Patil N, Wairkar S. Chitosan and α-cellulose-based mupirocin topical film-forming spray: Optimization, in vitro characterization, antimicrobial studies and wound healing activity. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 254:127622. [PMID: 37890752 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127622] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023]
Abstract
The study aimed to develop a biopolymer-based mupirocin film-forming spray (MUP-FFS) for wound healing using chitosan and α-cellulose. MUP-FFS formulation was optimized by box-Behnken design, wherein the amount of chitosan, glycerol, and microfluidizer cycles showed a significant effect on the drying time and sprayability, but drug release remained unaffected. The optimized MUP-FFS formulation prepared by 13 microfluidizer cycles containing chitosan (0.125 %), glycerol (2.76 %) was quickly sprayable with 235 s drying time. The viscosity, spray uniformity and occlusive potential were found optimum for MUP-FFS. MUP-FFS released 98.066 % of MUP, 2-fold and 4-fold greater than the marketed ointment and MUP-API. The transmission electron microscopy displayed a homogeneous fibrous network, and scanning electron microphotographs showed uniform drug distribution on the MUP-film surface. The antimicrobial study revealed the efficacy of MUP-FFS against S.aureus and E.coli, wherein the former was more susceptible to formulation than the later. MUP-FFS indicated better wound contraction and healing than other groups on 7th and 14th day in rats. On Day-21, MUP-FFS could regress TGF-β1 to a normal level similar to the marketed formulation, which was also reflected in histopathological observations. Therefore, MUP-FFS can be a treatment option for chronic wounds, applied without touch and with minimal mechanical pressure.

Development and evaluation of pH sensitive semi-interpenetrating networks: assessing the impact of itaconic acid and aloe vera on network swelling and cetirizine release. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1173883. [PMID: 37229490 PMCID: PMC10203566 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1173883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Hydrogels are crosslinked three-dimensional networks, and their properties can be easily tuned to target the various segments of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Cetirizine HCl (CTZ HCl) is an antihistaminic drug, which when given orally can upset the stomach. Moreover, this molecule has shown maximum absorption in the intestine. To address these issues, we developed a pH-responsive semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) for the delivery of CTZ HCl to the lower part of the GIT. Initially, 10 different formulations of itaconic acid-grafted-poly (acrylamide)/aloe vera [IA-g-poly (AAm)/aloe vera] semi-IPN were developed by varying the concentration of IA and aloe vera using the free radical polymerization technique. Based on swelling and sol-gel analysis, formulation F5 containing 0.3%w/w aloe vera and 6%w/w IA was chosen as the optimum formulation. The solid-state characterization of the optimized formulation (F5) revealed a successful incorporation of CTZ HCl in semi-IPN without any drug-destabilizing interaction. The in vitro drug release from F5 showed limited release in acidic media followed by a controlled release in the intestinal environment for over 72 h. Furthermore, during the in vivo evaluation, formulation F5 did not affect the hematological parameters, kidney, and liver functions. Clinical observations did not reveal any signs of illness in rabbits treated with hydrogels. Histopathological images of vital organs of treated animals showed normal cellular architecture. Thus, the results suggest a non-toxic nature and overall potential of the developed formulation as a targeted drug carrier.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic wound healing is a major challenge for health care system around the globe. Current study was conducted to develop and characterize chemically cross-linked polyethylene glycol-co-poly (AMPS) hydrogel membranes to enhanced the wound healing efficiency of antibiotic mupirocin (MP). METHODS Free radical polymerization technique was used for the development of hydrogel membranes. In aqueous medium, polymer PEG-4000 cross-linked with the monomer 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) in the presence of initiators ammonium peroxide sulfate (APS) and sodium hydrogen sulfite (SHS). N, N-Methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) was used as cross-linker in the preparation of hydrogel membranes. Developed membranes were spherical, transparent, and elastic. FTIR, TGA/DSC, and SEM were used to characterize the polymeric system. Swelling behavior, drug loading, and its release pattern at pH of 5.5 and 7.4, irritation study, ex vivo drug permeation, and deposition study was also evaluated. RESULTS Formed membranes were spherical, transparent and elastic. The formation of a stable polymeric network was confirmed by structural and thermal analysis. Permeation of the drug its deposition in the skin showed good permeation and retention. No irritancy to the skin was observed. CONCLUSION On the basis of results obtained, the present study concluded that it may be an ideal network for the delivery of mupirocin in skin infections.

In vitro and in vivo evaluation of gellan gum hydrogel films: Assessing the co impact of therapeutic oils and ofloxacin on wound healing. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 166:483-495.

Abstract
Herein, we report co-encapsulation of ofloxacin with tea tree or lavender oil in gellan gum based hydrogel films by solvent casting ionotropic gelation method as wound dressing. Prepared films were transparent, flexible, and displayed antioxidant activity with superior antibacterial response against common inhabitants of wound i.e. gram positive and negative bacteria. Solid-state characterization of optimized formulation (OL3 and OT3) revealed successful incorporation of drug and oils in hydrogel structure without any noticeable interaction. In vitro release studies showed an initial burst release but remaining portion released in controlled manner over 48 h from the films and furthermore, presence of oils did not affected the ofloxacin release. Optimized formulation containing ofloxacin and 25% w/w lavender/tea tree oil showed 98% wound contraction in rats after ten days of treatment. Histological images displayed completely healed epidermis. Taken together, our prepared hydrogel films demonstrated favorable features with appreciable antibacterial, wound healing activity and could be useful for the treatment of full thickness wounds.
