Popis: The motility of Helicobacter pylori was maximum at 37°C and at pH 6. A newly developed proton pump inhibitor, rabeprazole (RPZ), and its thioether derivative (RPZ-TH) markedly inhibited the motility of H. pylori . The concentrations of the drug necessary to inhibit 50% of the motility were 0.25, 16, 16, and >64 μg/ml for RPZ-TH, RPZ, lansoprazole, and omeprazole, respectively. No such inhibitory effects were observed with H 2 blockers or anti- H. pylori agents. The motilities of Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli —but not those of Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139, Vibrio parahaemolyticus , Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, and Proteus mirabilis —were also inhibited. Prolonged incubation with RPZ or RPZ-TH inhibited bacterial growth of only H. pylori , except for a turbid colony mutant. The results indicate that RPZ and RPZ-TH have a characteristic inhibitory effect against the motility of H. pylori (spiral-shaped bacteria), which is distinguished from that against bacterial growth.
