Pharmacotherapeutic advances for chronic idiopathic constipation in adults. (PubMed, Expert Opin Pharmacother) - "Among emerging agents, elobixibat, a drug blocking the reabsorption of bile acids, is a promising one, especially in slow transit constipation. Linaclotide, lubiprostone and plecanatide, by a secretacogue action, improve stool consistency and increase colonic transit. Apart from prucalopride, approved in Europe for refractory chronic idiopathic constipation patients, the selective 5-HT4 agonists velusetrag and naronapride are in advanced development. In addition, relamorelin, a ghrelin agonist, seems promising for accelerating colonic transit...On the other hand, the experience with these new agents is still limited, especially for long-term treatment. Another important point is that these new treatments for chronic idiopathic constipation are not available worldwide and their use could be somewhat limited by their still relatively high cost."

Prokinetic actions of luminally acting 5-HT receptor agonists. (PubMed, Neurogastroenterol Motil) - "Non-absorbed 5-HT R agonists, based on prucalopride and naronapride, were assessed for potency at the 5-HT R in vitro, and for tissue and serum distribution in vivo in mice. Immunoreactivity for 5-HT R is present in the epithelial layer of the human small and large intestines. These findings demonstrated that stimulation of epithelial 5-HT Rs can potentiate propulsive motility and support the concept that mucosal 5-HT Rs could represent a safe and effective therapeutic target for the treatment of constipation."

Efficacy of drugs in chronic idiopathic constipation: a systematic review and network meta-analysis. (PubMed, Lancet Gastroenterol Hepatol) - "Almost all drugs studied were superior to placebo, according to either failure to achieve three or more CSBMs per week or or failure to achieve an increase of one or more CSBM per week over baseline. Although diphenyl methane laxatives ranked first at 4 weeks, patients with milder symptoms might have been included in these trials. Prucalopride ranked first at 12 weeks, and many of the included trials recruited patients who previously did not respond to laxatives, suggesting that this drug is likely to be the most efficacious for patients with chronic idiopathic constipation. However, because treatment duration in most trials was 4-12 weeks, the long-term relative efficacy of these drugs is unknown."
