Ellagic acid and its derivatives were found to abrogate the enzymatic activity of the glucosyltransferases (GTases) of mutans streptococci. These compounds preferentially inhibited the water-soluble glucan synthesis by GTase of Streptococcus mutans MT8148 and inhibited the water-insoluble glucan synthesis by GTase of Streptococcus sobrinus 6715. This inhibition resulted in a reduction of cellular adherence of mutans streptococci to a glass surface.
发现鞣花酸及其衍生物可消除变形链球菌葡糖基转移酶(GTases)的酶活性。这些化合物优先抑制变形链球菌MT8148的GTase合成水溶性葡聚糖,并抑制远缘链球菌6715的GTase合成水不溶性葡聚糖。这种抑制作用导致变形链球菌对玻璃表面的细胞黏附减少。
