Advances of biomacromolecule-based antibacterial hydrogels and their performance evaluation for wound healing: A review. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 279:135577. [PMID: 39270907 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 09/09/2024] [Accepted: 09/10/2024] [Indexed: 09/15/2024]
Abstract
Biomacromolecule hydrogels possess excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility, but their inability to combat bacteria restricts their application in the biomedical field. With the increasing requirements and demands for hydrogel dressings, wound dressings with antibacterial properties of biomacromolecule hydrogels reinforced by adding antibacterial agents have attracted much attention, and related reviews are emerging. In this paper, the advances of biomacromolecule antibacterial hydrogels (including chitosan, sodium alginate, Hyaluronic acid, cellulose and gelatin) were first overviewed, and the antibacterial agents incorporated into hydrogels were classified (including metals and their derivatives, carbon-based materials, and native compounds). A series of performance evaluations of antibacterial hydrogels in the process of promoting wound healing were then reviewed, including basic properties (mechanical, rheological, injectable and self-healing, etc.), in vitro experiments (hemostasis, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation, biocompatibility) and in vivo experiments (in vivo model, histomorphology analysis, cytokines). Finally, the future development of biomacromolecule-based antibacterial hydrogels for wound healing is prospected. This work can provide a useful reference for researchers to prepare practical new wound hydrogel dressings.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS) is a polymer made up of mainly deacetylated β-1,4 D-glucosamine units, which is part of a large group of D-glucosamine oligomers known as chitooligosaccharides, which can be obtained from chitin, most abundant natural polymer after cellulose and central component of the shrimp exoskeleton. It is known that it can be used for the development of materials, among which its use stands out in wastewater treatment (removal of metal ions, dyes, and as a membrane in purification processes), food industry (anti-cholesterol and fat, packaging material, preservative, and food additive), agriculture (seed and fertilizer coating, controlled release agrochemicals), pulp and paper industry (surface treatment, adhesive paper), cosmetics (body creams, lotions, etc.), in the engineering of tissues, wound healing, as excipients for drug administration, gels, membranes, nanofibers, beads, microparticles, nanoparticles, scaffolds, sponges, and diverse biological ones, specifically antibacterial and antifungal activities. This article reviews the main contributions published in the last ten years regarding the use and application of CS in medical chemistry. The applications exposed here involve regenerative medicine in the design of bioprocesses and tissue engineering, Pharmaceutical sciences to obtain biomaterials, polymers, biomedicine, and the use of nanomaterials and nanotechnology, toxicology, and Clinical Pharmaceuticals, emphasizing the perspectives and the direction that can take research in this area.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex biological process with four main phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Current treatments such as cotton and gauze may delay the wound healing process which gives a demand for more innovative treatments. Nanofibers are nanoparticles that resemble the extracellular matrix of the skin and have a large specific surface area, high porosity, good mechanical properties, controllable morphology, and size. Nanofibers are generated by electrospinning method that utilizes high electric force. Electrospinning device composed of high voltage power source, syringe that contains polymer solution, needle, and collector to collect nanofibers. Many polymers can be used in nanofiber that can be from natural or from synthetic origin. As such, electrospun nanofibers are potential scaffolds for wound healing applications. This review discusses the advanced electrospun nanofiber morphologies used in wound healing that is prepared by modified electrospinning techniques.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process that needs an appropriate environment to overcome infection and inflammation to progress well. Wounds lead to morbidity, mortality, and a significant economic burden, often due to the non-availability of suitable treatments. Hence, this field has lured the attention of researchers and pharmaceutical industries for decades. As a result, the global wound care market is expected to be 27.8 billion USD by 2026 from 19.3 billion USD in 2021, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6 %. Wound dressings have emerged as an effective treatment to maintain moisture, protect from pathogens, and impede wound healing. However, synthetic polymer-based dressings fail to comprehensively address optimal and quick regeneration requirements. Natural polymers like glucan and galactan-based carbohydrate dressings have received much attention due to their inherent biocompatibility, biodegradability, inexpensiveness, and natural abundance. Also, nanofibrous mesh supports better proliferation and migration of fibroblasts because of their large surface area and similarity to the extracellular matrix (ECM). Thus, nanostructured dressings derived from glucans and galactans (i.e., chitosan, agar/agarose, pullulan, curdlan, carrageenan, etc.) can overcome the limitations associated with traditional wound dressings. However, they require further development pertaining to the wireless determination of wound bed status and its clinical assessment. The present review intends to provide insight into such carbohydrate-based nanofibrous dressings and their prospects, along with some clinical case studies.

Abstract
Wound healing is a public health concern worldwide, particularly in chronic wounds due to delayed healing and susceptibility to bacterial infection. Nanomaterials are widely used in wound healing treatments due to their unique properties associated with their size and very large surface-area-to-volume ratio compared to the same material in bulk. The properties of nanomaterials can be expanded and improved upon with the addition of honey and propolis, due to the presence of bioactive molecules such as polyphenols, flavonoids, peptides, and enzymes. These bionanomaterials can act at different stages of wound healing and through different mechanisms, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, collagen synthesis stimulation, cell proliferation, and angiogenic effects. Biomaterials, at the nanoscale, show new alternatives for wound therapy, allowing for targeted and continuous delivery of beekeeping products at the injection site, thus avoiding possible systemic adverse effects. Here, we summarize the most recent therapies for wound healing based on bionanomaterials assisted by honey and propolis, with a focus on in vitro and in vivo studies. We highlight the type, composition (honey, propolis, and polymeric scaffolds), biological, physicochemical/mechanical properties, potential applications and patents related of the last eight years. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges, advantages, disadvantages and stability of different bionanomaterials related to their clinical translation and insight into the investigation and development of new treatments for wound healing.

Abstract
Natural substances are increasingly being developed for use in health-related applications. Honey has attracted significant interest, not only for its physical and chemical properties, but also for its antibacterial activity. For the first time, suspensions of Black Forest honeydew honey and manuka honey UMF 20+ were examined for their antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis using flow cytometry. The inhibitory effect of honey on bacterial growth was evident at concentrations of 10, 20 and 30 v/v%. The minimum inhibitory effects of both honey types against each bacterium were also investigated and reported. Electrospray ionisation (ESI) mass spectrometry was performed on both Black Forest honeydew honey and manuka honey UMF 20+. Manuka honey had a gluconic concentration of 2519 mg/kg, whilst Black Forest honeydew honey had a concentration of 2195 mg/kg. Manuka honey demonstrated the strongest potency when compared to Black Forest honeydew honey; therefore, it was incorporated into nanofiber scaffolds using pressurised gyration and 10, 20 and 30 v/v% manuka honey-polycaprolactone solutions. Composite fibres were analysed for their morphology and topography using scanning electron microscopy. The average fibre diameter of the manuka honey-polycaprolactone scaffolds was found to range from 437 to 815 nm. The antibacterial activity of the 30 v/v% scaffolds was studied using S. epidermidis. Strong antibacterial activity was observed with a bacterial reduction rate of over 90%. The results show that honey composite fibres formed using pressurised gyration can be considered a natural therapeutic agent for various medicinal purposes, including wound-healing applications.

Abstract
Honey was used in traditional medicine to treat wounds until the advent of modern medicine. The rising global antibiotic resistance has forced the development of novel therapies as alternatives to combat infections. Consequently, honey is experiencing a resurgence in evaluation for antimicrobial and wound healing applications. A range of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant strains and biofilms, are inhibited by honey. Furthermore, susceptibility to antibiotics can be restored when used synergistically with honey. Honey’s antimicrobial activity also includes antifungal and antiviral properties, and in most varieties of honey, its activity is attributed to the enzymatic generation of hydrogen peroxide, a reactive oxygen species. Non-peroxide factors include low water activity, acidity, phenolic content, defensin-1, and methylglyoxal (Leptospermum honeys). Honey has also been widely explored as a tissue-regenerative agent. It can contribute to all stages of wound healing, and thus has been used in direct application and in dressings. The difficulty of the sustained delivery of honey’s active ingredients to the wound site has driven the development of tissue engineering approaches (e.g., electrospinning and hydrogels). This review presents the most in-depth and up-to-date comprehensive overview of honey’s antimicrobial and wound healing properties, commercial and medical uses, and its growing experimental use in tissue-engineered scaffolds.

Abstract
The process of secondary intention wound healing includes long repair and healing time. Electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds have shown potential for wound dressing. Biopolymers have gained much attention due to their remarkable characteristics such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-immunogenicity and nontoxicity. This study anticipated to develop a new composite metronidazole (MTZ) immobilized nanofibrous scaffold based on poly (3-hydroxy butyrate) (PHB) and Gelatin (Gel) to be utilized as a novel secondary intention wound healing accelerator. Herein, PHB and Gel were mixed together at different weight ratios to prepare polymer solutions with final concentration of (7%), loaded with two different concentrations 5% (Z1) and 10% (Z2) of MTZ. Nanofibrous scaffolds were obtained by manipulating electrospinning technique. The properties of MTZ immobilized PHB/Gel nanofibrous scaffold were evaluated (SEM, FTIR, TGA, water uptake, contact angle, porosity, mechanical properties and antibacterial activity). Additionally, in vitro cytocompatibility of the obtained nanofibrous scaffolds were assessed by using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8 assay). Moreover, in vivo wound healing experiments revealed that the prepared nanofibrous scaffold highly augmented the transforming growth factor (TGF-β) signaling pathway, moderately suppressed the pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL-6). These results indicate that MTZ immobilized PHB/Gel nanofibrous scaffold significantly boost accelerating secondary intention wound healing.

Abstract
Nanostructure adsorbents namely nanofibers have been demonstrated to have a high adsorption rate and are efficient to treat wastewater. Herein, chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) blend nanofiber membranes prepared by electrospinning method were crosslinked using glutaraldehyde and functionalized with 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride to be used as a potential bio-sorbent for heavy metal ions removal. The chitosan was first hydrolyzed before electrospinning with PVA, followed by crosslinking and further functionalized by ionic liquid to overcome the limitation of chitosan which has low adsorption capacity and unsuitable physical properties for the adsorption process. The morphology and the chemical bond formed were investigated by using field emission scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (FESEM-EDX) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) showing that the hydrolyzed chitosan/PVA nanofiber membranes were successfully crosslinked and functionalized. The synthesized adsorbent was evaluated in pure heavy metal ions solutions namely Pb(II), Mn(II), and Cu(II) and shown best performance for Pb(II) ions. The highest adsorption capacity recorded for Pb(II) ions was 166.34 mg/g and are well fitted to the Freundlich isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model to describe the adsorption equilibrium and kinetic rate of the Pb(II) uptake, respectively. The synthesized adsorbent clearly shows a great capability to remove Pb(II) ions.

[PMID: 34756969 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.10.166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2021] [Revised: 10/03/2021] [Accepted: 10/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Chitosan-based nanofibers (CS-NFs) are excellent artificial extracellular matrices (ECMs) due to the resemblance of CS with the glycosaminoglycans of the natural ECMs. Despite this excellent feature, the poor electrospinnability and mechanical properties of CS are responsible for important limitations in respect to its biomedical applications. To improve the CS's physico-chemical properties, new bioactive and biomimetic CS-NFs were formulated with polyethylene oxide (PEO), having incorporated different active components (ACs) with important beneficial effects for healing. Manuka honey (trophic and antimicrobial effects), propolis (antimicrobial effects), Calendula officinalis infusion (antioxidant effect, reepithelialization stimulating agent), insulin (trophic effect), and L-arginine (angiogenic effect) were selected as ACs. SEM morphology analysis revealed well-alignment, unidirectional arrays, with small diameters, no beads, and smooth surfaces for developed CS_PEO-ACs NFs. The developed NFs showed good biodegradability (NFs mats lost up to 60% of their initial weight in PBS), increased hemocompatibility (hemolytic index less than 4%), and a reduced cytotoxicity degree (cell viability degree more than 90%). In addition, significant antioxidant and antimicrobial effects were noted for the developed NFs which make them suitable for chronic wounds, due to the role of oxidative stress and infection risk in delaying normal wound healing. The most suitable for wound healing applications seems to be CS_PEO@P_C which showed an improved hemolysis index (2.92 ± 0.16%), is non-toxic (cell viability degree more than 97%), and has also significant radical scavenging effect (DPPH inhibition more than 65%). In addition, CS_PEO@P_C presents increased antimicrobial effects, more noticeably for Staphylococcus aureus strain, which is a key feature in preventing wound infection and delaying the healing process. It can be concluded that the developed CS/PEO-ACs NFs are very promising biomaterials for wound care, especially CS_PEO@P_C.

Abstract
Tissue repair and regeneration is an interdisciplinary field focusing on developing bioactive substitutes aimed at restoring pristine functions of damaged, diseased tissues. Biomaterials, intended as those materials compatible with living tissues after in vivo administration, play a pivotal role in this area and they have been successfully studied and developed for several years. Namely, the researches focus on improving bio-inert biomaterials that well integrate in living tissues with no or minimal tissue response, or bioactive materials that influence biological response, stimulating new tissue re-growth. This review aims to gather and introduce, in the context of Italian scientific community, cutting-edge advancements in biomaterial science applied to tissue repair and regeneration. After introducing tissue repair and regeneration, the review focuses on biodegradable and biocompatible biomaterials such as collagen, polysaccharides, silk proteins, polyesters and their derivatives, characterized by the most promising outputs in biomedical science. Attention is pointed out also to those biomaterials exerting peculiar activities, e.g., antibacterial. The regulatory frame applied to pre-clinical and early clinical studies is also outlined by distinguishing between Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products and Medical Devices.

Abstract
Honey is a natural product rich in several phenolic compounds, enzymes, and sugars with antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial potential. Indeed, the development of honey-based adhesives for wound care and other biomedical applications are topics being widely investigated over the years. Some of the advantages of the use of honey for wound-healing solutions are the acceleration of dermal repair and epithelialization, angiogenesis promotion, immune response promotion and the reduction in healing-related infections with pathogenic microorganisms. This paper reviews the main role of honey on the development of wound-healing-based applications, the main compounds responsible for the healing capacity, how the honey origin can influence the healing properties, also highlighting promising results in in vitro and in vivo trials. The challenges in the use of honey for wound healing are also covered and discussed. The delivery methodology (direct application, incorporated in fibrous membranes and hydrogels) is also presented and discussed.

Abstract
Nowadays, decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) has received widespread attention due to its diversity in providing the unique structural and functional components to support cell growth, and finding material with good biocompatibility and anti-infection capability for skin tissue engineering is still a challenge. In this study, a novel dECM/Gel/CS scaffold with appropriate mechanical strength, good antibacterial activity and high biocompatibility was prepared using a one-pot method. The results showed that the immune components such as cells and DNA (about 98.1%) were successfully removed from the porcine skin tissue. The dECM/Gel/CS scaffolds exhibited an interconnected pore structure and had a high porosity (>90%) to promote cell growth. Moreover, the appropriate elastic modulus (≥482.17 kPa) and degradability (≥80.04% for 15 days) of the scaffolds offered stout "houses" for cell proliferation and suitable degradation rate to match the new tissue formation in skin tissue engineering. Furthermore, the addition of chitosan endowed the scaffold with good antibacterial activity, water and protein absorption capacity to avoid wound infection, and maintain the moisture and nutrition balance. In vitro cytocompatibility studies showed that the presence of dECM effectively enhanced the cell proliferation. Overall, the advanced dECM/Gel/CS scaffold has considerable potential to be applied in skin tissue engineering.

Abstract
The management of chronic wounds is challenging. The factors that impede wound healing include malnutrition, diseases (such as diabetes, cancer), and bacterial infection. Most of the presently utilized wound dressing materials suffer from severe limitations, including poor antibacterial and mechanical properties. Wound dressings formulated from the combination of biopolymers and synthetic polymers (i.e., poly (vinyl alcohol) or poly (ε-caprolactone) display interesting properties, including good biocompatibility, improved biodegradation, good mechanical properties and antimicrobial effects, promote tissue regeneration, etc. Formulation of these wound dressings via electrospinning technique is cost-effective, useful for uniform and continuous nanofibers with controllable pore structure, high porosity, excellent swelling capacity, good gaseous exchange, excellent cellular adhesion, and show a good capability to provide moisture and warmth environment for the accelerated wound healing process. Based on the above-mentioned outstanding properties of nanofibers and the unique properties of hybrid wound dressings prepared from poly (vinyl alcohol) and poly (ε-caprolactone), this review reports the in vitro and in vivo outcomes of the reported hybrid nanofibers.

Abstract
Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a well-known FDA approved biomaterial for tissue engineering. However, its hydrophobic properties limit its use for skin wound healing which makes its functionalization necessary. In this work, we present the fabrication and evaluation of PCL nanofibers by the electrospinning technique, as well as PCL functionalized with 6-deoxy-6-amino-β-cyclodextrin (aminated nanofibers). Afterwards, epithelial growth factor (EGF) was anchored onto hydrophilic PCL/deoxy-6-amino-β-cyclodextrin. The characterization of the three electrospun fibers was made by means of field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR); Confocal-Raman Spectroscopy were used for elucidated the chemical structure, the hydrophilicity was determined by Contact Angle (CA). In vitro cell proliferation test was made by seeding embryonic fibroblast cell line (3T3) onto the electrospun mats and in vivo studies in a murine model were conducted to prove its effectivity as skin wound healing material. The in vitro studies showed that aminated nanofibers without and with EGF had 100 and 150% more cell proliferation of 3T3 cells against the PCL alone, respectively. In vivo results showed that skin wound healing in a murine model was accelerated by the incorporation of the EGF. In addition, the EGF had favorable effects in epidermal cell proliferation. The study demonstrates that a protein of high biological interest like EGF can be attached covalently to the surface of a synthetic material enriched with amino groups. This kind of biomaterial has a great potential for applications in skin regeneration and wound healing.

Electrospun Fibres of Chitosan/PVP for the Effective Chemotherapeutic Drug Delivery of 5-Fluorouracil. CHEMOSENSORS 2021.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofibrous mats consisting of chitosan (CS) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were constructed. Tuning of solution and process parameters was performed and resulted in an electrospun system containing a 6:4 ratio of PVP:CS. This is a significant increase in the proportion of spun CS on the previously reported highest ratio PVP:CS blend. SEM analysis showed that the nanofibrous mats with 4 wt% CS/6 wt% PVP (sample E) comprised homogenous, uniform fibres with an average diameter of 0.569 μm. XPS analysis showed that the surface of the samples consisted of PVP. Raman and FTIR analysis revealed intermolecular interactions (via H-bonding) between PVP and CS. In FTIR spectra, the contribution of chitosan to CS/PVP complexes was shown by the downshift of the C=O band and by the linear increase in intensity of C-O stretching in CS. XPS analysis showed a smaller shift at the binding energy 531 eV, which relates to the amide of the acetylated functional groups. The obtained results demonstrate a sensitivity of Raman and FTIR tests to the presence of chitosan in PVP:CS blend. The chemotherapy drug 5-Fu was incorporated into the constructs and cell viability studies were performed. WST-8 viability assay showed that exposure of A549 human alveolar basal epithelial cells to 10 mg/mL 5-Fu loaded fibres was most effective at killing cells over 24 h. On the other hand, the constructs with loading of 1 mg/mL of drug were not efficient at killing A549 human alveolar basal epithelial cells. This study showed that CS/PVP/5-Fu constructs have potential in chemotherapeutic drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Our objective in this work was to summarize the main results obtained in processing pure chitosan and chitosan/hyaluronan complex in view of biomedical applications, taking advantage of their original properties. In addition, an electrospinning technique was selected to prepare nanofiber mats well adapted for tissue engineering in relation to the large porosity of the materials, allowing an exchange with the environment. The optimum conditions for preparation of purified and stable nanofibers in aqueous solution and phosphate buffer pH = 7.4 are described. Their mechanical properties and degree of swelling are given. Then, the prepared biomaterials are investigated to test their advantage for chondrocyte development after comparison of nanofiber mats and uniform films. For that purpose, the adhesion of cells is studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) using single-cell force spectroscopy, showing the good adhesion of chondrocytes on chitosan. At the end, adhesion and proliferation of chondrocytes in vitro are examined and clearly show the interest of chitosan nanofiber mats compared to chitosan film for potential application in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Site-Specific release of active molecules with antimicrobial activity spurred the interest in the development of innovative polymeric nanocarriers. In the preparation of polymeric devices, nanotechnologies usually overcome the inconvenience frequently related to other synthetic strategies. High performing nanocarriers were synthesized using a wide range of starting polymer structures, with tailored features and great chemical versatility. Over the last decade, many antimicrobial substances originating from plants, herbs, and agro-food waste by-products were deeply investigated, significantly catching the interest of the scientific community. In this review, the most innovative strategies to synthesize nanodevices able to release antimicrobial natural extracts were discussed. In this regard, the properties and structure of the starting polymers, either synthetic or natural, as well as the antimicrobial activity of the biomolecules were deeply investigated, outlining the right combination able to inhibit pathogens in specific biological compartments.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS) nanosystems have potential applications for the control of microorganisms in the medical, environmental, and agrifood fields. In vivo and in vitro assays of CS nanosystems have experienced increased activity due to improved physicochemical properties, biological activity, and reactivity. Hence, it is important to determine whether their application involves toxicological risks. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mutagenic, cytotoxic, phytotoxic, and in vivo antifungal activity of chitosan-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid nanobiocomposites (CS-PCA). The CS-PCA nanoparticles were synthesized by means of the nanoprecipitation technique with a size and ζ-potential of 502 ± 72 nm and + 54.7 ± 15.0 mV, respectively. According to the Ames test, no evidence of mutagenic activity was observed in Salmonella typhimurium strains. The cytotoxic assay showed that the incorporation of PCA into the CS matrix increased the toxic effect on ARPE-19 cells. However, fluorescence microscopy of ARPE-19 cells did not reveal morphostructural changes allusive to cell injury. CS-PCA exhibited strong phytotoxicity on lettuce seeds and the complete inhibition of seed development. The antifungal assay demonstrated that the CS-PCA delayed Aspergillus niger infection in tomato fruit until day 3; however, its use for the pre-treatment of seeds might exert adverse effects on plant development.

Abstract
This paper describes the preparation, characterization, and evaluation of honey/tripolyphosphate (TPP)/chitosan (HTCs) nanofibers loaded with capsaicin derived from the natural extract of hot pepper (Capsicum annuumL.) and loaded with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as biocompatible antimicrobial nanofibrous wound bandages in topical skin treatments. The capsaicin and AuNPs were packed within HTCs in HTCs-capsaicin, HTCs-AuNP, and HTCs-AuNPs/capsaicin nanofibrous mats. In vitro antibacterial testing against Pasteurella multocida, Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis,Staphylococcus pyogenes, and Vibrio vulnificus was conducted in comparison with difloxacin and chloramphenicol antibiotics. Cell viability and proliferation of the developed nanofibers were evaluated using an MTT assay. Finally, in vivo study of the wound-closure process was performed on New Zealand white rabbits. The results indicate that HTCs-capsaicin and HTCs-AuNPs are suitable in inhibiting bacterial growth compared with HTCs and HTCs-capsaicin/AuNP nanofibers and antibiotics (P < 0.01). The MTT assay demonstrates that the nanofibrous mats increased cell proliferation compared with the untreated control (P < 0.01). In vivo results show that the developed mats enhanced the wound-closure rate more effectively than the control samples. The novel nanofibrous wound dressings provide a relatively rapid and efficacious wound-healing ability, making the obtained nanofibers promising candidates for the development of improved bandage materials.

Abstract
An impedimetric single-shot assay is described for the determination of the proteinic breast cancer marker MUC1. The surface of a glassy carbon electrode was modified with core-shell nanofibers, multi-walled carbon nanotubes and gold nanoparticles that were covalently modified with the MUC1-binding aptamer. Detection is based on the change of the resistance of the electrode surface as measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy using hexacyanoferrate(II/III) as an electrochemical probe in working potential is 0.25 V. Scanning electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry were also applied to characterize the electrode. The analytical response ranges from 5 to 115 nM of MUC1, with a detection limit of 2.7 nM. The assay was successfully applied to MUC1 determination in spiked serum samples where it gave satisfactory results. Graphical abstractAn impedimetric nanoprobe for the tumor marker MUC1 is proposed. It is based on use of electrospun honey core-shell nanofibers. The nanoprobe exhibits excellent sensitivity, good stability and a low detection limit.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The main goal in the management of chronic wounds is the development of multifunctional dressings able to promote a rapid recovery of skin structure and function, improving patient compliance. AREAS COVERED This review discusses the use of nanosystems, based on hyaluronic acid and chitosan or their derivatives for the local treatment of chronic wounds. The bioactive properties of both polysaccharides will be described, as well as the results obtained in the last decade by the in vitro and in vivo evaluation of the wound healing properties of nanosystems based on such polymers. EXPERT OPINION In the last decades, there has been a progressive change in the local treatments of chronic wounds: traditional inert dressings have been replaced by more effective bioactive ones, based on biopolymers taking part in wound healing and able to release the loaded active agents in a controlled way. With the advance of nanotechnologies, the scenario has further changed: nanosystems, characterized by a large area-to-volume ratio, show an improved interaction with the biological substrates, amplifying the activity of the constituent biopolymers. In the coming years, a deeper insight into wound healing mechanisms and the development of new techniques for nanosystem manufacturing will results in the design of new scaffolds with improved performance.

Abstract
Derived from chitin, chitosan is a natural polycationic linear polysaccharide being the second
most abundant polymer next to cellulose. The main obstacle in the wide use of chitosan is its almost
complete lack of solubility in water and alkaline solutions. To break this obstacle, the structure of
chitosan is subjected to modification, improving its physic-chemical properties and facilitating application
as components of composites or hydrogels. Derivatives of chitosan are biomaterials useful for different
purposes because of their lack of toxicity, low allergenicity, biocompatibility and biodegradability.
This review presents the methods of chemical modifications of chitosan which allow to obtain tailor-
made properties required for a variety of biomedical applications. Selected pharmaceutical and
biomedical applications of chitosan derivatives are also highlighted. Possibility to manage waste from
arthropod and crab processing is also emphasized.

Abstract
Infections, especially those caused by multi-drug resistant pathogens, result in serious problems in wound healing process. In this study, Zataria multiflora (ZM) essential oil, as a strong natural antimicrobial agent, is incorporated into poly (vinyl alcohol)-based nanofiber mats to fabricate a novel wound dressing. Different amounts of ZM essential oil (0, 2, 5 and 10% (v/v)) were incorporated into chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol)/gelatin (CS/PVA/Gel) solutions and then were successfully electrospun into beadless and uniform fibers with 95 ± 14, 154 ± 27, 187 ± 40 and 218 ± 58 nm in diameters, respectively. The produced nanofiber mats (CS/PVA/Gel/ZM) were chemically crosslinked by glutaraldehyde vapor. The chemical compositions of ZM essential oil and nanofiber mats were analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The antimicrobial activity of the CS/PVA/Gel/ZM nanofiber mats was determined by the AATCC100 method. The nanofiber mat loaded with 10% of ZM essential oil completely inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans after 24 h of incubation. Swelling investigations showed that the produced nanofibers have a substantial ability to take up water, in the range of 400-900%. Mechanical properties of the nanofiber mats were studied by tensile testing. Furthermore, they were found to be non-toxic by biocompatibility assays on mouse fibroblast (L929) cells. The obtained results have demonstrated that CS/PVA/Gel nanofiber mats, loaded with ZM essential oil, are promising alternatives to conventional wound dressings.

Abstract
This study purpose was to evaluate the in vitro inhibitory properties of Italian acacia honey extracts against pathogenic aquatic oomycete/fungal isolates that cause different diseases in crayfish, resulting in an elevated mortality rate. The antimycotic activity of acacia honey aqueous extracts was evaluated against the strain UEF88662 of Aphanomyces astaci (oomycete) and the strain SMM2 of Fusarium avenaceum (fungus). The extracts preparation was carried out with water by a cheap, not complex and organic solvent-free procedure, with low environmental impact and the higher possibility of large-scale reproducibility. The anti-oomycete and antifungal activities were quantitatively evaluated by growth, survival and sporulation microbiological assays. The extracts displayed a dose-dependent inhibitory efficacy on oomycete and fungal growth and survival, as well as on the production of oomycete and fungal spores. Supported by future in vivo studies, our results encourage the use of natural extracts like honey as innovative tools to counteract mycotic infections. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The continuous spread of aquatic fungal disease as the 'crayfish plague' and the 'burn spot disease' has severe ecological and commercial repercussions. Critical factor to prevent further spread is the availability of effective antifungals possibility derived from local natural resources to use in innovative strategies of control and eradication of these diseases. This study provides relevant information about the in vitro anti-oomycete and antifungal activity of Italian acacia honey aqueous extracts against two highly infectious and dangerous pathogenic species, Aphanomyces astaci and Fusarium avenaceum, that are responsible for important crayfish diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Novel pectin-honey hydrogels have been developed and characterized as medical device. Ideally, a wound dressing should maintain optimal fluid affinity, permit moisture evaporation, protect the wound from microbes, and have shape-conformability, biocompatibility, and antibacterial activity. OBJECTIVE A novel, simple and fast method to produce pectin-honey wound dressings is described. METHODS The properties of these pectin-honey hydrogels were investigated, including swelling ability, water vapour transmission rate, hydrogen peroxide production, methylglyoxal content and antibacterial activity. Biocompatibility was assessed by proliferation assays using cultured fibroblast cells and by in vivo study with subcutaneous and intraperitoneal implantation in rats. RESULTS Hydrogel showed a good water vapour transmission rate, fluid uptake and were not cytotoxic for fibroblasts. The hydrogel demonstrated good antibacterial activity toward clinically relevant pathogens, including S. aureus and E. coli. Biocompatibility was confirmed by the measurement of plasma levels of interleukin (IL)1 beta, IL-6, tumour necrosis factor (TNF) alpha, and prostaglandin (PG)E2. No histological changes were observed. CONCLUSIONS The presence of a natural active component, conformability, and complete resorbability are the main characteristics of this new biocompatible biomaterial that is well tolerated by the body, possibly improves healing, may be used for surgical complications prevention, with a simple and inexpensive production process.

Abstract
Core-sheath nanofibrous mat as a new vitamin E (VE) delivery system based on silk fibroin (SF)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/aloe vera (AV) was successfully prepared by the electrospinning method. Initially, VE-loaded starch nanoparticles were produced and then incorporated into the best beadless SF-PVA-AV nanofibers. The successful loading of VE in starch nanoparticles was proved by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy indicated that spherical nanoparticles were successfully embedded within the nanofibers. In vitro release studies demonstrated that the release of VE was controlled by Fickian diffusion and was faster in samples containing more nanoparticles. Fibroblast attachment, proliferation, and collagen secretion were enhanced after adding AV and VE to the SF-PVA nanomatrix. Moreover, the incorporation of VE into the nanocomposite dressing enhanced antioxidant activity, which can have a positive effect on wound healing process by protecting the cells from toxic oxidation products.

Chitosan-based nanosystems and their exploited antimicrobial activity. Eur J Pharm Sci 2018; 117:8-20. [PMID: 29408419 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2018.01.046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 147] [Impact Index Per Article: 24.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2017] [Revised: 01/15/2018] [Accepted: 01/31/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Chitosan is a biodegradable and biocompatible natural polysaccharide that has a wide range of applications in the field of pharmaceutics, biomedical, chemical, cosmetics, textile and food industry. One of the most interesting characteristics of chitosan is its antibacterial and antifungal activity, and together with its excellent safety profile in human, it has attracted considerable attention in various research disciplines. The antimicrobial activity of chitosan is dependent on a number of factors, including its molecular weight, degree of deacetylation, degree of substitution, physical form, as well as structural properties of the cell wall of the target microorganisms. While the sole use of chitosan may not be sufficient to produce an adequate antimicrobial effect to fulfil different purposes, the incorporation of this biopolymer with other active substances such as drugs, metals and natural compounds in nanosystems is a commonly employed strategy to enhance its antimicrobial potential. In this review, we aim to provide an overview on the different approaches that exploit the antimicrobial activity of chitosan-based nanosystems and their applications, and highlight the latest advances in this field.
