Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study demonstrated that new progesterone derivatives selectively act as bactericidal agents on Helicobacter pylori, a pathogen responsible for gastric cancer in human, but have no influence on the survival of other representative bacteria such as enterobacteria. These results indicate that progesterone could be a convenient structure for development of steroidal antibacterial medicines in the eradication of H. pylori in human stomach.
