Acotiamide is a prokinetic agent with gastrointestinal (GI) motility-enhancing activity. Although the exact mechanism by which acotiamide exerts its effect has yet to be fully elucidated, this agent appears to inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AchE), an enzyme responsible for the breakdown of acetylcholine (Ach). Increased Ach concentrations lead to an improvement of gastric emptying and GI motility and eventually to a reduction of dyspepsia symptoms. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Prokinetic agents. Its therapeutic use is listed as gastrointestinal agents. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include acotiamidum, Acofide and Dyspevict. Its PubChem CID is 5282338.
