Abstract: Objective: To study the effects of D-valine and L-valine on porphyromonas gingivalis (P.gingivalis) and its biofilms. Methods: The concentration of D-valine without cytotoxicity was obtained by CCK-8 experiment. The effects of D-valine and L-valine on the bacterial activity of P.gingivalis were evaluated by growth curve experiment. The inhibition of D-valine and L-valine on the biofilm formation of P.gingivalis and the dispersion of mature P.gingivalis biofilm were evaluated by crystal violet staining experiment, extracellular polysaccharide experiment, and scanning electron microscope. Results: D-valine had no cytotoxicity to fibroblasts at 50 mmol/L and 75 mmol/L concentrations. D-valine (75 mmol/L) could effectively inhibit the bacterial activity and biofilm formation of P.gingivalis and destroyed the mature P.gingivalis biofilm. D-valine (50 mmol/L) inhibited the bioactivity and biofilm formation of P.gingivalis for 72 h. L-valine (75 mmol/L and 50 mmol/L) promoted the bacterial activity of P.gingivalis and the formation of biofilm. When D-valine and L-valine existed simultaneously, D-valine functions were shown only. Conclusion: D-valine can inhibit the bacterial activity and biofilm formation of P.gingivalis and destroy the mature biofilm. L-valine can promote the bacterial activity and biofilm formation of P.gingivalis, but it is not antagonistic to D-valine. D-valine can be used as a potential biologic agent to treat bacterial plaque related diseases.
