Mechanism of action

Ilaprazole binds to and inactivates the proton pump (H+/K+-ATPase) on the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells, preventing the final step of gastric acid production. This reduces intragastric acidity and allows healing of acid-related lesions. It is a benzimidazole-based PPI with a mechanism similar to omeprazole and lansoprazole.
