Abstract:
Pirenzepine has been widely used for the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcer. In this work we have proved that this drug could prevent the inflammatory reaction induced in the colon with an intraluminal stimuli as the acetic acid. These data suggest the cholinergic participation in the inflammatory colonic response.
