Description
Summary:Postoperative sore throat (POST) is one of the common complications after endotracheal intubation under general anesthesia. This work attempted to design and screen out the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compounds containing Lonicera japonica Thunb., Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat., and Siraitia grosvenorii (Swingle) C. Jeffrey ex A. M. Lu et Z. Y. Zhang, and further explored its antibacterial effect on POST. The antibacterial activities of Lonicera japonica, Chrysanthemum morifolium, and Siraitia grosvenorii on Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) UA159 was measured. Lonicera japonica (40 mg/mL), Chrysanthemum morifolium (10 mg/mL), and Siraitia grosvenorii (10 mg/mL) effectively inhibited the growth of S. mutans. Then, 5 different TCM compounds were designed using the U5 (53) uniform design experimentation method. TCM compound C3 (50 mg/mL Lonicera japonica, 10 mg/mL Chrysanthemum morifolium, and 15 mg/mL Siraitia grosvenorii) significantly promoted the inhibition zone and inhibited the biofilm formation of S. mutans. In addition, TCM compound C3 exerted great antibacterial effects on S. mutans and had the least effect on cell viability of primary human pharyngeal epithelial cells. In conclusion, this work demonstrated that TCM compound containing Lonicera japonica, Chrysanthemum morifolium, and Siraitia grosvenorii inhibited the growth of S. mutans. Thus, this study provides a theoretical basis for screening out the optimal compatibility of effective components in TCM mouthwash for relieving POST.
