[0053] Experiment 1: Antibacterial activity test of the Chinese medicine composition of the present invention

[0054] 1. Preparation of Bacterial Suspension

[0055] Glycerol tubes of Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis (-80°C) were taken and activated twice in brain heart infusion broth. After anaerobically incubated at 37°C for 16 h, they were diluted to approximately 1×10 6 ~5×10 6 The bacterial suspension with a CFU / mL was used as the experimental bacterial solution.

[0056] 2. Inhibition Zone Determination

[0057] The Oxford cup method was used to test the antibacterial properties of single Chinese herbal medicines. 200 μL each of the Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis suspensions prepared above were plated onto nutrient agar and Columbia blood agar plates, respectively, and evenly spread using a disposable spreading stick. After drying, an Oxford cup (6 mm diameter) was placed on the plate using tweezers. 200 μL each of the single Chinese herbal extracts prepared in Comparative Examples 1-3 (Paeonia suffruticosa, Licorice, and Clove) was pipetted into the cup. The cups were labeled and incubated anaerobically at 37°C for 24 hours. The results were observed and the inhibition zones were measured. The test was repeated three times. The criteria for determining the inhibition zone were: an average inhibition zone diameter >20 mm, indicating extreme sensitivity; an average inhibition zone diameter of 15-20 mm, indicating high sensitivity; an average inhibition zone diameter of 10-15 mm, indicating moderate sensitivity; an average inhibition zone diameter <10 mm, indicating low sensitivity; and no inhibition zone, indicating insensitivity. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0058] Table 1

[0059]

[0060] 3. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration Determination

[0061] The experimental group received a TCM aqueous extract at a concentration of 3.91-500 mg / mL, while the negative control group received sterile water instead of the drug. A blank control group was also established without the addition of the drug. Both experimental and control groups were incubated in an anaerobic incubator at 37°C for 18 hours, followed by determination of OD600 values using a microplate reader. The minimum TCM concentration at which the OD600 value of the experimental group was not significantly different from that of the blank control group and the negative control group was defined as the MIC. The experiment was repeated three times in parallel. The results showed that Paeonia suffruticosa, Clove, and Licorice had significant antibacterial effects against two oral pathogens (see Table 2).

[0062] Table 2

[0063]

[0064] 4. Determination of the antibacterial activity of three Chinese herbal medicine combinations using the chessboard method

[0065] Based on the Oxford cup experiment and the MIC experiment, the checkerboard method was used to detect the inhibitory effects of the pairwise combinations of the above-mentioned Cortex Moutan, Flos Caryophylli, and Radix Glycyrrhizae on two pathogenic bacteria. The specific method was to add the diluted aqueous extracts of traditional Chinese medicine horizontally and vertically respectively, so that the total concentration in each well was 2, 1, 1 / 2, 1 / 4, 1 / 8 MIC. Two-dimensional checkerboard method: It is known that FIC = MIC A Combined use / MIC A Single use + MIC B Combined use / MIC B Single use of the drug. When FIC < 0.5, it is a synergistic effect; when 0.5 < FIC < 1.0, it is an additive effect; when 1.0 < FIC < 2.0, it is an irrelevant effect; when FIC > 2.0, it is an antagonistic effect. The antibacterial results of the combination of Cortex Moutan and Flos Caryophylli, and the combination of Cortex Moutan and Radix Glycyrrhizae against Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis are shown in Tables 3, 4, 7, and 8. In addition, the antibacterial results of the combination of Radix Glycyrrhizae and Flos Caryophylli against Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis are shown in Tables 5 and 6.

[0066] The two-dimensional checkerboard method was upgraded to a three-dimensional checkerboard method to detect the inhibitory effects of the combination of three herbs, Cortex Moutan, Flos Caryophylli, and Radix Glycyrrhizae, on two pathogenic bacteria. The specific method was to adjust the concentration according to the MIC value of each extract. The first two extracts were added horizontally and vertically to a 96-well plate, and the concentrations were adjusted to 1 / 2 MIC, 1 / 4 MIC, 1 / 8 MIC, and 1 / 16 MIC. Finally, the third drug was added and the concentration was adjusted to 1 / 2 MIC, 1 / 4 MIC, 1 / 8 MIC, and 1 / 16 MIC. So that each drug accounted for 1 / 4, 1 / 8, 1 / 16, and 1 / 32 MIC of the concentration in each well. According to the checkerboard method experiment, experimental groups, blank controls, and negative controls were set up. After anaerobic culture at 37 °C for 18 h, OD600 was measured and the combined MIC value was calculated. The results showed that the MIC against Streptococcus mutans was 3.91 mg / mL, and the MIC against Porphyromonas gingivalis was 15.63 mg / mL. The specific antibacterial results are shown in Tables 9 - 16.

[0067] It is known that for the combined antibacterial index FIC, the three-drug combination gives FIC = MIC A Combined use / MIC A Single use + MIC B Combined use / MIC B Single use of the drug + MIC C Combined use / MIC C Single use of the drug. When FIC < 0.5, it is a synergistic effect; when 0.5 < FIC < 1.0, it is an additive effect; when 1.0 < FIC < 2.0, it is an irrelevant effect; when FIC > 2.0, it is an antagonistic effect.

[0110] Tables 3-8 show that the most effective combination with peony bark is licorice and clove; the most effective combination with clove is peony bark; and the most effective combination with licorice is peony bark and clove. The combination of peony bark and clove has the best antibacterial effect, with an FIC of 0.38, exhibiting a synergistic effect against Streptococcus mutans. The combination of peony bark and licorice has the best antibacterial effect, with an FIC of 0.38, exhibiting a synergistic effect against Porphyromonas gingivalis. However, the combination of any two Chinese herbal extracts did not exhibit synergistic effects against both bacteria.

[0111] Considering the antibacterial effects of a combination of aqueous extracts of three traditional Chinese medicines, experimental data were processed: the absorbance of the experimental group minus the absorbance of the blank group equals the OD600 of each drug concentration against Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis. The results were then compared with the negative control group. No significant differences were considered to indicate a lack of bacterial growth. The results showed that the combination of peony bark, clove, and licorice had a synergistic antibacterial effect against both bacteria. The optimal mass ratio of the three herbs was peony bark: clove: licorice = 4:1:4 or 2:8:1, resulting in an FICI of 0.34, as shown in Tables 9-16.

[0112] 5. Verification of the antibacterial growth curve of the aqueous extract of the Chinese herbal medicine combination formula against two bacteria

[0113] According to the ratio and preparation method of Examples 1-5, the aqueous extract (1.0 mg / mL) of the antibacterial compatibility formula of Examples 1-5, which has a synergistic effect on two pathogenic bacteria, was prepared. Take a sterile honeycomb microplate and use a micropipette to add 300 μL of the aqueous extract of the combined formula diluted with brain heart infusion broth to a concentration of 500 mg / mL in well 11. Add 150 μL of brain heart infusion broth to wells 12 to 18 and perform micro-two-fold dilution with a pipette. Discard the last well and add 150 μL of bacterial solution to each well. The same method is used for wells 21-28 and 31-38. Wells 01-03 are negative controls and 150 μL of mutans Streptococcus bacterial solution and 150 μL of sterile water are added. Take another sterile honeycomb microplate as above and change the bacterial solution to Porphyromonas gingivalis. The rest of the samples remain unchanged. Because Porphyromonas gingivalis is anaerobic, 50 μL of liquid paraffin is added to each well after all the drug solution and bacterial culture medium are added and anaerobically sealed. The two well plates were placed in a fully automatic growth curve instrument and cultured for 24 h. The OD600 was measured every hour. The experiment was repeated three times.

[0114] The results showed that the Chinese medicine composition prepared by the mixed extraction of the above Chinese medicines also showed significant synergistic antibacterial effect. The antibacterial growth curve results of Example 4 are shown in Figure 1-Figure 2 .

[0115] Clove, peony bark, and licorice have inhibitory effects on oral pathogens. The MICs of clove, peony bark, and licorice against Streptococcus mutans were 3.91 mg / mL, and against Porphyromonas gingivalis were 15.63 mg / mL. Combinations of peony bark and clove, and peony bark and licorice, showed additive effects against S. mutans and P. gingivalis, respectively. A combination of these three Chinese herbal extracts achieved synergistic inhibition against both bacteria, effectively suppressing oral pathogens. At present, there has been no research on the antibacterial Chinese herbal compound for inhibiting Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis and its effects. The present invention explores the antibacterial effects of Chinese herbal water extracts such as peony bark, cloves and licorice, as well as the compound, on Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis. It is expected that peony bark, cloves and licorice can be put into actual production applications, providing a theoretical basis for the clinical application of Chinese herbal medicines such as peony bark, cloves and licorice, and conducting basic research for the research and development of Chinese herbal oral health products with antibacterial effects.

[0116] 6. Antibacterial results of different ratios of peony bark, clove and liquorice compositions
