Abstract

An ideal anti-bacterial medication for oral infection requires selective effect on pathogens causing dental caries and periodontal disease but not on normal flora. In addition, it should be less toxic for human and even for environment. This study was to seek such a natural anti-bacterial medication and thus anti-bacterial effect of Hamamelis virginiana was evaluated. Many recent researches on the anti-bacterial effect of natural plant extract and essential oil have reported that natural products can be used as medication for prevention and restrainment of dental caries, halitosis and periodontitis. It has been also reported that Hamamelis virginiana has anti-bacterial effect on Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Capnocytophaga gingivalis, Veilonella parvula, Eikenella corrodens, Peprostreptococcus micros, and Actinomyces odontolyticus. This study evaluated anti-bacterial effect of Hamamelis virginiana on Streptoccoccus mutans, Haemophylus actinomycetemcomitans, and Klebsiella pneumoniae to expand its anti-bacterial effect on other important oral pathogens and eventually to develop its oral care products or apply to clinical purpose. In this study, anti-bacterial tests for antibiotic disk susceptibility, minimal inhibitory concentration and minimal bactericidal concentration were performed to evaluate anti-bacterial effect of Hamamelis virginiana against Streptoccoccus mutans, Haemophylus actinomycetemcomitans, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The results showed that Hamamelis virginiana has anti-bacterial effect on all pathogen strains tested in this study and furthermore Hamamelis virginiana possesses bactericidal effect other than bacteriostatic effect on Streptoccoccus mutans, Haemophylus actinomycetemcomitans, Klebsiella pneumoniae. This study indicates that a natural anti-bacterial medication for oral diseases can be developed using Hamamelis virginiana.

이상적인 구강항균제로는 구강환경 내에서 정상 세균총보다는 치아우식증의 원인균주 및 치주염이나 구취 유발세균에 대한 선택적인 항균력이 우수하면서도 인체 및 환경독성이 낮은 물질이 요구된다. 이러한 요구사항을 충족시킬 수 있는 천연항균제 개발을 위해 천연물질인 Hamamelis virginiana의 추출물을 이용한 연구를 하였다. 최근 식물 추출물이나 정유(essential oil)의 항균 효과를 관찰하는 연구가 활발히 이루어지면서 치아우식증이나 구취 및 치주질환을 예방하거나 진행을 억제하는 목적으로 사용할 수 있는 천연 항균제 후보 물질들이 속속 보고 되고 있으며, Hamamelis virginiana가 여기에 속한다. Hamamelis virginiana는 치주질환을 야기하는 세균을 포함하는 여러 세균 종, 즉 Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Capnocytophaga gingivalis, Veilonella parvula, Eikenella corrodens, Peprostreptococcus micros, Actinomyces odontolyticus 등에 대해 항균 효과가 있는 것으로 보고 되었고, 이 실험에서는 구강감염질환에 중요한 Streptoccoccus mutans, Haemophylus actinomycetemcomitans, Klebsiella pneumoniae에 대한 항균 효과를 연구함으로써 이러한 Hamamelis virginiana의 항균 효과를 이용하여 구강위생용품 등 치과영역 임상에 이용할 수 있는지에 대한 연구를 하였다. 본 실험에서는 Hamamelis virginiana의 항균 효과를 보기 위해서 Hamamelis virginiana 알콜 추출액을 처리하여 종이 원판 항생제 감수성 검사, 최소발육저지농도 그리고 최소살균농도를 결정하는 연구를 한 결과, 모든 실험 병원균주에 대해 항균성을 나타내었다. 본 연구 결과로 미루어 볼 때, Hamamelis virginiana의 항균력은 구강 감염질환에 중요한 Streptoccoccus mutans, Haemophylus actinomycetemcomitans, Klebsiella pneumoniae 모두에게 유효하게 작용하며, Hamamelis virginiana의 직접적인 살균작용까지도 확인되었다. 따라서 천연물질인 Hamamelis virginiana를 이용하여 구강질환을 일으키는 병원균에 대한 직접적인 항균작용을 기대할 수 있는 항균제 개발이 가능할 것으로 보인다.
