Background: Helicobacter pylori has become increasingly resistant to all commonly used clinical antibiotics. Therefore, new anti-H. pylori drugs need to be identified. Recently, quinones were found to inhibit growth of H. pylori with quinone-derived small-molecule compounds identified as having antitumor effects.
Methods: The minimum inhibitory concentrations of the compounds against H. pylori were measured by agar plate dilution method. The inhibition of biofilm formation by the compounds was assessed by SYTO9-PI double staining. The reactive oxygen species induced by the compounds were detected by DCFH-DA stain. The clearance effects of the compounds for H. pylori in mouse were evaluated by counting colony-forming units and hematoxylin and eosin staining.
Results: Our results revealed strong inhibition of M5N32 in vitro against H. pylori in both the planktonic and biofilm-forming states. Resistance to M5N32 was not developed in successive generations of the bacteria. In vivo, the combination of M5N32 and omeprazole showed enhanced effects in comparison to the standard triple therapy. M5N32 was nontoxic to normal tissues.
Conclusions: M5N32 is effective in the treatment of H. pylori infections, providing potential development of anti-H. pylori medicines in the treatment of H. pylori infections.

() is associated with the development of various stomach diseases, one of the major risk factors for stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD). The infection score between tumor and normal groups was compared by single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA). The key modules related to infection were identified by weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA), and functional enrichment analysis was conducted on these module genes.

A 65-year-old woman with a history of gastritis and diabetes presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and weight loss. Initial esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed pyloric stenosis with thickened prepyloric gastric folds, and endoscopic biopsy revealed SV without malignancy.

The management of acid-based disorders was transformed in the 1980s with the advent of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which target the hydrogen-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (proton pump) of the parietal cell. Potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs), a newer class of medications, act at the same proton pump through a novel mechanism resulting in profound and sustained acid suppression. Although trials in Asian populations over the past decades have highlighted the potential benefit of P-CABs, clinical trials in Western populations have been initiated more recently.

Oxidative stress contributes to the development of cardiometabolic diseases and cancers. Numerous studies have highlighted the adverse effects of high reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in the progression of chronic noncommunicable diseases and also during infections. On the other hand, antioxidants play a crucial role in preventing oxidative stress or postponing cell damage via the direct scavenging of free radicals or indirectly via the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE pathway, among others.
