Debridat Mechanism Of Action

It is suggested that trimebutine binds with high affinity to the inactivated state of the calcium channel. The decrease in calcium influx reduces the depolarization of the membrane and reduces the peristalsis of the colon. It also inhibits external K + currents in response to depolarization of smooth muscle cells GI resting to the membranes, which by inhibiting K + channels delayed rectifier and K + channel-dependent Ca2 +, which induces muscle contraction. Trimebutine binds to mu opioid receptors with more selectivity compared to delta or kappa opioid receptors but with lower affinity than their natural ligands. Metabolites (N-monodesmethyl-nor-trimebutine or trimebutine) at opoid receptors also bind to brain membranes and myenteric synaptosomes.
