Tempting to further understanding the biophysical mechanism of action of chlorhexidine, we examined effects of the antimicrobial agent(chlorhexidine digluconate) on rate of rotational mobility of liposomes of total lipids extracted from anaerobic bacterial outer membranes (Porphyromonas gingivalis outer membranes).

To get a better insight into the biophysical mechanism of action of chlorhexidine digluconate, we examined the effect of chlorhexidine digluconate on the thickness of outer membranes isolated from cultured Porphyromonas gingivalis using energy transfer between the membrane surface fluorescent probe (l-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonic acid) and the hydrophobic fluorescent probe [1,3-di(l-pyrenyl)propane]. 1-Anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonic acid quenches the monomer fluorescence of 1,3-di(1-pyrenyl)propane.

Background: The FimA of Porphyromonas gingivalis is a crucial pathogenic component of the bacteria and has been implicated as a target for vaccine development against the periodontal diseases. Methods: In this study, the purified fimbriae (FimA subunit polymers) protein was used for immunization in their native form and B hybridoma clones producing antibodies specific to FimA were established. Results: The monoclonal antibodies prepared from selected two clones, designated #123 (IgG2b/ kappa) and #265 (IgG1/kappa), displayed different patterns of binding activity against the cognate antigen. Both antibodies reacted with conformational epitopes expressed by partially dissociated oligomers, but not with monomer as elucidated by Western blot analysis. Ascites fluid containing the monoclonal antibodies showed the inhibitory activity against P. gingivalis to saliva-coated hydroxyapatite beads, an in vitro model for the pellicle-coated tooth surface. Conclusion: These results suggest that the monoclonal antibodies could be used as vaccine material against the periodontal diseases through passive immunization.

A methanol extract of Physalis angulata exhibited in vitro antibarterial activity against oral pathogens such including Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis. The methanol extract of Physalis angulata was further fractionated with ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water, in which the ethyl acetate fraction exclusively showed antibacterial activity. An active antibacterial compound from the ethyl acetate fraction was purified to a single compound using silica gel column chromatography and identified as oleanolic acid by $^{13}$ C-NMR, $^1$H-NMR and EI-MS. MIC of oleanolic acid against S. mutants and p. gingivalis were determined to be 50 and 25 ug/mL, respectively. The Antibacterial activity of oleanolic acid from Physalis angulata suggested that it has potential as an anticarcinogenic and antiperiodontic ingredients in various foods and oral care products.

Objective: In this study, we tried to investigate the antimicrobial activity of natural herbaceous plant-derived essential oils against oral disease-causing bacterial strains and establish the scientific evidences to apply them to the dentifrice, mouthwash, and other uses. Methods: We used the disk diffusion method with 23 types of 100% natural essential oils to verify the antimicrobial effect against Streptococcus mutans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus. After adhering to the surface of the plate culture medium, $20{\mu}l$ of the essential oil was prepared, and the diameter of the transparent ring was measured after incubation for 24 hours. All the experiments were repeated three times. Results: Among 23 types of oils, 13 were effective against all three strains: myrrh, ginger, basil, carrot seed, tea tree, patchouli, ylang ylang, cypress, lemongrass, cinnamon, peppermint, lavender, and eucalryptus. Seventeen oils were effective against S. mutans, and myrrh, basil, and carrot seed showed high antimicrobial activity. Eighteen oils were effective against P. gingivalis, and tea tree, carrot seed, and cinnamons showed high antimicrobial activity. Sixteen oils were effective against L. rhamnosus, and carrot seed and peppermint cinnamon showed high antimicrobial activity. Conclusion: Consequently, 13 essential oils showed the antimicrobial activity against three bacterial strains, which indicates these essential oils might be used as the effective materials to suppress the growth of oral-disease inducing microorganisms. Moreover, essential oils that have been analyzed activities in this study will be mixed up within the constant range and analyzed their antimicrobial effects to examine the synergistic activity among them.
