Taxifolin and gastro-adhesive microparticles containing taxifolin promotes gastric healing in vivo, inhibits Helicobacter pylori in vitro and proton pump reversibly in silico. Chem Biol Interact 2021; 339:109445. [PMID: 33741339 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2021.109445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2020] [Revised: 02/22/2021] [Accepted: 03/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
Taxifolin (3,5,7,3,4-pentahydroxy flavanone or dihydroquercetin, Tax) was identified as a gastroprotective compound and a gastroadhesive formulation was recently developed to prolong its residence time and release in the stomach. So, the gastric healing effectiveness of Tax and gastro-mucoadhesive microparticles containing Tax (MPTax) against the acetic acid induced-gastric ulcer in rats was investigated in this study. Moreover, the interactions between Tax and H+/K+-ATPase were investigated in silico, and its anti- H. pylori activity was determined in vitro. The oral treatment with MPTax (81.37 mg/kg, containing 12.29% of Tax) twice a day for seven days reduced the ulcer area by 63%, compared to vehicle-treated group (Veh: 91.9 ± 10.3 mm2). Tax (10 mg/kg, p.o) reduced the ulcer by 40% but with a p = 0.07 versus Veh group. Histological analysis confirmed these effects. Tax and MPTax increased the gastric mucin amount, reduced the myeloperoxidase activity, and increased the glutathione reduced content at ulcer site. However, only MPTax decreased the lipoperoxide accumulation at ulcer site. Besides, Tax and MPTax normalize the catalase and glutathione S-transferase activity. Tax showed reversible interaction with H+/K+-ATPase in silico and its anti-H. pylori effects was confirmed (MIC = 625 μg/mL). These results suggest that the antiulcer property of Tax involves the strengthening of the gastric protective factors in parallel to its inhibitory interaction with H+/K+-ATPase and H. pylori. Considering that ulcer healing action displayed by Tax was favored by gastroadhesive microparticles, this approach seems to be promising for its oral delivery to treat acid-peptic diseases.

Abstract
The gastric proton pump (H+,K+-ATPase), a P-type ATPase responsible for gastric acidification, mediates electro-neutral exchange of H+ and K+ coupled with ATP hydrolysis, but with an as yet undetermined transport stoichiometry. Here we show crystal structures at a resolution of 2.5 Å of the pump in the E2-P transition state, in which the counter-transporting cation is occluded. We found a single K+ bound to the cation-binding site of the H+,K+-ATPase, indicating an exchange of 1H+/1K+ per hydrolysis of one ATP molecule. This fulfills the energy requirement for the generation of a six pH unit gradient across the membrane. The structural basis of K+ recognition is resolved and supported by molecular dynamics simulations, establishing how the H+,K+-ATPase overcomes the energetic challenge to generate an H+ gradient of more than a million-fold-one of the highest cation gradients known in mammalian tissue-across the membrane.

Crystal structures of the gastric proton pump. Nature 2018; 556:214-218.

Abstract
The gastric proton pump-the H+, K+-ATPase-is a P-type ATPase responsible for acidifying the gastric juice down to pH 1. This corresponds to a million-fold proton gradient across the membrane of the parietal cell, the steepest known cation gradient of any mammalian tissue. The H+, K+-ATPase is an important target for drugs that treat gastric acid-related diseases. Here we present crystal structures of the H+, K+-ATPase in complex with two blockers, vonoprazan and SCH28080, in the luminal-open state, at 2.8 Å resolution. The drugs have partially overlapping but clearly distinct binding modes in the middle of a conduit running from the gastric lumen to the cation-binding site. The crystal structures suggest that the tight configuration at the cation-binding site lowers the pK a value of Glu820 sufficiently to enable the release of a proton even into the pH 1 environment of the stomach.

Abstract
Although proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been used widely, acid-related diseases are still associated with a huge burden on the health care system. Recently, the efficacy and safety of a new acid suppressant named vonoprazan in the treatment of acid-related diseases have been evaluated by a series of studies. As a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker, vonoprazan may provide reversible acid suppression by preventing K+ from binding to gastric H+/K+-ATPase. It has been clinically used for the short-term treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in Japan. The healing rate of GERD and gastric ulcers by vonoprazan is more than 95 and 90%, respectively; also, it is effective in curing PPI-resistant GERD. It increases H. pylori eradication rate to more than 88% as part of both first-line and second-line therapy. It is also effective in the eradication of clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori strains. All of these short-term studies show vonoprazan is safe and well-tolerated. As a safe and effective acid inhibitor, vonoprazan might be a novel alternative in the treatment of acid-related diseases.

Abstract
The gastric proton pump H+,K+-ATPase acidifies the gastric lumen, and thus its inhibitors, including the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine class of K+-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs), have potential application as acid-suppressing drugs. We determined the electron crystallographic structure of H+,K+-ATPase at 6.5 Å resolution in the E2P state with bound BYK99, a potent P-CAB with a restricted ring structure. The BYK99 bound structure has an almost identical profile to that of a previously determined structure with bound SCH28080, the original P-CAB prototype, but is significantly different from the previously reported P-CAB-free form, illustrating a common conformational change is required for P-CAB binding. The shared conformational changes include a distinct movement of transmembrane helix 2 (M2), from its position in the previously reported P-CAB-free form, to a location proximal to the P-CAB binding site in the present BYK99-bound structure. Site-specific mutagenesis within M2 revealed that D137 and N138, which face the P-CAB binding site in our model, significantly affect the inhibition constant (Ki) of P-CABs. We also found that A335 is likely to be near the bridging nitrogen at the restricted ring structure of the BYK99 inhibitor. These provide clues to elucidate the binding site parameters and mechanism of P-CAB inhibition of gastric acid secretion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The gastric H(+) ,K(+) -ATPase is the preferred target for acid suppression. Until recently, the only drugs that effectively inhibited this ATPase were the proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). PPIs are acid-activated prodrugs that require acid protection. Once acid-activated, PPIs bind to cysteines of the ATPase, resulting in covalent, long-lasting inhibition. The short plasma half-life of PPIs and continual de novo synthesis of the H(+) ,K(+) -ATPase result in difficulty controlling night-time acid secretion. A new alternative to PPIs is the pyrrolo-pyridine, vonoprazan (TAK-438), a potassium-competitive acid blocker (PCAB) that does not require acid protection. In contrast to other PCABs, vonoprazan has a long duration of action, resulting in 24-h control of acid secretion, a high pKa of 9.37 and high affinity (Ki = 3.0 ηmol/L). AIM To determine binding selectivity of vonoprazan for the gastric H(+) ,K(+) -ATPase and to explain its slow dissociation. METHODS Gastric gland and parietal cell binding of vonoprazan was determined radiometrically. Molecular modelling explained the slow dissociation of vonoprazan from the H(+) ,K(+) -ATPase. RESULTS Vonoprazan binds selectively to the parietal cell, independent of acid secretion. Vonoprazan binds in a luminal vestibule between the surfaces of membrane helices 4, 5 and 6. Exit of the drug to the lumen is hindered by asp137 and asn138 in the loop between TM1 and TM2, which presents an electrostatic barrier to movement of the sulfonyl group of vonoprazan. This may explain its slow dissociation from the H(+) ,K(+) -ATPase and long-lasting inhibition. CONCLUSION The binding model provides a template for design of novel potassium-competitive acid blockers.
