Porphyromonas gingivalis is a pathogenic gram negative anaerobic bacteria that can colonize in the oral cavity, causing a bacterially induced inflammatory disease defined as periodontal disease. Oral and/or topical antibiotics might be used to control or treat infection in addition to nonsurgical interventions like scaling and root planing. But the overuse or misuse of antibiotics could be attributed to the emergence of antibiotic resistance P. gingivalis strain. To prevent this, 3BIGS Co. Ltd. has successfully identified an antibacterial peptide which has excellent antibacterial activity against P. gingivalis. The invention is patent registered in the Korean Intellectual Property office. The peptide is effective against P. gingivalis at minimal concentration than the regular dose of antibiotics. Notably, the peptide exhibited no cytotoxicity in normal epidermal phenotype present in the oral mucosa at the concentration needed for anti P. gingivalis activity as well as higher concentrations. Taken together, this peptide has good antibacterial activity with no cytotoxicity. Several scientific studies have investigated the link between periodontal disease and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). P. gingivalis, the periodontal pathogens were detected in the AD brain and the chronic inflammatory nature of periodontitis exacerbate the inflammatory process in the AD brain. So, we intend to propose the usage of 3BIGS anti P. gingivalis peptide both in the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease and Alzheimer's disease.
