Abstract
PURPOSE: To study the inhibitory effect of grape seed proanthocyanidin extracts on 1ipopolysacharides of Porphyromonas gingivalis. METHODS: Grape seed proanthocyanidin extracts were double-diluted to different concentrations by two-fold dilution. The effect on Porphyromonas gingivalis was measured by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). The inhibition effect of grape seed proanthocyanidin extracts on lipopolysaccharide was measured by limulus assay with 6 concentrations below the minimal inhibitory concentration. SPSS 17.0 software package was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: The value of MIC of grape seed proanthocyanidin extracts was 0.8 mg/mL to the strains of the experimental bacteria. The inhibitory effect on lipopolysaccharide enhanced with the increasing of the concentration of grape seed proanthocyanidin extracts within the scope of 0.05 to 0.4 mg/mL (P<0.05,0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Grape seed proanthocyanidin extracts have inhibitory effect on lipopolysaccharide of Porphyromonas gingivalis.
