Mechanism of action

By acting as a partial agonist at the 5-HT4 receptor, DA-5219 increases acetylcholine release in the enteric nervous system, thereby promoting coordinated gastric muscle contractions. This mechanism facilitates the movement of food from the stomach into the small intestine, making it useful for treating functional gastrointestinal disorders characterized by impaired gastric motility.
