Mechanism of Action

Lansoprazole is a substituted benzimidazole, and is also known as PPI due to its property to block the final step of acid secretion by inhibiting H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system in gastric parietal cell. Both basal and stimulated acid are inhibited. Onset: Oral: 1-3 hr. Duration: Oral: >1 day. Absorption: Rapidly absorbed from the GI tract (oral). Reduced absorption and bioavailability (approx 50%) w/ food. Bioavailability: ≥80%. Time to peak plasma concentration: Approx 1.5-2 hr. Distribution: Volume of distribution: 14-18 L. Plasma protein binding: Approx 97%. Metabolism: Hepatic metabolism via CYP2C19 isoenzyme to form 5-hydroxyl-lansoprazole and CYP3A4 to form lansoprazole sulfone. Excretion: Mainly in faeces via the bile; 15-30% of a dose via urine. Plasma elimination half-life: Approx 1-2 hr.
