Abstract

It is difficult to regard sofalcone as a single drug for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. However, sofalcone exerts multiple effects against H. pylori: it has antibacterial activity, induces morphological changes, inhibits adhesion to gastric mucin and inhibits lipolytic activity. The safety profile of sofalcone even on long-term administration is well established. Therefore, it may be possible to establish a new triple therapy for H. pylori infection using sofalcone combined with antibacterial drugs and proton pump inhibitors.
