    Abstract:

    In order to investigate the bactericidal effect of plaunotol, an oily Antiulcer Agent, against Helicobacter pylori, comparative studies were conducted using its derivatives, M-4, M-5, and M-6, whose hydrophobicity decreased in the order of plaunotol> M-6> M-5> M-4 by log P determination. Plaunotol rapidly reduced the viability of H. pylori in vitro, and cell death was associated with cell lysis. In addition, plaunotol showed eightfold stronger bactericidal activity against H. pylori than M-6 and M-5, while the compound with the lowest hydrophobicity, M-4, showed no bactericidal activity. The bactericidal activities of plaunotol and its derivatives were related to the hydrophobicity of these compounds. To investigate a possible interaction between these compounds and the cell membrane of H. pylori, their effects on liposomal membranes prepared from phosphatidylethanolamine and cardiolipin, which are known to be present in the membrane of H. pylori, were determined by detection of glucose release from the liposomes. Plaunotol showed eight-fold higher activity than M-6 and M-5, while M-4 showed no activity. The effects of plaunotol and its derivatives on liposomal membrane were therefore related to their bactericidal activities. In addition, it was confirmed that the bactericidal effect of plaunotol against H. pylori was neutralized by the liposomal membrane, and that plaunotol led to an increase in permeability of the membrane, as evidenced by measurement of the leakage of 260 nm absorbing-material from H. pylori. These results suggest that the bactericidal effect of plaunotol against H. pylori is due to the interaction between this compound and the bacterial cell membrane

  • in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activity of plaunotol a cytoprotective Antiulcer Agent against helicobacter pylori
    Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1996

    Abstract:

    Recently, some Antiulcer Agents have been reported to have antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori, which is highly associated with gastritis and peptic ulcers. In-vitro and in-vivo activity of plaunotol, a cytoprotective Antiulcer Agent, against H. pylori was investigated. Antibacterial activity of plaunotol against a standard strain (NCTC 11637) and 14 clinical isolates was compared with those of other cytoprotective Antiulcer Agents : benexate, sofalcone, teprenone, cetraxate, and gefarnate, by an agar dilution method. The MIC 50 and MIC 90 of plaunotol against 15 strains were 6.25 and 12.5 mg/L, respectively, making it the most potent of the cytoprotective Antiulcer Agents. The bactericidal effect of plaunotol was investigated using an in-vitro killing assay. Plaunotol at concentrations of more than 6 mg/L induced a rapid reduction of culture turbidity, with an extensive loss of viability, within 30 min. Observation by scanning electron microscopy revealed that plaunotol caused autolysis and treated cells were deformed. In-vivo activity of plaunotol against H. pylori was examined in a nude mouse gastritis model. Plaunotol significantly decreased the number of H. pylori in the stomach of nude mice. In addition, the Antiulcer Agent enhanced the antibacterial activity of amoxycillin or clarithromycin in the infection model.
