Description

SYNERGIC ANTIBACTERIAL COMBINATION OF SCUTELLARIA
LATERIFLORA EXTRACT AND CISTUS x INCANUS EXTRACT
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is a synergic combination of Scutellaria lateriflora L. extract titrated in baicalin and Cistus x incanus L. extract with a high polyphenol content, for the health of the oral cavity. PRIOR ART
The human body coexists with various micro-organisms which live in all its organs and on all its surfaces in constant symbiosis. Since 2007 the scientific community has investigated the relationships between bacterial flora, human physiology and the onset and chronicisation of diseases, demonstrating that bacteria actively influence human physiology at a systemic level, and modulate the overall health of human beings.
The bacterial flora of the oral cavity is an essential part of the human microbiome, and is represented by over six billion bacteria belonging to 700 different species. It is highly dynamic due to numerous factors, such as genetics, oral hygiene and lifestyle, including smoking and diet. Diet plays a key role because micro-organisms feed on food debris remaining in the oral cavity after meals; depending on the predominant macronutrients (carbohydrates or proteins), different species of micro-organisms can colonize the oral cavity more easily because they use preferential metabolic and fermentation pathways; fluctuations in pH affect the growth of specific bacterial species to the disadvantage of others, inducing eubiosis/dysbiosis. It is therefore clear that diet, partly as it affects the health of the oral cavity, plays an important role in health at a systemic level, as demonstrated for the first time in 1980. Periodontal disease (infections of the supporting structures around the tooth, such as gums and bone) is known to be associated with cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases, asthma, pneumonia, premature births and pre-eclampsia, epilepsy, and osteoporosis. The connection between periodontal disease and secondary systemic disorders may be due to the diffusion of the infection from the oral cavity to other organs via the blood circulation of microbial toxins, and a systemic inflammatory state generated by buccal inflammation.
In detail, periodontitis is a multifactorial polymicrobial infection characterized by a destructive inflammatory process. Porphyromonas gingivalis, a Gram-negative black- pigmented anaerobe bacterium, is a major pathogen involved in the initiation and progression of periodontitis; it is able to produce a plethora of virulence factors that stimulate human gingival epithelium (HIGh) cells and human periodontal ligament (HPL) cells to produce various inflammatory mediators.
To reduce oral cavity infections, widespread use has been made of chi orhexi dine, a broad-spectrum disinfectant active against Gram-positive bacteria, some species of Pseudomonas and Proteus , and some fungi and viruses. Chlorhexidine is used in mouthwashes and, though effective in reducing inflammation of bacterial origin, may induce resistance and also has an indiscriminate bactericidal action, acting not only against pathogens, but also against eubiotic bacteria, causing dysbiosis.
To reduce the side effects of chlorhexidine, the use of mouthwashes based on plant extracts has been proposed in recent years as a good alternative to the use of said antiseptic.
Medicinal plants are traditionally used as antibacterials because they contain bioactive substances such as polyphenols and essential oils.
Data relating to the use of plants and extracts to obtain a positive, synergic action against oral cavity flora are present in the literature: bilberry helps control and reduce the risk of oral cavity inflammations (Widen et ah, Acta Odontol Scand. 2015;73(7):539-43); magnolia, cinnamon and aloe vera extracts help prevent plaque and the onset of gingivitis (clinically tested, Hellstrom et ah, Int J Dent Hyg. 2014 May; 12(2): 96- 102; Gupta et ah, J Int Acad Periodontol. 2015 Jul;17(3):91-8; Yeturu et ah, J Oral Biol Craniofac Res. 2016 Jan-Apr;6(l):54-8); and a product containing multiple extracts (ginger, rosemary and calendula) has proved effective against gingivitis (Mahyari et ah, Complement Ther Clin Pract. 2016 Feb;22:93-8). Scutellaria lateriflora L. is a typical nerve-soothing plant, which is widely used, especially in North America, as a hypnotic and sedative; the rationale for said use is that the flavonoids characteristic of said plant, baicalein and wogonin, exert tranquilizing effects by means of allosteric modulation of the GABA (g-aminobutyric acid) receptor on the benzodiazepine site (Hui et al., Biochem Pharmacol. 2002 Nov 1;64(9): 1415-24; Wang et al., Neuropharmacology. 2008 Dec;55(7):1231-7). Moreover, many ingredients and extracts of the genus Scutellaria have exhibited antibacterial activity in vitro (Shen et al., J Ethnopharmacol. 2021 Jan 30;265: 113198), but only limited tests have been conducted on Scutellaria lateriflora L. extracts, and only with some pathogens (Bergeron et al., International Journal of Pharmacognosy, 34:4, 233-242). More recently, baicalin has exhibited synergism against S. aureus when combined with the beta-lactam antibiotic benzylpenicillin (Liu et al., J Pharm Pharmacol. 2000 Mar;52(3):361-6). In a very recent study, its aglycone baicalein exhibited significant inhibitory properties against biofilm formation by Streptococcus mutans (Vijayakumar et al., Antibiotics 2021, 10, 215), one of the main cariogenic species, which is considered to be the pioneer bacterium in the colonization of the tooth surface.
Infusions obtained from various species of Cistus have traditionally been used to soothe disorders of the digestive and respiratory tracts, and for some skin problems. The antioxidant properties of said plant are also known (Gori et al., Int J Mol Sci. 2016 Aug 17; 17(8): 1344). The efficacy of the plant against Gram-positive bacteria has also been known for some time (Kuchta et al., Cardiol J. 2019 Mar 26). Another in vitro study demonstrated the antibacterial and antiadhesion activity of a Cistus x incanus L. extract against Streptococcus mutans (Wittpahl et al., Planta Med. 2015 Dec;81(18): 1727-35).
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
It has now been found that a combination of Scutellaria lateriflora L. and Cistus x incanus L. extracts exhibits synergic antimicrobial activity against Porphyromonas gingi al is, a bacterium that causes periodontitis.
Said combination can be advantageously used as an ingredient of foods in current or functional use (candies, chewing gums, fruit juices and beverages) and for food supplements and medical devices which, in view of their everyday consumption/use, direct the composition of the oral microbiota towards eubiosis, reducing pathogenic bacteria and thus performing a protective action against diseases of the oral cavity and the systemic diseases connected with them.
Therefore, the first aspect of the invention relates to a synergic antibacterial combination consisting of a Scutellaria lateriflora L. extract and a Cistus x incanus L. extract.
The tested combination, in the form of a solution or suspension, is characterized by weight/volume concentration ratios of the Scutellaria lateriflora L. extract and the Cistus x incanus L. extract ranging between 3 : 1 and 1:1, respectively.
The Scutellaria lateriflora L. and Cistus x incanus L. extracts are preferably water-alcohol extracts.
Said extracts are known or obtainable by known methods. See, for example DE 202005 014459, US 8,691,294, EP 1 446 135 and US 7,771,758.
The Scutellaria lateriflora L. extract preferably has a baicalin content of not less than 10% by weight, while the Cistus x incanus L. extract preferably has a polyphenol content ranging between 18 and 25% by weight.
The Scutellaria lateriflora L. extract with minimum baicalin content of 10%, used in the synergic combination, can be prepared, after identification by DNA barcoding test (to rule out contamination with other morphologically similar species of the same genus, and above all with the dangerous Teucrium chamaedrys ), by a process including the following steps: the pre-dried aerial parts are chopped, preferably to a length of 1-2 cm; they are treated with an extractive solvent containing water, ethanol and/or mixtures thereof; the mixture is maintained in percolation under heating; at the end of the first recycle, the extraction is repeated under the same conditions 3 to 5 times, using fresh solvent every time. All the water-alcohol extracts are combined, filtered, and concentrated; the extractive solvents are removed by concentration under vacuum, under heating, and subsequent spray-drying on maltodextrin, until a homogeneous greenish- brown powder is obtained.
The Cistus x incanus L. extract with a polyphenol content ranging between 18 and 25% can be prepared by a method including the following steps: the pre-dried aerial parts are chopped, preferably to a length of 1-2 cm; then they are treated with an extractive solvent containing water, ethanol and/or mixtures thereof; the mixture is maintained in percolation under heating; at the end of the first recycle, the extraction is repeated under the same conditions 3 to 5 times, using fresh solvent every time. All the water-alcohol extracts are combined, filtered, and concentrated; the extractive solvents are removed by concentration under vacuum, under heating, and subsequent spray-drying on gum arabic until a homogeneous brown powder is obtained.
The synergic combination according to the invention is appropriately formulated in compositions suitable for use in applications in the oral hygiene field, for example in the form of mouthwashes, gels, pastes, chewing gums, chewable tablets, or orodispersible films. The concentrations of the extracts in the compositions can range within wide limits; broadly speaking they will range between 1 and 100 mg/ml per extract.
The invention is described in detail in the following example.
EXAMPLE
Evaluation of antimicrobial activity against Porphyromonas gingivalis
Porphyromonas gingivalis was cultured in Trypticase Soy Broth (TSB) in anaerobic conditions, and seeded in a 96-well multiwell plate at an optical density of 0.1 OD, then treated with the extracts for 24 hours.
Materials and reagents:
Porphyromonas gingivalis : the strain was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC 33277) and cultured according to the supplier’s instructions in TSB culture broth.
Supplemented Tryptic Soy Broth/ Agar (ATCC® Medium 2722)
DI Water -1000 ml Autocl ave at 121 °C .
Final pH 7.4 +/- 0.2
Stored at 2-8°C.
Growth conditions of micro-organism:
Temperature: 37°C
Atmosphere: anaerobic
The anaerobic conditions were obtained by using an anaerobic jar and AnaeroGen® Compact paper sachets (Thermo Scientific - AN0025A).
The freeze-dried strain was rehydrated with 1 ml of TSB under sterile conditions. About 100 mΐ of the bacterial suspension was used to inoculate a plate of TSA agar. The bacterial suspension and the plate were incubated at 37°C, under anaerobic conditions for 24-48 hours, until the turbidity increased and colonies appeared.
To evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the extracts against Porphyromonas gingivalis , the micro-organism was seeded in TSB in a 96-well plate at an optical density of 0.1 OD, and then treated with the extracts for 24 hours. The concentrations tested were 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 and 5 mg/mL, and each test was conducted in triplicate. The extracts were diluted in sterile culture broth. 10 pg/ml of the antibiotic amoxicillin was used as positive control. Incubation was conducted anaerobically at 37°C for 24 hours.
The absorbance was read at the wavelength of 595 nm. The absorbance value is directly proportional to bacterial growth. The absorbance data are shown in the graph. The significant differences between the groups were evaluated by ANOVA test, using GraphPad Prism 6.0. The data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) of three independent experiments.
Water-alcohol extracts of Scutellaria lateriflora L. and Cistus x incanus L. were tested on P. gingivalis , first individually and then in the proportion of 1:1, obtaining the following results:
• 30 mg/ml of Scutellaria leads to 16% growth inhibition
• 30 mg/ml of Cistus leads to 4% growth inhibition • 30 mg/ml of Scutellaria + 30 mg/ml of Cistus (ratio 1 : 1) leads to 48% growth inhibition, i.e.. twice (nearly 2.5 times) as much as what the sum should have been (about 20%).
In light of observed synergism, the following combinations of both extracts were tested, using ampicillin as positive control and broth medium without the addition of the extracts as negative control:
Scutellaria + Cistus 55 mg/mL+5 mg/mL 45 mg/mL+15 mg/mL 40 mg/mL+20 mg/mL 30 mg/mL+30 mg/mL 20 mg/mL+40 mg/mL 10 mg/mL+50 mg/mL 5 mg/mL+55 mg/mL Ampicillin 20 pM/mL
The results obtained, as reported in the annexed Figure, confirmed Scutellaria- Cistus combination synergic activity (ratio 1:1), and indicate that only the mixtures:
45 mg/mL+15 mg/mL 40 mg/mL+20 mg/mL 30 mg/mL+30 mg/mL exhibit a synergic activity towards the individual extracts, indicating that, when a larger amount Scutellaria extract is present with respect to Cistus extract (up to a ratio of 3 : 1), a synergic effect takes place. Conversely, when the Cistus extract is quantitatively more abundant than Scutellaria extract, no synergic effect takes place.
