]]'''Esomeprazole''' is the (S) enantiomer of Omeprazole. Esomperazole is a '''Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI)''' that binds to '''H+/K+-ATPase''' and inhibits the secretion of gastric acid from parietal cells into the lumen of the stomach. Esomeprazole’s commercial brand name, Nexium, is used to treat Gastro-esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), peptic and gastric ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.[CITATION??] | ]]'''Esomeprazole''' is the (S) enantiomer of Omeprazole.
