| 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. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Neutral endopeptidase inhibitor; antidiarrheal |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Racecadotril is a neutral endopeptidase inhibitor, an antidiarrheal drug which acts as a peripherally acting enkephalinase inhibitor. |
