Gastroprotective properties of 11-deoxymisoprostol (prostaglandin E1 analog) and its effect on the level of sialic acids in gastric tissue of rats with peptic ulcer.

11-Deoxymisoprostol (prostaglandin E1 analog) exhibited a pronounced gastroprotective effect on various models of experimental ulcers induced by nonsteroid antiinflammatory drugs. A relationship between high resistance of the gastroduodenal mucosa under the effect of 11-deoxymisoprostol and changes in the level of sialic acid was detected.
