The aim of the present study was the investigation of the pharmacokinetics of bismuth after application of different preparations of colloid bismuth subcitrate (CBS; CAS 57644-54-9). 6 healthy volunteers were recommended to take a solution containing 240 mg CBS b.d. before breakfast and before the evening meal for 2 weeks, whereas 6 other volunteers received tablets containing 120 mg CBS 2 b.d. In both groups resulting daily CBS dose was 480 mg. On day 7 and day 14, 24 h urine excretion of bismuth was found to be significantly lower after application of the solution as compared to the one after application of the tablet (day 7: solution 110 micrograms/day--table 872 micrograms/day; day 14: solution 133 micrograms/day--table 872 micrograms/day; p < 0.05). After a single dose of 240 mg of CBS plasma AUC amounted to 42.8 micrograms/ml.h and 4.2 micrograms/ml.h after application of the tablet and the solution, respectively. Our results demonstrate that systemic bismuth load is markedly lower after application of the CBS solution as compared to the CBS tablet.

Pyroptosis, a form of inflammatory programmed cell death, plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of various diseases. This process is primarily mediated by the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3). Gastrodenol (Bismuth tripotassium dicitrate, GAS) is a mineral compound which is used to treat duodenal and gastric ulcers associated with Helicobacter pylori.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of different amoxicillin (AMX) dosing schedules on bismuth quadruple therapy in treatment-naïve patients. A total of 139 -infected patients received a 2-week eradication regimen consisting of 50 mg tegoprazan, 500 mg clarithromycin, and 300 mg bismuth tripotassium dicitrate twice daily, 1000 mg AMX twice daily (BID group), or 500 mg AMX four times daily (QID group). We performed a urea breath test to evaluate eradication eight weeks after treatment and compared the eradication rate, patient compliance, and adverse drug events between the BID and QID groups.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of colloidal bismuth subcitrate (CBS) in eliminating H. pylori infections in children aged 5-18, using data from a national pediatric registry.
  • Out of 682 patients in the registry, 38 were treated with CBS, and 93.8% of those treated successfully eradicated the infection, showing better results compared to non-CBS treatments.
  • The findings indicate that CBS therapies can be highly effective even in patients with prior unsuccessful treatments, although they were used in a limited scope and at lower-than-ideal dosages.
