Abstract

Antimicrobial activity of extract from some traditional oriental medicinal plants were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against six oral pathogens, Streptococcus salivarius, Streptococcus oralis, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguinis, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus casei, which are associated with caries disease. The antimicrobial activity was examined by determining the inhibition zone using the disc diffusion assay. In antibacterial activity test, extracts of Scutellaria baicalensis, Chrysanthemum indicum, Kochia scoparia, Hydnocarpus anthelmintica and Caesalpinia sappan showed inhibitory effects (40 mg/ml) against tested caries bacteria. Especially, the C. sappan extract showed the strongest activity on S. oralis (40 mm), L. casei (35 mm) and S. mutans (28 mm). Thus, this result suggests that C. sappan may be applicable to preventing dental caries.

본 연구에서는, 구강 내 세균에 대한 항세균제로서의 이용가치를 확인하고, 치아우식 예방 및 치료제로 활용될 수 있는 가능성이 있는 물질을 탐색하고자 64종의 한약재 추출물을 사용하여 치아우식증의 원인이 되는 6개 균주를 대상으로 항균활성을 검색하였다. 1. 구강 내 상주균인 S. oralis, 치아우식증에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 S. mutans, 치면열구우식증에 연관성이 높은 L. casei와 초기 평활면우식증에 영향을 주는 S. sanguinis에 모두 항균활성을 보인 한약재 추출물은 64종 가운데 황금과 소목이었다. 2. 치아우식증 원인균 중 하나인 S. oralis에 대하여 한약재 추출물의 항균 활성을 알아본 결과 64종 가운데 22개의 한약재가 항균 활성을 보였다. 항균활성이 가장 우수한 한약재 는 소목(40 mm)>감국(27 mm)>황금(19 mm)>지부자(17 mm), 대풍자(17 mm) 순이었다. 그 외에 괴화(14 mm), 오가피(9 mm), 목단피(14 mm), 단삼(10 mm), 비자(10 mm), 고삼(10 mm), 시호(11 mm), 인동(10 mm), 음양곽 A (13 mm), 음양곽 B (11 mm), 대황(13 mm)이 항균 활성을 보였다. 3. 소와열구 및 상아질 우식에 관여하는 L. acidophilus는 64종 한약재 추출물 가운데 소목만이 항균성을 보였다. 치아우식증 원인세균인 S. salivarius는 천마(9 mm), 소목(20 mm)의 생육 저해환의 직경을 측정 할 수 있었다. 4. 결론적으로, 치아우식증의 원인이 되는 6종 균주에 대해 가장 우수한 활성을 보인 한약재는 소목으로 최대 40 mm의 생육 저해환이 측정되었다. 이상의 결과를 볼 때, 한약재 추출물은 구강 내 우식유발균주의 생육을 억제하는 효과가 있어, 향후 구강 내 우식원성 세균의 치료물질로 활용을 제시한다.
