Phytochemical Composition and In Vitro Biological Activity of <i>Iris</i> spp. (Iridaceae): A New Source of Bioactive Constituents for the Inhibition of Oral Bacterial Biofilms

The inhibition and eradication of oral biofilms is increasingly focused on the use of plant extracts as mouthwashes and toothpastes adjuvants. Here, we report on the chemical composition and the antibiofilm activity of 15 methanolic extracts of <i>Iris</i> species against both mono-(<...

description The inhibition and eradication of oral biofilms is increasingly focused on the use of plant extracts as mouthwashes and toothpastes adjuvants. Here, we report on the chemical composition and the antibiofilm activity of 15 methanolic extracts of <i>Iris</i> species against both mono-(<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>, <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>) and multi-species oral biofilms (<i>Streptococcus gordonii, Veillonella parvula, Fusobacterium nucleatum</i> subsp. <i>nucleatum</i>, and <i>Actinomyces naeslundii</i>). The phytochemical profiles of <i>Iris pallida</i> s.l., <i>Iris versicolor</i> L., <i>Iris lactea</i> Pall., <i>Iris carthaliniae</i> Fomin, and <i>Iris germanica</i> were determined by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution tandem mass spectroscopy (UHPLC-HRMS/MS) analysis, and a total of 180 compounds were identified among <i>Iris</i> species with (iso)flavonoid dominancy. <i>I. pallida, I. versicolor,</i> and <i>I. germanica</i> inhibited both the quorum sensing and adhesion during biofilm formation in a concentration-dependent manner. However, the extracts were less active against maturated biofilms. Of the five tested species, <i>Iris pallida</i> s.l. was the most effective at both inhibiting biofilm formation and disrupting existing biofilms, and the leaf extract exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect compared to the root and rhizome extracts. The cytotoxicity of the extracts was excluded in human fibroblasts. The inhibition of bacterial adhesion significantly correlated with myristic acid content, and quorum sensing inhibition correlated with the 7-β-hydroxystigmast-4-en-3-one content. These findings could be useful for establishing an effective tool for the control of oral biofilms and thus dental diseases.
