pH-Responsive PVA/BC- f-GO Dressing Materials for Burn and Chronic Wound Healing with Curcumin Release Kinetics. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14101949. [PMID: 35631834 PMCID: PMC9145507 DOI: 10.3390/polym14101949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2022] [Revised: 05/02/2022] [Accepted: 05/06/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Polymeric materials have been essential biomaterials to develop hydrogels as wound dressings for sustained drug delivery and chronic wound healing. The microenvironment for wound healing is created by biocompatibility, bioactivity, and physicochemical behavior. Moreover, a bacterial infection often causes the healing process. The bacterial cellulose (BC) was functionalized using graphene oxide (GO) by hydrothermal method to have bacterial cellulose-functionalized-Graphene oxide (BC-f-GO). A simple blending method was used to crosslink BC-f-GO with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) by tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as a crosslinker. The structural, morphological, wetting, and mechanical tests were conducted using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), water contact angle, and a Universal testing machine (UTM). The release of Silver-sulphadiazine and drug release kinetics were studied at various pH levels and using different mathematical models (zero-order, first-order, Higuchi, Hixson, Korsmeyer–Peppas, and Baker–Lonsdale). The antibacterial properties were conducted against Gram-positive and Gram-negative severe infection-causing pathogens. These composite hydrogels presented potential anticancer activities against the U87 cell line by an increased GO amount. The result findings show that these composite hydrogels have physical-mechanical and inherent antimicrobial properties and controlled drug release, making them an ideal approach for skin wound healing. As a result, these hydrogels were discovered to be an ideal biomaterial for skin wound healing.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 281:114542. [PMID: 34428525 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2021.114542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2021] [Revised: 08/17/2021] [Accepted: 08/18/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY RELEVANCE The root bark of Morus alba Linn. (M. alba), a traditional folk medicine, has been documented in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, which has been widely used for asthma, fever, pneumonia, edema, vomit, colitis, bronchitis and keratitis diseases. Some of the diseases may be related to respiratory, digestive, urinary tract infections. Although Diels-Alder adducts (DAAs), flavonoids, 2-arylbenzofurans and stilbene compounds have been isolated from the root bark of M. alba, few compounds are reported for their antimicrobial efficacy in vivo and the mechanism. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of the study was to isolate and identify compounds of the root bark of M. alba in view of their anti-MRSA bioactivity, evaluate the anti-MRSA bioactivity of compounds and 60% ethanol elution (MA-6) in vitro and in vivo, and explore preliminary antibacterial mechanism in order to provide natural resources against MRSA infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Systematic phytochemical investigations were carried out according to the thin layer chromatography (TLC) of the active fraction MA-6 to find more anti-MRSA ingredients. The compounds of the root bark of M. alba were separated by column chromatography and identified by LC-MS/MS and NMR spectroscopy. The anti-MRSA efficacy of the active ingredients were evaluated by broth microdilution method and a murine infection model. The mode of action of compounds was explored by time-kill curve and post-contact effect. The preliminary mechanism of compounds against MRSA was explored by drug efflux pumps and bacterial biofilms. RESULTS Chemical isolation resulted in twenty-nine known compounds, most with one or more geranyl and prenyl units exhibited superior anti-MRSA bioactivity, with MIC values of 2-16 μg/mL. In addition, the mode of action indicated that compounds presented persistent antimicrobial effect, which also produced concentration-dependent and time-dependent killing activity or property. Preliminary mechanism showed that the compound kuwanon O (29) damaged the bacterial cell membranes, leading to the accumulation of antibiotics inside bacterial cells, moreover, MA-6 and kuwanon O (29) inhibited the efflux of drugs by combining with methicillin or ethidium bromide (EtBr), resulting in the MICs of EtBr and methicillin were obviously decreased three-fold. The anti-MRSA efficacy in vivo indicated that the active fraction MA-6 could reduce bacteria in spleen, liver, kidney and mortality of acutely infectious mice, which was better than the positive drug berberine chloride. CONCLUSION Experimental investigation showed that the MA-6 and compound 29 have promising bioactivity against MRSA in vitro and in vivo, which might be used as a potential source of new antibacterial medicine or a potential efflux pump inhibitor against MRSA infection.

Abstract
Pigments from microorganisms have triggered great interest in the market, mostly by their "natural" appeal, their favorable production conditions, in addition to the potential new chemical structures or naturally overproducing strains. They have been used in: food, feed, dairy, textile, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. The high rate of pigment production in microorganisms recovered from Antarctica in response to selective pressures such as: high UV radiation, low temperatures, and freezing and thawing cycles makes this a unique biome which means that much of its biological heritage cannot be found elsewhere on the planet. This vast arsenal of pigmented molecules has different functions in bacteria and may exhibit different biotechnological activities, such as: extracellular sunscreens, photoprotective function, antimicrobial activity, biodegradability, etc. However, many challenges for the commercial use of these compounds have yet to be overcome, such as: the low stability of natural pigments in cosmetic formulations, the change in color when subjected to pH variations, the low yield and the high costs in their production. This review surveys the different types of natural pigments found in Antarctic bacteria, classifying them according to their chemical structure. Finally, we give an overview of the main pigments that are used commercially today.

Abstract
In bone tissue engineering, multifunctional composite materials are very challenging. Bone tissue engineering is an innovative technique to develop biocompatible scaffolds with suitable orthopedic applications with enhanced antibacterial and mechanical properties. This research introduces a polymeric nanocomposite scaffold based on arabinoxylan-co-acrylic acid, nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp), nano-aluminum oxide (nAl2O3), and graphene oxide (GO) by free-radical polymerization for the development of porous scaffolds using the freeze-drying technique. These polymeric nanocomposite scaffolds were coated with silver (Ag) nanoparticles to improve antibacterial activities. Together, nHAp, nAl2O3, and GO enhance the multifunctional properties of materials, which regulate their physicochemical and biomechanical properties. Results revealed that the Ag-coated polymeric nanocomposite scaffolds had excellent antibacterial properties and better microstructural properties. Regulated morphological properties and maximal antibacterial inhibition zones were found in the porous scaffolds with the increasing amount of GO. Moreover, the nanosystem and the polymeric matrix have improved the compressive strength (18.89 MPa) and Young's modulus (198.61 MPa) of scaffolds upon increasing the amount of GO. The biological activities of the scaffolds were investigated against the mouse preosteoblast cell lines (MC3T3-E1) and increasing the quantities of GO helps cell adherence and proliferation. Therefore, our findings showed that these silver-coated polymeric nanocomposite scaffolds have the potential for engineering bone tissue.

Abstract
Pigments are an essential part of everyday life on Earth with rapidly growing industrial and biomedical applications. Synthetic pigments account for a major portion of these pigments that in turn have deleterious effects on public health and environment. Such drawbacks of synthetic pigments have shifted the trend to use natural pigments that are considered as the best alternative to synthetic pigments due to their significant properties. Natural pigments from microorganisms are of great interest due to their broader applications in the pharmaceutical, food, and textile industry with increasing demand among the consumers opting for natural pigments. To fulfill the market demand of natural pigments new sources should be explored. Cold-adapted bacteria and fungi in the cryosphere produce a variety of pigments as a protective strategy against ecological stresses such as low temperature, oxidative stresses, and ultraviolet radiation making them a potential source for natural pigment production. This review highlights the protective strategies and pigment production by cold-adapted bacteria and fungi, their industrial and biomedical applications, condition optimization for maximum pigment extraction as well as the challenges facing in the exploitation of cryospheric microorganisms for pigment extraction that hopefully will provide valuable information, direction, and progress in forthcoming studies.

Abstract
Chitosan (biopolymer) and polyvinyl pyrolidone (PVP) with aminopropyletriethoxy silane (cross linker) based hydrogels were prepared and tested for controlled drug release. The drug release and kinetics were studied as a function of pH. Formulations were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis and TAP 32 hydrogel formulation was the most stable and hydrogel samples showed promising antibacterial activity against E. coli strain. The maximum swelling (4386%) was observed for TAP 32 formulation in distilled water, which was decreased with the concentration of ions. The diffusion exponent (n) values of all hydrogel formulations were recorded to be <0.5, which is an indication of Quasi-Fickian diffusion. The maximum swelling was observed at pH 2 and decreased at higher pH. The pH sensitivity of hydrogels found to be promising for their use in drug delivery, which was tested for cefixime drug. Drug release of 81.6% was observed for the period of 12 h in a simulated gastric fluid (SGF). The values of R2 for zero order, first order, Higuchi, Hixson, Korsmeyer-Peppas and Baker-Lonsdale were 0.97, 0.9818, 0.99, 0.99, 0.88 and 0.80, respectively. The hydrogels based on chitosan and PVP revealed potential for controlled cefixime drug release in gastric pH medium.

Investigating the potential use of an Antarctic variant of Janthinobacterium lividum for tackling antimicrobial resistance in a One Health approach. Sci Rep 2018; 8:15272.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to describe a new variant of Janthinobacterium lividum - ROICE173, isolated from Antarctic snow, and to investigate the antimicrobial effect of the crude bacterial extract against 200 multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria of both clinical and environmental origin, displaying various antibiotic resistance patterns. ROICE173 is extremotolerant, grows at high pH (5.5–9.5), in high salinity (3%) and in the presence of different xenobiotic compounds and various antibiotics. The best violacein yield (4.59 ± 0.78 mg·g−1 wet biomass) was obtained at 22 °C, on R2 broth supplemented with 1% glycerol. When the crude extract was tested for antimicrobial activity, a clear bactericidal effect was observed on 79 strains (40%), a bacteriostatic effect on 25 strains (12%) and no effect in the case of 96 strains (48%). A very good inhibitory effect was noticed against numerous MRSA, MSSA, Enterococci, and Enterobacteriaceae isolates. For several environmental E. coli strains, the bactericidal effect was encountered at a violacein concentration below of what was previously reported. A different effect (bacteriostatic vs. bactericidal) was observed in the case of Enterobacteriaceae isolated from raw vs. treated wastewater, suggesting that the wastewater treatment process may influence the susceptibility of MDR bacteria to violacein containing bacterial extracts.
