In Vivo Antibacterial Efficacy of Nitric Oxide-Releasing Hyperbranched Polymers against Porphyromonas gingivalis. 2019

Lei Yang, and Li Jing, and Yizu Jiao, and Lufei Wang, and Julie T Marchesan, and Steven Offenbacher, and Mark H Schoenfisch

The in vivo antibacterial activity of NO-releasing hyperbranched polymers was evaluated against Porphyromonas gingivalis, a key oral pathogen associated with periodontitis, using a murine subcutaneous chamber model. Escalating doses of NO-releasing polymers (1.5, 7.5, and 37.5 mg/kg) were administered into a P. gingivalis-infected chamber once a day for 3 days. Chamber fluids were collected on day 4, with microbiological evaluation indicating a dose-dependent bactericidal action. In particular, NO-releasing polymers at 37.5 mg/kg (1170 μg of NO/kg) achieved complete bacterial eradication (>6-log reduction in bacterial viability), demonstrating greater efficacy than amoxicillin (∼4-log reduction in bacterial viability), a commonly used antibiotic. Time-kill assays further revealed that largest dose (37.5 mg/kg; 1170 μg of NO/kg) resulted in ∼3-log killing of P. gingivalis after only a single dose. Based on these results, the potential clinical utility of NO-releasing hyperbranched polymers appears promising, particularly for oral health applications.

D009569 Nitric Oxide A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.

D010518 Periodontitis Inflammation and loss of connective tissues supporting or surrounding the teeth. This may involve any part of the PERIODONTIUM. Periodontitis is currently classified by disease progression (CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS; AGGRESSIVE PERIODONTITIS) instead of age of onset.
