Abstract
This study was carried out to evaluate the inhibition of growth and collagenase activity of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge against microorganisms causing periodontal diseases. The ethanol extract of Salvia miltiorrhiza showed sig-nificant growth inhibition against microorganisms causing periodontal diseases. Ethanol extract was further fractionated with organic solvents in the order of hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate. Among the fractions tested, the hexane fraction showed the highest cell growth inhibition. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the extract against C. curvus, C. rectus, E. corrodens, F nucleatum, P. gingivalis, P. intermedia and W. succinogenes were 200, 50, 50, 250, 150, 250 and 200 ${\mu}g$/ml, respectively. The inhibition of collagenase activity by organic solvent fractions were higher than that of minocycline, and the inhibition ratio of collagenase activity was $88.2{\pm}2.1$ % in the chloroform fraction.
단삼(Salvia miltiorrhiza) 추출물의 치주질환유발 세균에 대한 생육저지 활성 및 collagenase저해 활성을 측정하였다. 단삼 에탄올 추출물은 치주질환유발 세균에 대해 우수한 생육저지 활성을 나타내었다. 유기용매 분획물중, hexane에서 생육억제능이 가장 우수하였다. 치주질환유발 세균 C. curvus, C. rectus, E. corrodens, F. nucleatum, P. gingivalis, P. intermedia 및 W. succinogenes에 대한 단삼 추출물의 최소생육저해농도(MIC)는 200,50,50,250,150,250및 200 ${\mu}g$/ml로 각각 우수한 생육억제능을 나타내었다. 단삼 유기용매 분획물의 collagenase저해 활성은 동일 농도의 minocycline에 비해 우수한 저해 활성을 나타내었으며, chloroform분획물의 경우 88.2%의 저해 활성을 나타내었다.
