The minimal inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations (MIC and MBC) of oral Streptococcus were evaluated through microdilution tests. To assay antibiofilm activity, biofilms were generated on 96-wells polystyrene plates under the presence of CD and quantified by a crystal violet technique and colonies forming units counting.
The CD isolated from Croton nepetaefolius showed antimicrobial effect on planktonic forms and biofilms of oral pathogens, with MIC values of 62.5 渭g/mL against Streptococcus oralis and values between 125 and 500 渭g/mL against S. mutans, S. salivarius, S. sobrinus, S. mitis and S. sanguinis. CD showed an inhibitory effect on S. mutans biofilm formation at 250 渭g/mL, and a decrease on viable cell of 94.28%compared to the normal biofilm growth.
The compound CD can be considered as a promising molecule for the treatment against oral pathogens responsible for dental biofilm.
