Application

Racecadotril may be used to study enkephalinase-mediated cellular changes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inhibition of enkephalinase by Racecadotril prevents the breakdown of enkephalins in the gastrointestinal tract. This reduces secretion of water and electrolytes into the gut without affecting the mobility.
Neutral endopeptidase inhibitor; antidiarrheal
Racecadotril is a neutral endopeptidase inhibitor, an antidiarrheal drug which acts as a peripherally acting enkephalinase inhibitor.
