BackgroundThe domesticated legume,Canavalia gladiata(commonly called the sword bean), is known to contain canavanine. The fruit is used in Chinese and Japanese herbal medicine for treating the discharge of pus, but its pharmacological mechanisms are still unclear.ObjectivesThis study examined the effect of sword bean extract (SBE) on (i) oral bacteria and human oral epithelial cellsin vitro, and (ii) the initiation and progression of experimentalPorphyromonas gingivalis‐induced alveolar bone resorption in rats.Material and MethodsA high‐performance liquid chromatography/ultraviolet method was applied to quantitate canavanine in SBE. By assessing oral bacterial growth, we estimated the minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration of SBE, canavanine, chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) solution. The cytotoxicity of SBE, canavanine, CHX, leupeptin and cystatin for KB cells was determined using a trypan blue assay. The effects of SBE, canavanine, leupeptin and cystatin on Arg‐gingipain (Rgp) and Lys‐gingipain (Kgp) were evaluated by colorimetric assay using synthetic substrates. To examine its effects onP. gingivalis‐associated periodontal tissue breakdown, SBE was orally administered toP. gingivalis‐infected rats.ResultSword bean extract contained 6.4% canavanine. SBE and canavanine inhibited the growth ofP. gingivalisandFusobacterium nucleatum. The cytotoxicity of SBE, canavanine and cystatin on KB cells was significantly lower than that of CHX. Inhibition of Rgp with SBE was comparable to that with leupeptin, a known Rgp inhibitor, and inhibition of Kgp with SBE was significantly higher than that with leupeptin at 500 μg/mL (p<0.05).P. gingivalis‐induced alveolar bone resorption was significantly suppressed by administration of SBE, with bone levels remaining comparable to non‐infected animals (p<0.05).ConclusionThe present study suggests that SBE might be effective againstP. gingivalis‐associated alveolar bone resorption.
