Membrane activity of niclosamide. (A–D) Membrane potential. Fluorescence probe Disc3(5) loaded H. pylori was treated with (A) Valinomycin; (B) Niclosamide; (C) Amoxicillin; (D) CCCP and the fluorescence was recorded before and after treatment. Niclosamide caused decreased transmembrane pH, whereas positive control agent valinomycin perturbed membrane potential. Data depicts three independent experiments. (E) Membrane permeability. H. pylori was loaded with Sytox green fluorescence probe and 0.5 h later, treated with niclosamide and the cellular fluorescence was measured. Niclosamide did not cause membrane damage of H. pylori but the oxyclozanide (positive control) cause membrane damage. Data represent the mean ± SEM (n = 3).
