Lubiprostone is a locally acting chloride channel activator. It boosts the secretion of chloride-rich fluid into the intestine without changing sodium or potassium levels in the blood. It works by specifically activating ClC-2, a channel normally present in the apical membrane of the human intestinal lining. This rise in intestinal fluid secretion increases intestinal motility, which helps stool pass more easily and eases the symptoms of constipation. After a dose, lubiprostone and its metabolites are found only on the apical (luminal) side of the gastrointestinal lining. Its activation of ClC-2 also helps restore mucosal barrier function by rebuilding tight junction protein complexes. Symptom relief is typically felt within 24 hours.
