How It Works

Acotiamide is a prokinetic agent that enhances gastric motility and accelerates gastric emptying by antagonizing dopamine D2 receptors and inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, thereby increasing acetylcholine levels in the gastrointestinal tract.

Mechanism Steps

1Acotiamide binds to and antagonizes dopamine D2 receptors in the gastrointestinal tract.
2It also inhibits acetylcholinesterase, increasing acetylcholine levels.
3Increased acetylcholine stimulates muscarinic receptors, enhancing gastric motility.
