Abstract
This study investigated the potential of dye plants as natural oral health products. The antibacterial activity of ethanol stem extracts of A. japonica, R. verniciflua Stokes, G. jasminoides, D. morbifera, P. amurense Rupr., and S. japonica against P. gingivalis KCTC 5352, S. mutans KCTC3065, S. downei KCTC3634, S. sanguinis KCTC3284, and S. gordonii KCTC 3286 was confirmed. Among the stem extracts from 6 dye plants grown in Korea, ethanol extract from A. japonica stem (1 mg/disc) showed the highest antibacterial activity against P. gingivalis KCTC5352. The A. japonica stem extracts showed antibacterial activity similar to chlorhexidine, which was used as a positive control. The MIC and MBC of P. gingivalis KCTC5352 were 0.4 mg/ml and 0.6 mg/ml, respectively. The biofilm production rate and cell growth of P. gingivalis KCTC5352 in the cultures treated with 0.2-2.0 mg/ml of A. japonica extract were significantly decreased in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, the mRNA expression of the superoxide dismutase and fimA associated with fimbriae formation in these cultures was suppressed, also in a concentration-dependent manner. Based on these results, it is concluded that A. japonica stem extracts can be used as an oral health product derived from natural materials, as demonstrated by its antibacterial action against and inhibition of biofilm formation of P. gingivalis KCTC5352.
