Abstract

Fourteen phenolic compounds(benzoic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid, vanillic acid, syringic acid, gallic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, (+)-catechin, quercetin, rutin, catechol, chlorogenic acid and L-ascorbic acid) were examined for their effects on the anticarigenic activity. Among tested samples, catechol was significantly inhibited the S. mutans, exhibiting an clear zone 18.5-19.5mm by 10 mg/disc level. The minimal inhibition concentration(MIC) of the phenolic compounds for Streptococcus mutans, M1 and M2 strain were determined as 2,000 ppm, whereas catechol was 1,000 ppm. The activity of glucosyltransferase(GTase) was significantly inhibited by catechol, at 10 ppm(58.7%), 50 ppm(60.7%) and 100 ppm(88.4%) and 500 ppm(89.6%), respectively. Among them, catechol showed most significant anticariogenic activity as well as inhibition of GTase activity.
