Lubiprostone Usage And Synthesis
Description Marketed under the trade name Amitiza, Lubiprostone is a chloride channel activator which is mainly used for the treatment of idiopathic (due to an unknown cause) chronic constipation, predominantly irritable bowel syndrome-associated constipation in women and opioid-induced constipation. Lubiprostone is an oral medication approved by the FDA in January 2006.
The mechanism of action of lubiprostone is the same as chloride channel activator. It functions by binding and activating ClC-2 chloride channels in the apical membrane of the gastrointestinal epithelium, which produces an efflux of chloride-rich fluid secretion. The increased amounts of secretions are effective to soften the stool, increase motility, promote spontaneous bowel movements (SBM), and speed up transit of stool in the colon. Therefore, the relevant symptoms, such as abdominal pain and bloating, can be reduced.

Uses A locally acting chloride channel activator for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders
Uses Lubiprostone is a bicyclic fatty acid metabolite analog of Prostaglandin E1. It activates specific chloride channels in the gastrointestinal tract to stimulate intestinal fluid secretion, increase gastrointestinal transit, and improve symptoms of constipation.
