11-Methyl 16,16 Dimethyl Prostaglandin E2 (TM-PGE) was administered orally to man in dosages of 2.5, 5,7.5 and 10 microgram/kg. Maximal inhibition of basal secretion was 52 and 78% and submaximal histamine-stimulated secretion 45 and 70% for volume and acid output, respectively. Secretory inhibition was observed for approximately two hours after ingestion of the drug. No effect was observed on serum gastrin levels. Side effects occurred with equal frequency in the placebo and drug groups. TM-PGE is well tolerated and inhibits both basal and submaximal histamine-stimulated acid secretion in man. Further evaluation may prove it to be helpful in the clinical treatment of acid hypersecretory states and peptic ulcer disease.
