Abstract

Phytoncide, essential oil of trees, has microbicidal, insecticidal, acaricidal, and deodorizing effect. The present study was performed to examine the effect of phytoncide on Candida albicans, which is a commensal colonizer of the mucous membranes but has become an opportunistic pathogen. C. albicans was incubated with or without phytoncide extracted from Hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtusa Sieb. et Zucc.; Japanese cypress) and then changes were observed in its optical density, cell viability and morphology. As concentrations of phytoncide added to the culture medium increased, optical density and cell viability of C. albicans decreased. Minimum inhibitory concentration of phytoncide for C. albicans was observed to be 0.25%, and minimum fungicidal concentration was 0.5%. Numbers of morphologically atypical cells with electron-dense cytoplasm and granules and increased with increasing concentration of the phytoncide. At higher concentrations of phytoncide, compartments and organelles in the cytoplasm became indistinguishable. The overall results indicate that the phytoncide used for this study has a strong antimicrobial activity against C. albicans. Therefore, the phytoncide may be used as a candidate for prevention and therapeutic agent against oral candidiasis.

나무가 갖는 특유의 향인 피톤치드는 휘발성 화학물질로서, 식물이 방어를 위해 스스로 생성하여 발산하는 물질이며, 항균, 방충, 소취 등 다양한 기능을 가지고 있는 천연 물질이다. 편백나무(Chamaecyparis obtusa Sieb. et Zucc.; Japanese cypress)에서 추출한 피톤치드 정유가 구강 내 상주균주이면서 구강 캔디다증을 일으키는 Candida albicans에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위해 편백 피톤치드와 함께 C. albicans 를 배양한 후, 성장정도, 생존력 및 형태적 변화를 관찰한 결과, 피톤치드는 C. albicans에 강한 항진균력을 보였고, C. albicans에 대한 피톤치드의 최소억제농도(MIC)는 0.25%, 최소살균농도(MFC)는 0.5%였으며, 성장 곡선 상에서, MIC에 근접한 농도의 피톤치드는 C. albicans의 성장을 억제하였다. 피톤치드를 첨가하여 배양한 C. albicans는 투과전자현미경 상에서, MIC 농도에서 대다수의 세포가 세포질 내 전자밀도가 높은 과립물질과 공포를 보이는 비전형적인 형태를 보였다. 이상의 결과로, 피톤치드는 C. albicans에 대해 살균작용에 의한 항진균효과를 갖고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 피톤치드의 항진균력은 구강 내 상주균주이면서 특별한 경우에 구강 캔디다증을 일으키는 C. albicans에 유효하게 작용하며, 이를 이용한 구강 위생용품의 적용으로 구강 캔디다증의 예방과 치료 및 예후관리에도 매우 유용하게 사용되리라고 생각된다.
