Inhibitory Effects of Green Tea Polyphenols on Growth and Cellular Adherence of an Oral Bacterium,Porphyromonas gingivalis
Open accessAbstract
Effects of polyphenolic compounds isolated from green tea (Camellia sinensis) on the growth and adherence of Porphyromonas gingivalis onto human buccal epithelial cells were investigated. Green tea polyphenols, especially (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) which is a dominant component of tea polyphenols, completely inhibited the growth and adherence of P. gingivalis onto the buccal epithelial cells at concentrations of 250-500 micrograms/ml. Among the polyphenolic compounds, (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECg) and (-)-gallocatechin gallate (GCg) were effective next to EGCg in these activities. On the other hand, (+)-catechin (C(+)), (-)-epicatechin (EC), (+)-gallocatechin (GC), and (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC) had very much less activity. These results indicate that the inhibitory effect on the adherence of P. gingivalis onto the buccal epithelial cells is attributed to the presence of the galloyl moiety, which is ester-linked with the 3-OH of the catechin moiety in the polyphenolic compounds.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
