Smart drug delivery against Helicobacter pylori: pectin-coated, mucoadhesive liposomes with antiadhesive activity and antibiotic cargo
The first step in the development of Helicobacter pylori pathogenicity is the receptor-mediated adhesion to the gastric epithelium. Inhibition of outer membrane proteins of H . pylori (e.g. BabA) by antiadhesive drugs will contribute to reduced recolonization and infection. Pectin from apple inhibit...

Summary: | The first step in the development of
Helicobacter pylori
pathogenicity is the receptor-mediated adhesion to the gastric epithelium. Inhibition of outer membrane proteins of
H
.
pylori
(e.g. BabA) by antiadhesive drugs will contribute to reduced recolonization and infection. Pectin from apple inhibits the BabA and LPS-mediated adhesion of
H
.
pylori
to human stomach cells. Pectin-coated liposomes with encapsulated amoxicillin were characterized for polydispersity, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, stability, and amoxicillin release. Coated liposomes did not influence the viability of AGS and HT29-MTX cells up to 100 μg/mL but exert cytotoxicity against
H
.
pylori
at 10 μg/mL. Pectin-coating of liposomes provoked direct interaction and subsequent binding of the particles to surface structures of
H
.
pylori
, and interaction with mucus from porcine stomach and mucus secreted by HT29-MTX cells. Laser scanning microscopy of
H
.
pylori
and AGS cells together with liposomes indicated co-aggregation. The mucoadhesive effect seems interesting as stomach cells are covered by a mucus layer.
H
.
pylori
is able to penetrate and cross the mucin rapidly to reach pH-neutral epithelium to escape the acidic environment, followed by interaction with epithelial cells. In summary, all experimental evidence is consistent with a specific interaction of pectin-coated liposomes with mucins and surface structures of
H
.
pylori
. As the coated liposomes show mucoadhesion to the negatively charged mucins, docking to stomach mucin, mucus penetration, and recognition of and adhesion to
H
.
pylori
, they can be considered a novel type of multifunctional drug carriers for local antibiotic therapy against
H
.
pylori
.
Key points
• Smart, multifunctional mucoadhesive liposomes
• Specific targeting against BabA/LPS of Helicobacter pylori
• Inhibition of bacterial adhesion of H. pylori to human host cells
• Release of antibiotic cargo |
