8. Biochemical Produced By H. Pylori
Vacuolating toxin (VacA)
Damage epithelial cells & causes apoptosis
HCP(Helicobacter cysteine-rich protein)
It triggers immune response & causes Inflammation
EGFR(epidermal growth factor receptor)
It activated by H. Pylori and altered the signal transduction &gene
expression in host cells

9. Genes involved in pathogenesis
In 2010 studied that it present a comprehensive analysis and it
confirmed that acid induction of major virulence is due to the
gene
A.Cag PAI (Pathogenicity island)
It contains 30 genes
Steps
1. Attachment of H. Pylori to epithelium
2. Type IV secretion system expressed by Cag PAI
3. Inject an inflammatory sensor NOD1
4. Stimulation of cytokines & It promote inflammation
B. Cag A (Cytotoxic associated gene A)
Breaks the cell integrity junction and also stimulate cytokine
production within cell05/06/18 9
14. Zollinger – Ellison syndrome
Tumors of the gastrin secreting endocrine cells of the pancreas or, less
frequently, the duodenal wall.
Leads to excessive acid production by the G.I. tract.
Development of serious and aggressive peptic ulcers.
Complications can include perforation, hemorrhage and obstruction.

15. Treatment
1. Drugs that inhibit gastric acid secretion
I. H2 receptor blockers: Cimetidine, Ranitidine, Famotidine
II. Proton pump inhibitors: Omeprazole, Pantoprazole, esomeprazole
III. Anticholinergic : Pirenzepine
IV. Prostaglandin analogues: Misoprostol
2. Drugs that neutralize gastric acid (Antacids)
I. Systemic: Sodium bicarbonate, sodium citrate
II. Non systemic: Mag. Trisilicate, Aluminium hydroxide gel, Magaldrate
3. Ulcer protective
I. Sucralfate
II. Colloidal Bismuth Sulfate (CBS)
4. Anti H. Pylori drugs
I. Amoxicillin, Clarithromycin, Metronidazole, Tinidazole, Tetracycline

17. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors & Sulfonamide
drugs
05/06/18 17
A new target for developing sulfonamide& sulfamate gastric drug
Alpha carbonic anhydrase inhibiter CA-I & CA-IV responsible for HCl secretion
in vivo results performed in humans shows omeprazole inhibit not only H+/k ATPase but also CA-
I & CA-IV
further gastric acid secretion is inhibited in humans after oral administration of acetazolamide dose
of 25mg/kg
acetazolamide exhibits antiulcer action in acute experiments because inhibition of CA, but its
effect on gastric ATPase is not clear.
SULFONAMIDE
It is a wide class inhibiters of the zinc enzyme CA a library sulfonamide are investigated for the
inhibition of H.pylori CA,
Whereas new derivative have been Investigating by attaching 4-tert-butyl-phenylcarboxamido to benzene
sulfonamide.
18. Cont…
All types of activity for inhibition of hpCA have been detected
• Dorzolamide and simple 4-substituted benzene sulfonamides were weak
Inhibitors (KI 873-4360 nM)
• Sulfanilamide, orthanilamide, and indisulam showed better activity (KI 413-
640 nM)
• Methazolamide, Brinzolamide,Topiramate, Zonisamide, acted as medium-potency
inhibitors (KI 105-378nM).
• Clinically used inhibitors, such as In vivo results with the data obtained it
suggest that gastric mucosa of CA-I&CA-IV inhibition is induced by
sulfonamide and it is active form of omeprazole
• therefore hpCA is essential for the survival of the pathogenic acid, it might be
used as a new pharmacologic tool in the management of drug-resistant H.
Pylori.

20. Gastrin Receptor Antagonist
Gastrin low in fasting & take meal increase in level 15-30min.
CCK which has the C-terminal penta peptide in common with gastrin in
isolated parietal cells.
CCK -1 receptor produce somatostatin from D cells .
Gastrin mainly act on CCK-2 receptor
CCK -2 non peptide receptor antagonist have been identified includes
Proglumide
Spiroglumide
L-365260
YM-022
RP-73870
S-0509

21. Gastrin releasing peptide
Bombesin receptor antagonist
The receptor found in the smooth muscle cells of the intestinal tract.
In humans , exogenous administration of these peptides release most GIT
hormones including Gastrin & Somatostatin , therefore the effect of
intravenous GRP on gastric secretion is the sum of direct &indirect
stimulatory as well as inhibitory mechanism.
BIM-26226
It is potent and specific antagonist for GRP- Bombesin receptor.
The potency of BIM-26226 was demonstrated by complete inhibition of gastric acid
output and plasma gastric release stimulated by supramaximal doses of IV GRP.

22. Future prospective
To understand better the physiology of H. Pylori & its pathogenic
interaction with the host , thus the identification of new target for
therapeutic aspects.
Reversible proton pump antagonist – Timoprazole
Cytoprotective agent – Rebamipide
H. Pylori Vaccination
To identify protective antigenic determinants of known structure, & how to
stimulate the common mucosal immune system.
