  "field": "Oncology and biomedicine",
  "definition": "The succinate salt form of prucalopride, an orally bioavailable dihydro-benzofuran-carboxamide and selective serotonin (5-HT4) receptor agonist, with gastrointestinal (GI) prokinetic activity. Upon oral administration, prucalopride specifically targets, binds to and stimulates the 5-HT4 receptor. This alters colonic motility patterns and stimulates colonic mass movements. This may normalize bowel movements and may relief chronic constipation. In addition, by increasing esophageal and gastric motility, prucalopride may also provide relief for aspiration-associated symptoms.",
