Sufotidine (INN,[1]USAN, codenamed AH25352) is a long-acting competitiveH2 receptorantagonist which was under development as anantiulcerant by Glaxo (nowGlaxoSmithKline).[2] It was planned to be a follow-up compound toranitidine (Zantac).[3] When taken in doses of 600 mg twice daily it induced virtually 24-hour gastric anacidity[4] thus closely resembling the antisecretory effect of theproton pump inhibitoromeprazole.[5] Its development was terminated in 1989[6] fromphase III clinical trials based on the appearance of carcinoid tumors in long-term toxicity testing in rodents.[7]
