The drug that blocks the activity of carbonic anhydrase will inhibit the reaction between CO2 and water to form carbonic acid (acidic condition) and, as the acidic condition (low pH) is inhibited, it will result in a higher pH during gastric digestion.

A drug that blocks the action of carbonic anhydrase in parietal cells would result in high pH during gastric digestion.

What is parietal cell?

  • "Acid-secreting cell of the stomach wall."

What is carbonic anhydrase?

  • Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme that catalyzes interconversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbonic acid (H2CO3)
  • The drug that block this enzyme will inhibit the reaction of conversion of CO2 and water to carbonic acid which results in the low acid secretion in stomach.

What is high pH?

  • "A high pH would make heavy metals less available, and, therefore, less toxic."

Hence, the drug blocking carbonic anhydrase will result in higher pH during digestion.
