Description

Fenipentol is a zymogen granule inhibitor that blocks the formation of zymogens in the pancreas. It is effective in treating cystic fibrosis by preventing pancreatic enzymes from being released into the intestine, which prevents the release of digestive enzymes and mucus, thereby reducing fluid loss. Fenipentol inhibits hydrochloric acid secretion and water vapor excretion, both of which are necessary for digestion. This drug also has a molecular structure that is hydrolyzed by hydrochloric acid and degrades when exposed to water vapor. Fenipentol's active form is an analog of methoxyfenozide, but it is more potent than its predecessor because it binds more tightly to the enzyme target and inhibits glutamate pyruvate transaminase more efficiently.
