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 Area catechu L. extracts.
2. Area catechu L. extracts were showed noncytotoxicity on NIH 3T3 fibroblasts.
