In vivo study | Polaprezinc (PZ) is an antiulcer drug and a chelating compound consisting of a zinc ion, L-carnosine, a β-alanine dipeptide and L-histidine. Polaprezinc exerts antioxidant effects and scavenges free radicals. The efficacy of Polaprezinc is reported for acute radiation proctitis in an animal model and demonstrates that Polaprezinc has an anti-inflammatory effect following exposure to radiation. |
Toxicity | LD50 in male, female mice, rats (mg/kg): 220, 165, 405, 422 i.p.; 758, 874, >5000, >5000 s.c.; 1269, 1331, 8441, 7375 orally (Matsuda) |

Application | Polyprizine is a new anti-ulcer drug developed by Japan's Hamari New Drug Co., Ltd. It is the first zinc-containing compound used in clinic. The drug was launched in Japan under the trade name Promac in 1994, and the dosage form is granule. |
use | polypryzine is an L-carnosine zinc complex. L-carnosine is a dipeptide composed of β-alanine and L-histidine. It is an antioxidant; zinc can promote wound healing. Clinical experimental data show that poly (zinc) has the effect of anti-oxidation and membrane stability, so as to maintain the balance of gastric mucosa and protect gastric mucosal cells. At the same time, it can also promote wound healing, enhance the effect of defense factors, and achieve the prevention and treatment of peptic ulcer. |
biological activity | Polaprezinc (Aprozinate, Carnosine zinc complex, Zinc L-carnosine) is a chelate with oral bioavailability, composed of zinc and L-carnosine, with potential antioxidant, anti-ulcer, anti-inflammatory and gastric protection activities. |
