To discover a gastric antisecretory agent more potent than existing proton pump inhibitors, novel pyrrole derivatives were synthesized, and their H(+),K(+)-ATPase inhibitory activities and inhibitory action on histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion in rats were evaluated. Among the compounds synthesized, compound 17a exhibited selective and potent H(+),K(+)-ATPase inhibitory activity through reversible and K(+)-competitive ionic binding; furthermore, compound 17c exhibited potent inhibitory action on histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion in rats and Heidenhain pouch dogs.
