77%) was eliminated in urine as at least six different metabolites. Two metabolites were identified as _hydroxyomeprazole_ and the corresponding _carboxylic acid_. The remainder of the dose was found in the feces. This suggests significant biliary excretion of omeprazole metabolites. Three metabolites have been identified in the plasma, the _sulfide_ and _sulfone_ derivatives of omeprazole, and _hydroxyomeprazole_. These metabolites possess minimal or no antisecretory activity.


Volume of Distribution

Approximately 0.3 L/kg, corresponding to the volume of extracellular water.


Clearance

Healthy subject (delayed release capsule), total body clearance 500 - 600 mL/min Geriatric plasma clearance: 250 mL/min Hepatic impairment plasma clearance: 70 mL/min


Absorption: rapid. Distribution: Distributed in tissue, particularly gastric parietal cells.

To clarify the in vivo first-pass metabolism of omeprazole, the pharmacokinetics were examined after oral, intraduodenal, intraportal venous, and intravenous administration at various doses to rats. Extraction ratios in the liver and intestinal tract were determined from the areas under the concentration-time curve (AUC) for intraportal venous and intravenous administration and from those for intraduodenal and intraportal venous administration, respectively. Assuming that the drug was absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract completely, the hepatic and intestinal extraction ratios were 0.80, 0.63, and 0.59 at doses of 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg and 0.70 and 0.73 at doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg, respectively. The bioavailability of orally administered omeprazole was 6.4, 9.6, and 12.6% at the doses of l0, 20, and 40 mg/kg, respectively. There were no differences in the distribution volume of steady state, total clearance, or elimination half-life at any doses. In addition, the AUC value after oral administration (20 mg/kg) in rats acutely intoxicated with CC(14) was 2.4 times larger than that in the control. These findings suggest that omeprazole undergoes a first-pass metabolism in the intestinal mucosa and/or lumen, as well as in the liver, and that the major contribution to the dose-dependent increase in bioavailability is a saturation of the first-pass metabolism in the liver.

5.6 Metabolism/Metabolites

Omeprazole is heavily metabolized in the liver by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme system. The main part of its metabolism depends on the polymorphically expressed CYP2C19, which is responsible for the formation of _hydroxyomeprazole_, the major metabolite found in plasma. The remaining part depends on CYP3A4, responsible for the formation of _omeprazole sulphone_.


The in vitro metabolism of omeprazole was studied in human liver microsomes in order to define the metabolic pathways and identify the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms responsible for the formation of the major omeprazole metabolites. 2 The four major metabolites identified in vitro, in tentative order of importance, were hydroxyomeprazole, omeprazole sulphone, 5-O-desmethylomeprazole, and an unidentified compound termed metabolite X. Omeprazole pyridone was also detected but could not be quantitated. Incubation of hydroxyomeprazole and omeprazole sulphone with human microsomes resulted in both cases in formation of the hydroxysulphone. The kinetics of formation of the four primary metabolites studied were biphasic suggesting the involvement of multiple CYP isoforms in each case. Further studies used substrate concentrations at which the high affinity activities predominated. 3 Formation of the major metabolite, hydroxyomeprazole, was significantly correlated with S-mephenytoin hydroxylase and with benzo[a]pyrene metabolism and CYP3A content. Inhibition studies with isoform selective inhibitors also indicated a dominant role of S-mephenytoin hydroxylase with some CYP3A contribution in the formation of hydroxyomeprazole. Correlation and inhibition data for the sulphone and metabolite X were consistent with a predominant role of the CYP3A subfamily in formation of these metabolites. Formation of 5-O-desmethylomeprazole was inhibited by both R, S-mephenytoin and quinidine, indicating that both S-mephenytoin hydroxylase and CYP2D6 may mediate this reaction in human liver microsomes and in vivo. The Vmax/Km (indicator of intrinsic clearance in vivo) for hydroxyomeprazole was four times greater than that for omeprazole sulphone. Consistent with findings in vivo, the results predict that omeprazole clearance in vivo would be reduced in poor metabolisers of mephenytoin due to reduction in the dominant partial metabolic clearance to hydroxyomeprazole.

5.8 Mechanism of Action

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) secretion into the gastric lumen is a process regulated mainly by the H(+)/K(+)-ATPase of the proton pump, expressed in high quantities by the parietal cells of the stomach. ATPase is an enzyme on the parietal cell membrane that facilitates hydrogen and potassium exchange through the cell, which normally results in the extrusion of potassium and formation of HCl (gastric acid). Omeprazole is a member of a class of antisecretory compounds, the substituted _benzimidazoles_, that stop gastric acid secretion by selective inhibition of the _H+/K+ ATPase_ enzyme system. Proton-pump inhibitors such as omeprazole bind covalently to cysteine residues via disulfide bridges on the alpha subunit of the _H+/K+ ATPase_ pump, inhibiting gastric acid secretion for up to 36 hours. This antisecretory effect is dose-related and leads to the inhibition of both basal and stimulated acid secretion, regardless of the stimulus. **Mechanism of H. pylori eradication** Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is frequently associated with _Helicobacter pylori_ bacterial infection (NSAIDs). The treatment of H. pylori infection may include the addition of omeprazole or other proton pump inhibitors as part of the treatment regimen,. _H. pylori_ replicates most effectively at a neutral pH. Acid inhibition in H. pylori eradication therapy, including proton-pump inhibitors such as omeprazole, raises gastric pH, discouraging the growth of H.pylori. It is generally believed that proton pump inhibitors inhibit the _urease_ enzyme, which increases the pathogenesis of H. pylori in gastric-acid related conditions.


Omeprazole is a selective and irreversible proton pump inhibitor. Omeprazole suppresses gastric acid secretion by specific inhibition of the hydrogen-potassium adenosinetriphosphatase (H+, K+-ATPase) enzyme system found at the secretory surface of parietal cells. It inhibits the final transport of hydrogen ions (via exchange with potassium ions) into the gastric lumen. Since the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system is regarded as the acid (proton) pump of the gastric mucosa, omeprazole is known as a gastric acid pump inhibitor. Omeprazole inhibits both basal and stimulated acid secretion irrespective of the stimulus.

Thomson.Micromedex. Drug Information for the Health Care Professional. 24th ed. Volume 1. Plus Updates. Content Reviewed by the United States Pharmacopeial Convention, Inc. Greenwood Village, CO. 2004., p. 2132


After oral administration, the onset of the antisecretory effect of omeprazole occurs within one hour, with the maximum effect occurring within two hours. Inhibition of secretion is about 50% of maximum at 24 hours and the duration of inhibition lasts up to 72 hours. The antisecretory effect thus lasts far longer than would be expected from the very short (less than one hour) plasma half-life, apparently due to prolonged binding to the parietal H + /K + ATPase enzyme. When the drug is discontinued, secretory activity returns gradually, over 3 to 5 days. The inhibitory effect of omeprazole on acid secretion increases with repeated once-daily dosing, reaching a plateau after four days.
