Abstract
Human defense against infection remains a global topic. In addition to developing novel anti-infection drugs, therapeutic drug delivery strategies are also crucial to achieving a higher efficacy and lower toxicity of these drugs for treatment. The application of hydrogels has been proven to be an effective localized drug delivery approach to treating infections without generating significant systemic adverse effects. The recent emerging dynamic hydrogels further show power as injectable formulations, giving new tools for clinical treatments. In this review, we delve into the potential applications of dynamic hydrogels in antibacterial and antiviral treatments and elaborate on their molecular designs and practical implementations. By outlining the chemical designs underlying these hydrogels, we discuss how the choice of dynamic chemical bonds affects their stimulus responsiveness, self-healing capabilities, and mechanical properties. Afterwards, we focus on how to endow dynamic hydrogels with anti-infection properties. By comparing different drug-loading methods, we highlight the advantages of dynamic chemical bonds in achieving sustained and controlled drug release. Moreover, we also include the design principles and uses of hydrogels that possess inherent anti-infective properties. Furthermore, we explore the design principles and applications of hydrogels with inherent anti-infective properties. Finally, we briefly summarize the current challenges faced by dynamic hydrogels and present a forward-looking vision for their future development. Through this review, we expect to draw more attention to these therapeutic strategies among scientists working with chemistry, materials, as well as pharmaceutics.

Bioact Mater 2023; 30:129-141. [PMID: 37554541 PMCID: PMC10404845 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2023.07.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 43.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 07/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/10/2023] Open
Abstract
In clinical applications, there is a lack of wound dressings that combine efficient resistance to drug-resistant bacteria with good self-healing properties. In this study, a series of adhesive self-healing conductive antibacterial hydrogel dressings based on oxidized sodium alginate-grafted dopamine/carboxymethyl chitosan/Fe3+ (OSD/CMC/Fe hydrogel)/polydopamine-encapsulated poly(thiophene-3-acetic acid) (OSD/CMC/Fe/PA hydrogel) were prepared for the repair of infected wound. The Schiff base and Fe3+ coordination bonds of the hydrogel structure are dynamic bonds that can be repaired automatically after the hydrogel network is disrupted. Macroscopically, the hydrogel exhibits self-healing properties, allowing the hydrogel dressing to adapt to complex wound surfaces. The OSD/CMC/Fe/PA hydrogel showed good conductivity and photothermal antibacterial properties under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. In addition, the hydrogels exhibit tunable rheological properties, suitable mechanical properties, antioxidant properties, tissue adhesion properties and hemostatic properties. Furthermore, all hydrogel dressings improved wound healing in the infected full-thickness defect skin wound repair test in mice. The wound size repaired by OSD/CMC/Fe/PA3 hydrogel + NIR was much smaller (12%) than the control group treated with Tegaderm™ film after 14 days. In conclusion, the hydrogels have high antibacterial efficiency, suitable conductivity, great self-healing properties, good biocompatibility, hemostasis and antioxidant properties, making them promising candidates for wound healing dressings for the treatment of infected skin wounds.

An amperometric biosensor based on poly(L-aspartic acid), nanodiamond particles, carbon nanofiber, and ascorbate oxidase-modified glassy carbon electrode for the determination of L-ascorbic acid. Anal Bioanal Chem 2020; 412:5315-5327. [PMID: 32533225 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-020-02747-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2020] [Revised: 05/23/2020] [Accepted: 05/28/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
An amperometric L-ascorbic acid biosensor utilizing ascorbate oxidase (AOx) immobilized onto poly(L-aspartic acid) (P(L-Asp)) film was fabricated on carbon nanofiber (CNF) and nanodiamond particle (ND)-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Effects of AOx, ND, and CNF amounts were investigated by monitoring the response currents of the biosensor at different amounts of AOx, ND, and CNF. The electropolymerization step of L-aspartic acid on CNF-ND/GCE surface was also optimized. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques were used to enlighten the modification steps of the biosensor. The effects of pH and applied potential were studied in detail to achieve the best analytical performance. Under optimized experimental conditions, the AOx/P(L-Asp)/ND-CNF/GCE biosensor showed a linear response to L-ascorbic acid in the range of 2.0 × 10-7-1.8 × 10-3 M with a detection limit of 1.0 × 10-7 M and sensitivity of 105.0 μAmM-1 cm-2. The novel biosensing platform showed good reproducibility and selectivity. The strong interaction between AOx and the P(L-Asp)/ND-CNF matrix was revealed by the high repeatability (3.4%) and good operational stability. The AOx/P(L-Asp)/ND-CNF/GCE biosensor was successfully applied to the determination of L-ascorbic acid in vitamin C effervescent tablet and pharmaceutical powder containing ascorbic acid with good results, which makes it a promising approach for quantification of L-ascorbic acid.
