The purpose of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of the ethanol extract of Garcinia mangostana L. (mangosteen) against Cutibacterium acnes (6 strains) and Staphylococcus aureus (6 strains). The antimicrobial activity of the mangosteen extract was evaluated based on its minimal bactericidal concentration. Cytotoxicity of the mangosteen extract against human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK 293) cells was determined using the cell counting method. The data showed that the mangosteen extract was not toxic to HEK 293 cells at a concentration of up to $16{\mu}g/mL$ and killed 87.0% and 99.9% of C. acnes and S. aureus after 10 minutes and 1 hour of treatment, respectively. These results suggest that ethanol extract of mangosteen can be used as an anti-acne agent.

Essential oil은 식물로부터 추출한 휘발성의 호지방성 화합물로서 essential oil은 잠재적으로 항균, 항진균, 진경련, 항말라리아성, 곤충퇴치능력 등의 생물학적 효과를 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 방향식물에서 추출한 Citral, Pineole, Linalool, Eugenol, Limonene, Pinene 등으로 구성된 다섯종류의 essential oil을 사용하였으며, 여덟 군의 중요한 병원성 세균인 Streptococcus mutans(S. mutans), Staphylococcus aureus(S. aureus), Streptococcus sanguis(S. sanguis), Streptococcus anginosus(S. anginosus), Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans(A. actinomycetem- comitans), Streptococcus sobrinus(S. sobrinus), Staphylococcus epidermidis(S. epidermidis), Esherichia coli (E. coli)에 대한 저항성으로서 항균능력을 평가하였다. Essential oil의 항균능력은 용액희석방법을 사용하여 검사하였으며, essential oil 농도범위는 10 mg/mL, 5 mg/mL, 2.5 mg/mL, 1.25 mg/mL, 0.625 mg/mL, 0.516 mg/mL, 0.3125 mg/mL, 0.078 mg/mL, 0.039 mg/mL, 그리고 0.015 mg/mL였다. Essential oil은 용량 의존적으로 시험 균주의 성장을 효과적으로 억제하였으며, NM을 제외하고 R, LG, FR, O oil은 저농도에서 구강 병원성 미생물의 성장을 억제하였다. 또한 사용된 essential oil은 E.coli와 S. epidermidis의 성장에는 탁월한 억제효과를 보이지는 못했으나 구강 병원성 미생물에 대해서는 특별한 성장 억제효과를 나타냈다.

The methanolic extract of Commelina communis (aerial part) showed antibacterial activity against a cariogenic bacterium, Streptococcus mutans OMZ 176. The active principles were identified to be $\beta$-carboline alkaloids, 1-carbomethoxy-$\beta$-carboline, norharman and harman, which were bactericidal in the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of $100\;\mu{g/ml}$ against the strain.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial effects of Australia propolis against cariogenic and periodontopathic bacteria. Antimicrobial activity was determined by evaluating the minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC). Cell cytotoxicity of propolis extract on normal human gingival fibroblast (HGF-1) cells was observed using the methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assay. The data indicated that, with the exception of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (KCOM 1306), the MBC values of the propolis strains were 0.25-1% without HGF-1 cell cytotoxicity. These results suggest that propolis can be used to develop oral hygiene products for the prevention of oral infectious disease.

In this study, we carried out to isolate lactoferrin from Korean native cattle and Holstein cow by batch extraction, ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration, and affinity chromatography. The purity of the isolated lactoferrin was higher than that of lactoferrin purchased from Sigma, when determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analysis. Antibacterial activity of E. coli O111 by Korean native cattle lactoferrin was lower than that of Holstein lactoferrin. A minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) of Korean native cattle lactoferrin and Holstein lactoferrin was 2.75 mg/ ml and 1.5 mg/ml respectively. The lactoferrin hydrolyzate of Korean native cattle exhibited antimicrobial activity at 0.25 mg/ml, whereas that of Holstein cow exhibited antimicrobial activity at 0.12 mg/ml. The antibacterial potency of the hydrolyzate was at least tenfold greater than that of undigeated lactoferrin with strains tested. The effect of hydrolyzate was bactericidal as indicated by rapid loss of viability of E. coli O111.

In general, oleanolic acid (OA) and ursolic acid (UA) have antimicrobial effect against Gram-positive bacteria but not Gram-negative bacteria whereas sophoraflavanone G has antimicrobial activity against both bacterial types. However, the antimicrobial effects of OA, UA, and sophoraflavanone G against periodontopathogens have not been studied to any great extent. The aim of this study was to investigate antimicrobial effect of OA, UA, and sophoraflavanone G against 15 strains (5 species) of oral Gram-negative bacteria, which are the major causative bacteria of periodontal disease. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) determinations. OA and UA showed antimicrobial effects against all of the Porphyromonas gingivalis strains tested and also Prevotella intermedia ATCC $25611^T$. Interestingly, P. intermedia ATCC 49046 showed greater resistance to OA and UA than P. intermedia ATCC $25611^T$. In contrast, sophoraflavanone G had antimicrobial activity against all strains, with MIC and MBC values below $32{\mu}g/ml$, except Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. These results indicate that sophoraflavanone G may have potential for use in future oral hygiene products such as dentifrices and gargling solution to prevent periodontitis.

Objectives : The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of bamboo charcoal on Streptococcus mutans which is one of the most important causative agents of dental caries. Methods : S. mutans was incubated with or without bamboo charcoal and then changes were observed in its cell viability and antibacterial effect. Oral epithelial cells viabillity(human gingival fibroblast, HGF) was performed using MTT assay. Antibacterial effect was analyzed using a dilution plating method and agar diffusion method. Results : Oral epithelial cells, human gingival fibroblast (HGF) showed a tendency to increase in bamboo charcoal treatment solution concentrations(0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10%). The bamboo charcoal had an antibacterial effect on S. mutans. Antibacterial effect of bamboo charcoal for the bacterium was 58%. Charcoal concentration of 2% and 5% in the inhibition zone showed a minimal growth, but the concentration of 10% bamboo charcoal in inhibition zone revealed a conspicuous antibacterial activity. Conclusions : Overall results suggested that the bamboo charcoal proved to be bactericidal effect on S. mutans.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of the methanol extract of Coptidis rhizome against the type strains of cariogenic bacteria, Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus, and the periodontopathogens, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Treponema denticola and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. The antimicrobial activities of the crude extract and the methanol extract fractions of Coptidis rhizome separated by silica gel chromatography were evaluated by determining the minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) values, using the microdilution method. The cell viability test of the extracts of Coptidis rhizome on the KB cells was also studied by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. Our results showed that the 11th fraction (F11) of the methanol extract had the greatest antimicrobial activity against the tested bacteria, with no associated cytotoxicity on the KB cells, upto a concentration of $50{\mu}g/ml$. These results suggest that the silica gel chromatography fraction F11 of the methanol extract of Coptidis rhizome, could be useful in the development of oral hygiene products as an antimicrobial agent for the prevention of dental caries and periodontal diseases.

본 실험에서는 인간 전과립 세포를 회분배양 조건 에서 10%의 혈청을 포함하는 배지로 배양하였다. 이 와같은 조건에서 세포의 비성장율은 0.374C1/day) 이고 세포내 존재하는 살균활성을 가진 목적 단백질 의 생산성은 0.435(mg/10' viable cells)으로 나타났 다. 세포내 존재하는 목척 단백질의 순수 분리를 위 해 sephadex G-75, sephadex G-100, Bio→Rex70 을 이용해 분리하였다. 정제된 목적 단백질은 감수성 균주, E. coli IFO 13168과 St. aureus IFO 3060 을 표준 균주로 살균 측정을 하였을 때, 기존의 항생 물질은 균주에 대해 40~701땅1m!에서 활성을 나타 낸 반면, 정제된 목적 단백질은 G(+)균(St. aureus IFO 3060)에서는 $0.5\mu\textrm{g}$/ml이고, G(-)균(E. coli IFO 13168)에서는 $0.4\mu\textrm{g}$/ml에서 살균 활성을 보였다. 따라서 AMF가 기존 항생물질보다 살균 활성이 강력한 단백질임을 알 수 있다. 해당 분자량을 측정 하기 위해 SDS-PAGE로 측정한 결과 약 15,000 Dalton의 분자량을 갖고 있음이 확인됐다.
