Despite their short half-lives (2 hrs), proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) cause a prolonged suppression of acid secretion (up to 48 h) because:
They are prodrugs and undergo activation gradually
They exit from plasma and enter acid secretory canaliculi and stay there, blocking the secretion of acid for a long time
They irreversibly inhibit the proton pump molecule and hence, acid secretion requires synthesis of new proton pumps
They are available as enteric coated capsules,from which drug is gradually released
