Abstract
The invention describes novel nitrosated proton pump inhibitor compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and novel compositions comprising at least one nitrosated proton pump inhibitor compound, and, optionally, at least one compound that donates, transfers or releases nitric oxide, stimulates endogenous synthesis of nitric oxide, elevates endogenous levels of endothelium-derived relaxing factor or is a substrate for nitric oxide synthase, and/or at least one therapeutic agent. The invention also provides novel compositions comprising at least one nitrosated proton pump inhibitor compound, and at least one compound that donates, transfers or releases nitric oxide, elevates endogenous levels of endothelium-derived relaxing factor, stimulates endogenous synthesis of nitric oxide or is a substrate for nitric oxide synthase and/or at least one therapeutic agent. The invention also provides novel kits comprising at least one nitrosated proton pump inhibitor compound, and, optionally, at least one nitric oxide donor and/or at least one therapeutic agent. The invention also provides methods for treating gastrointestinal disorders; facilitating ulcer healing; decreasing the recurrence of ulcers; improving gastroprotective properties, anti-properties or antacid properties of proton pump inhibitors; decreasing or reducing the gastrointestinal toxicity associated with the use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory compounds; treating bacterial infections and/or viral infections.
