| Bioactivity | o-Cymen-5-ol is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent with direct antimicrobial activity. o-Cymen-5-ol showed effective minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against a variety of bacteria and fungi, such as Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans. The combination of o-Cymen-5-ol and zinc showed synergistic effects, enhancing the inhibitory effect against oral pathogens. o-Cymen-5-ol was able to inhibit the glycolysis process and co-enhanced this effect with zinc. o-Cymen-5-ol showed a stronger antibacterial effect in toothpaste than placebo[1]. |
