A quinolinecarboxylic acid represented by general formula (C) or a medicinally acceptable salt thereof, each having a serotonergic receptor-stimulating effect on sertonin 4 receptors. In said formula, C represents hydroxymethyl, methoxy, ethoxy or morpholinyl. Therefore they have the effect of activating digestive motion and are efficacious in ameliorating chronic gastritis, diabetes and various diseases accompanying the lowering of stomach motility and gastric excretory function after gastrectomy, such as heartburn, anorexia, epigastralgia and abdominal swelling, and in treating reflux esophagitis, false ileus and constipation. <CHEM> |
