Helidac Chemical Information

bismuth subsalicylate - A bismuth salt of salicylic acid. Little absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, bismuth subsalicylate exerts a local effect on the gastric mucosa, coating it and protecting it from the corrosive effects of acid and pepsin. This agent also has local antimicrobial properties. (NCI04)

metronidazole - A synthetic nitroimidazole derivative with antiprotozoal and antibacterial activities. Although its mechanism of action is not fully elucidated, un-ionized metronidazole is readily taken up by obligate anaerobic organisms and is subsequently reduced by low-redox potential electron-transport proteins to an active, intermediate product. Reduced metronidazole causes DNA strand breaks, thereby inhibiting DNA synthesis and bacterial cell growth.

tetracycline hydrochloride - The hydrochloride salt form of tetracycline, a broad-spectrum naphthacene antibiotic, produced semisynthetically from chlortetracycline, an antibiotic isolated from the Streptomyces aureofaciens. In bacteria, tetracycline hydrochloride blocks binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis and bacterial cell growth.
