Anti-infective properties of proton pump inhibitors: perspectives

Abstract: Infectious diseases are among the main causes of morbidity and mortality today. In facing this crisis, the development of new drug options and combat strategies is necessary. In this sense, drug repositioning or drug redirection has emerged for the faster identification of effective drugs. In this "Commentary," the anti-infective properties of the class of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are emphasized. Studies report activities against bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral agents. In addition, we have provide… Show more

“…They have demonstrated antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria ( S. aureus , E. faecalis ) and a number of Gram-negative bacteria ( P. aeruginosa , E. coli , A. baumannii , K. pneumoniae , E. cloacae , U. urealyticum ), as well as M. tuberculosis . Molecules with antimicrobial activity include esomeprazole, lansoprazole, omperazole, and pantoprazole ( Foletto et al, 2021a ; da Rosa et al, 2022 ). It has been proven that PPIs inhibit the activity of fluoroquinolone efflux pumps in S. aureus strains, which increases the activity of, among others, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin in staphylococcal infections ( Thangamani et al, 2015 ).…”

“…2 Potential candidates for repositioning in the treatment of bacterial infections (Younis et al, 2017). Anti-inflammatory drugs, antidepressants, antihypertensives, statins, proton pump inhibitors have been recognized as potential candidates in the process of drug repositioning in the treatment of infectious diseases (da Rosa et al, 2022).…”

“…For example, non-inflammatory nonsteroidal drugs alter the activity of Gram(+) bacteria and may enhance the antibiotic's effect and modulate immune system activity [84][85][86]. In addition, proton pump inhibitors have additional antimicrobial activities, which are difficult to assess in terms of clinical efficiency [87].…”
