Constipation: Understanding

Constipation: Overview

Constipation is a condition in which you may have fewer than three bowel movements a week; stools that are hard, dry, or lumpy; stools that are difficult or painful to pass; or a feeling that not all stool has passed. In many patients, constipation is associated with sluggish movement of stool through the colon. This delay may be due to drugs, organic conditions, or a disorder of defecatory function (ie, pelvic floor dysfunction), or a disorder that results from diet. Certain findings raise suspicion of a more serious etiology of chronic constipation: Distended, tympanitic abdomen, vomiting, blood in stool, weight loss and severe constipation of recent onset/worsening in older patients. Chronic constipation with modest abdominal discomfort in a patient who has used laxatives for a long time suggests slow-transit constipation. Acute constipation coincident with the start of a constipating drug in patients without red flag findings suggests the drug is the cause. New-onset constipation that persists for weeks or occurs intermittently with increasing frequency or severity, in the absence of a known cause, suggests colonic tumor or other causes of partial obstruction. Excessive straining or prolonged or unsatisfactory defecation, with or without anal digitation, suggests a defecatory disorder. Patients with fecal impaction may have cramps and may pass watery mucus or fecal material around the impacted mass, mimicking diarrhea (overflow diarrhea). Patients with chronic constipation who do not meet the criteria for IBS may have functional constipation. Constipation with a clear etiology (drugs, trauma, bed rest) may be treated symptomatically without further study. Patients with symptoms of bowel obstruction require flat and upright abdominal x-rays, possibly a water-soluble contrast enema to evaluate for colonic obstruction, and possibly a CT scan or barium x-ray of the small intestine. Most patients without a clear etiology should have colonoscopy and a laboratory evaluation (complete blood count, thyroid-stimulating hormone, fasting glucose, electrolytes, and calcium). Constipation is common among older people because of low-fiber diets, lack of exercise, coexisting medical conditions, and use of constipating drugs. Many older people have misconceptions about normal bowel habits and use laxatives regularly. Other changes that predispose older people to constipation include increased rectal compliance and impaired rectal sensation (such that larger rectal volumes are needed to elicit the desire to defecate).

“Constipation- Pipeline Insight, 2024"" report by DelveInsight outlays comprehensive insights of present scenario and growth prospects across the indication.

Constipation Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Constipation report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Constipation Emerging Drugs

• Pradigastat : Anji Pharma

ANJ908 (Pradigastat) has the potential to markedly improve treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) and irritable bowel syndrome-associated constipation (IBS-C), two prevalent diseases with few effective treatments. The inhibition of DGAT1 by ANJ908 changes the intestinal milieu, namely by raising the level of fatty acids in the gut lumen. This leads to increased colon motility and water secretion, two necessary attributes for effective constipation therapy. Anji has initiated a Phase 2 trial of ANJ908 (pradigastat) in patients with functional constipation.

• YH 12852 : Yuhan

YH12852, a Potent and Selective Receptor Agonist of 5-hydroxytryptamine, Increased Gastrointestinal Motility in Healthy Volunteers and Patients with Functional Constipation. Currently, the drug is in Phase 1/2a Trial of YH12852 in Healthy Subjects and Patients with Functional Constipation.

• RQ 00000010 : RaQualia Pharma

RQ-00000010 is a highly-selective serotonin receptor subtype 5HT4 partial-agonist that promotes the motility of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. With Phase 1 clinical trials of this compound completed, the compound's superior safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profiles have also been confirmed as expected, with its powerful efficacy in accelerating gastric emptying in humans clearly demonstrated as well. Based on these characteristics, the compound is seen as a promising therapeutic agent for functional gastrointestinal disorders such as gastroparesis and functional dyspepsia, as well as for chronic constipation and other indications.

• RQ 00433412 : RaQualia Pharma

RQ-00433412 is a novel small molecule having a ghrelin receptor agonistic activity. RQ-00433412 exhibited highly selective and potent agonistic activity against the human ghrelin receptor. RQ-00433412 induced defecation in chronic spinal cord-injured rats without increasing the fecal water content, showing no desensitization following repeated treatment. These profiles suggest a therapeutic potential of RQ-00433412 for constipation in SCI patients with low risk of unplanned bowel evacuation/incontinence. Currently, the drug is in pre-clinical stage of development.
