Bisacodyl is a stimulant laxative used for the temporary relief of occasional constipation and cleansing of the colon as preparation for colonoscopy in adults.
Bisacodyl is deacetylated to the active bis-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-pyridyl-2-methane (BHPM) by an intestinal deacetylase. BHPM can stimulate parasympathetic nerves in the colon directly to increase motility and secretions. Bisacodyl stimulates adenylate cyclase, increasing cyclic AMP, leading to active transport of chloride and bicarbonate out of cells. Sodium ions, potassium ions, and water passively leave the cell, while sodium and chloride ions are unable to be reabsorbed. Bisacodyl directly stimulates parasympathetic nerves in the colon, stimulating contraction of longitudinal smooth muscle but not circular smooth muscle.
