• Description: Sophorolipids are a group of lactic acid-derived compounds that have been shown to have synergistic effects in the treatment of oral pathogens. They have been shown to have antimicrobial activity against both bacteria and fungi. Sophorolipids are effective against oral pathogens, such as Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans, at concentrations of 1 mg/mL or less. This effect is attributed to their surfactant properties, which interfere with the surface tension of water and increase its solubility in fats. The addition of sodium citrate increases their efficacy by inhibiting bacterial adhesion to tooth enamel. Sophorolipids also exhibit antimicrobial activity against human pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli, but not against Staphylococcus aureus or Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.
