Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Chronic idiopathic constipation is a common gastrointestinal disorder whose treatment is still far from being satisfactory for patients. Osmotic laxatives, in particular polyethylene glycol, are the first-line approach, but new emerging pharmacological agents may be useful in refractory patients.
AREAS COVERED: Published articles regarding the development and clinical efficacy of new agents in treating chronic idiopathic constipation were reviewed. 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 secretagogue 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.
EXPERT OPINION: Several new promising drugs have been released with the potential to be effective in the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation. 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.
