Sun Yat-sen University Reports Findings in Helicobacter pylori (Chebulinic Acid Isolated From Aqueous Extracts of terminalia Chebula Retz Inhibits helicobacter Pylori Infection By Potential Binding To Cag a Protein and Regulating...).

A recent study conducted at Sun Yat-sen University in Shenzhen, People's Republic of China, explored the potential of chebulinic acid, derived from Terminalia chebula Retz, as an anti-Helicobacter pylori (HP) agent. The research found that chebulinic acid effectively inhibited the growth of HP, damaged its structure, and suppressed the expression of the Cytotoxin-associated gene A (Cag A) protein, a crucial factor in HP infection. The study concluded that chebulinic acid shows promise in combating HP infections by disrupting the adhesion of HP to host cells. [Extracted from the article]
