Abstract
Growth of Helicobacter pylori was inhibited by the quinones, idebenone, duroquinone, menadione, juglone, and coenzyme Q(1) at low concentrations of 0.8 to 3.2 mug/ml. Idebenone specifically inhibited H. pylori growth by inhibiting respiration and decreasing the cellular ATP level. The respiratory inhibition was accompanied by reduction of idebenone by the H. pylori cells.Entities:
