Abstract
In order to develop natural anticariogenic agents, we investigated inhibitory effects of Areca catechu L. extracts on the acid production of Streptococcus mutans JC-2 and its cytotoxicity on NIH 3T3 fibroblasts were also examined. The results are as follows : 1. Major organic acid produced by Streptococcus mutans JC-2 were lactic acid and acetic acid, and their productions were decreased by additions of Areca catechu L. extracts. 2. Areca catechu L. extracts were showed noncytotoxicity on NIH 3T3 fibroblasts.
