    Activation of a wide range of serotonin receptors by serotonin itself or by certain prokinetic drugs results in enhanced gastrointestinal motility. [ 3 ] Other prokinetic drugs may increase acetylcholine concentrations by stimulating the M 1 receptor which causes acetylcholine release, or by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase which ...

    The most common side effects reported with naltrexone are gastrointestinal complaints such as diarrhea and abdominal cramping. [3] These adverse effects are analogous to the symptoms of opioid withdrawal, as the μ-opioid receptor blockade will increase gastrointestinal motility. The side effects of naltrexone by incidence are as follows: [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisapride

    Cisapride is a gastroprokinetic agent, a drug that increases motility in the upper gastrointestinal tract. It acts directly as a serotonin 5-HT 4 receptor agonist and indirectly as a parasympathomimetic. Stimulation of the serotonin receptors increases acetylcholine release in the enteric nervous system.

    Lubiprostone is a bicyclic fatty acid [15] derived from prostaglandin E1 that acts by specifically activating ClC-2 chloride channels on the apical aspect of gastrointestinal epithelial cells, producing a chloride-rich fluid secretion. These secretions soften the stool, increase motility, and promote spontaneous bowel movements.
