Esomeprazole accumulates in the stimulated secretory canaliculus of the parietal cell. As H+ is being transported by the ATPase, the second H+ is added onto the benzimidazole moiety (2) [7]. The bis-protonated forms are in equilibrium with the unprotonated pyridine and protonated benzimidazole rings [7].The protonated benzimidazole ring reacts with the unprotonated pyridine moiety enabling intramolecular rearrangement, resulting in a tetracyclic sulfenic acid (3) [7]. The sulfenic acid is dehydrated to form an active sulfenamide; both are thiophilic agents that are permanently cationic and membrane impermeable (4) [16]. Sulfenamide can form disulfide bonds with Cys813 residues located between TM5 and TM6 loops and a Cys892 located between the TM7 and TM8 loops on the α subunit of the H+/K+-ATPase(5) [17]. |

Introduction
Ulcers caused by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori can be treated using Esomeprazole in conjunction with proper antibiotics [1]. Gastric acid is released through the H+/K+-ATPase pump, which is the final step in acid release [2]. Esomeprazole is a specific, irreversible inhibitor of the pump [2].
Function of PPIs[6]
H+/K+-ATPase
The H+/K+-ATPase pump is part of the P-type ATPase family located within the cytoplasmic membrane of resting parietal cells; powered through ATP hydrolysis, the ATPase is translocated to the canalicular membrane and begins to pump cytoplasmic H+ into the canalicular space, in exchange for extracellular K+ ions. H+/K+-ATPase is an α,β-heterodimeric enzyme, where the catalytic site is present in the α subunit [7]. Transmembrane segments TM4, TM5, TM6, and TM8, are located in the α subunit and contain the ion binding region of the enzyme [7]. Binding of ions and ATP to these domains will induce movements in the membrane domain that catalyze ion displacement [7]. Targeting this enzyme using PPIs is the most effective therapeutic control agent of gastric acid secretion [8].

Inhibition of H+/K+ ATPase [10]
Conformational Change and Signaling Pathway of H+/K+-ATPase
Inorganic Pi produced from the hydrolysis of ATP drives a conformational change in the enzyme and allows release of H+ into the highly acidic environment [11]. The enzyme catalyzes this reaction by changing conformation states between E1 and E2 [12].![Conformational Change. The reaction begins when a hydronium ion binds to the enzyme on the cytoplasmic surface [12]. MgATP will phosphorylate the enzyme at an Asp386 residue in a DKTG amino acid sequence to form the E1~Pi H+ intermediate [12]. E1 undergoes a conformational change to form E2, where the ion site is exposed and H+ is released at a pH ~ 1.0 [7]. Extracellular K+ ions then bind to the same exposed region and the enzyme dephosphorylates [7]. An occluded form of the enzyme (trapped) is formed once K+ ions bind; the enzyme de-occludes, reforms the E1 complex, and K+ is released [7].](/wiki/images/thumb/4/4e/E1_to_e2.gif/300px-E1_to_e2.gif)
H+/K+-ATPase signal pathway (acetylcholine, histamine, and gastrin) activates the pump in order to move the vesicles toward the lumen [13]. These signals bind to their corresponding receptors and activate the cAMP and Ca2+ dependent pathways [13]. Increased levels of intracellular Ca2+ and cAMP will promote the translocation of vesicles to the canalicular membrane, activating the H+/K+-ATPase [13]. Histamine binds to Histamine H2, and sends a signal through a G protein which activates adenylate cyclase, and catalyzes the conversion of ATP to cAMP [13].Gastrin will stimulate the release of histamine by binding to CCK2 [13]. Acetylcholine binds to Muscarinic M3 and releases Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum [13].

Esomeprazole Mechanism
Esomeprazole is protonated twice within the acidic environment, and forms the active inhibitor—achiral sulfenamide at pKa of 1.0 [15].![Activation of Esomeprazole to sulfonamide [7].

Esomeprazole Resistance
Resistance to treatment with PPIs, including Esomeprazole, has been speculated among Barrett’s Esophagus (BE) patients who did not indicate any symptomatic improvement after being placed on a standard PPI drug dose [20]. No contributory mutations causing PPI resistance have been found [20]. It is speculated that the high acid exposure in BE patients may be due to “reflux diathesis” rather than resistance to gastric acid secretion [21]. Other possible reasons for PPI failure include Helicobacter pylori infection, rapid metabolism, and bioavailability; reasons of clinical significance include delayed gastric emptying and visceral hypersensitivity [20]. More studies need to be conducted to understand the mechanisms underlying the development of resistance to PPIs [20].
