Sucralfate

Sucralfate (Sucrose octasulfate-aluminum complex) is a potent and orally active gastroprotectant with no systemic effects. Sucralfate inhibits peptic activity and binds to negatively charged subepithelial proteins exposed during mucosal injury, forming a viscous layer that protects the vascular bed and proliferative zone. Sucralfate is used for prevention and research of several gastrointestinal diseases in vivo[1][2].
