In this paper, we evaluated the anti- Helicobacter pylori  activity and the possible inhibitory effect on its associated urease by Palmatine (Pal) from  Coptis chinensis , and explored the potential underlying mechanism. Results indicated that Pal exerted inhibitory effect on four tested  H .  pylori  strains (ATCC 43504, NCTC 26695, SS1 and ICDC 111001) by the agar dilution test with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 100 to 200 μg/mL under neutral environment (pH 7.4), and from 75 to 100 μg/mL under acidic conditions (pH 5.3), respectively. Pal was observed to significantly inhibit both  H .  pylori  urease (HPU) and jack bean urease (JBU) in a dose-dependent manner, with IC 50  values of 0.53 ± 0.01 mM and 0.03 ± 0.00 mM, respectively, as compared with acetohydroxamic acid, a well-known urease inhibitor (0.07 ± 0.01 mM for HPU and 0.02 ± 0.00 mM for JBU, respectively). Kinetic analyses showed that the type of urease inhibition by Pal was noncompetitive for both HPU and JBU. Higher effectiveness of thiol protectors against urease inhibition than the competitive Ni 2+  binding inhibitors was observed, indicating the essential role of the active-site sulfhydryl group in the urease inhibition by Pal. DTT reactivation assay indicated that the inhibition on the two ureases was reversible, further supporting that sulfhydryl group should be obligatory for urease inhibition by Pal. Furthermore, molecular docking study indicated that Pal interacted with the important sulfhydryl groups and inhibited the active enzymatic conformation through N-H  ∙  π interaction, but did not interact with the active site Ni 2+ . Taken together, Pal was an effective inhibitor of  H .  pylori  and its urease targeting the sulfhydryl groups, representing a promising candidate as novel urease inhibitor. This investigation also gave additional scientific support to the use of  C .  chinensis  to treat  H .  pylori -related gastrointestinal diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. Pal might be a potentially beneficial therapy for gastritis and peptic ulcers induced by  H .  pylori  infection and other urease-related diseases.
