Abstract: Objective To observe the impact of magnololon Candida albicans adhesion and biofilm formation in order to assess its anti-caries effect. Methods Through 96-well microtiter plate copy C.albicans in vitro adhesion and biofilm model, XTT reduction assay was applied to evaluate the effect of the different concentrations of magnolol on C.albicans adhesion and biofilm formation. Results Magnolol has inhibitory effect on C. albicans adhesion, its action has the time and the concentration dependence. The magnolol of 62.5 mg/L and 125 mg/L of magnolol had significantly inhibited adhesion of C. albicans, compared with the negative control group, the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05). Test the concentration of the selected five magnolol had different degrees of inhibition on C. albicans biofilms, of which the inhibition rates of 125 mg/L magnolol against C. albicans biofilm was 66.32%. Conclusion Magnolol can inhibit adhesion of C. albicans and reduce its pathogenicity, and has obvious inhibitory effect to the formed biofilm. The results suggest magnolol has a good application prospect as an anti-caries drug.
