Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 257:128767. [PMID: 38091681 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128767] [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: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
In this study, the utilization of mangosteen and durian peel wastes as bio-filler and natural pigment in biopolymer of polybutyrate adipate terephthalate (PBAT) were examined. The related research work of hybridization of both mangosteen and durian peels reinforced in biopolymer as cellulose-based bio fillers and natural pigment is rarely studied. The content variation of mangosteen powder and durian powder ranged from 0 to 30 wt% with an increment of 10. The influence of mangosteen and durian powders reinforced in PBAT on color change, morphological, chemical composition, mechanical, thermal, and rheological properties were determined. Mangosteen peel and durian peel provided dark appearance for the green composites without pre-burn of these fruit peels. It can be concluded that mangosteen peel and durian peel can be used as bio pigment and natural reinforcement material in biopolymer matrix which can reduce massive waste of mangosteen and durian peel and add value to these wastes. These black biopolymer composites can be used in applications of eco-friendly food packaging and medicine zipper packaging. The overall mechanical properties, thermal stability, and dark color of mangosteen/PBAT composites were greater than those of durian/PBAT composites. However, durian/PBAT composites presented greater thermal and rheological properties than mangosteen/PBAT composites.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sprayable hydrogel formulations are promising topical treatments for skin wounds due to their ability to reduce application pain, prolong drug release, and provide moisture to promote skin healing. These viscoelastic materials, however, present challenges in spray ability which can be overcome using a thermoreversible hydrogels sprayed as lower viscosity liquids at cooler temperatures. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the impact of thermoreversible hydrogel formulation and device characteristics on topical spray patterns and to develop metrics to accurately describe surface coverage. METHODS Cold solutions of Pluronic F127 were prepared at 15, 17, and 20% (w/w) and tested to determine their rheological properties. Formulations were sprayed from hand-held atomizing pump dispersers under cold conditions and two distinct areas of their spray patterns analyzed: the concentrated core and the full spray pattern. Traditional analysis of spray patterns was conducted to determine major and minor axes, ovality, and total area. In addition, new scripts were developed to evaluate the concentrated core. RESULTS The full spray pattern analysis quantified the total area over which the spray would extend a flat surface, while the concentrated core analysis quantified the continuous region where a drug dose would be concentrated. The combination of formulation viscosity, sprayer nozzle, and spray distance produced spray patterns from highly concentrated to highly dispersed. These parameters can be controlled to generate desired hydrogel spray patterns for application on skin surfaces. CONCLUSION The developed metrics provide a basis for topical spray analysis that can inform future product performance.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex and dynamic cellular process to restore tissue function. Current treatments for chronic wounds especially diabetic ulcers are expensive, with adverse effects. Recently, numerous researchers have focused on the potential effect of natural products on wound healing. One of them is mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana Linn). It is a well-known tropical fruit that is native to Southeast Asia. The active ingredient of mangosteen pericarp contains xanthones that exhibit a wide range of pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties which are the core elements needed in wound healing. Firstly, this review discusses the concepts of abnormal and normal wound healing mechanisms. Then an in depth observation of the pharmacological activities of mangosteen and its derivatives was presented to study their potentially beneficial applications in the treatment of chronic wound healing which is a contemporary medical issue.

Abstract
A spray-on wound dressing has many benefits, including easy and quick administration to broad and uneven wounds, better interface with the wound site, adhesion without additional dressing, and multiple applications in a portable package. By limiting direct contact with the wound site, such a design can prevent wound damage during treatment. This study revealed a simple, one-pot synthesis of spray-on wound dressing relying on polyvinylpyrrolidone solution incorporating silver nanoparticles as a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent and wound-healing antioxidant Phyllanthus emblica extract. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized in situ using Phyllanthus emblica extract as a biogenic reducing agent. Polyvinylpyrrolidone was employed as a film-forming agent to create an adhesive hydrogel-based dressing matrix to provide moisture and establish a shielding barrier for the wound bed as well as to regulate the release of fruit extract. In vitro tests revealed that the produced dressing film had a controlled release of the fruit extract, high antioxidant activity, and a good antibacterial action against S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, E. coli, and MRSA. Additionally, a biocompatibility study has shown that both human fibroblasts and keratinocytes are unaffected by the dressing film. Based on established findings, the current spray-on solution might be a potential option for antibacterial wound dressing.

Topical Film-Forming Chlorhexidine Gluconate Sprays for Antiseptic Application. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14061124.

Abstract
Topical film-forming sprays of chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG-FFS) were developed for antiseptic application. Various polymers and solvents were studied for their potential as film-forming polymers and solvent systems, respectively. To produce CHG-FFS, the optimal polymer and solvent were selected, and their physicochemical properties were evaluated. The in vivo evaluation of CHG-FFS was investigated for the satisfaction of the dosage forms, time required for the film formation, film appearance, and adhesion on the skin. Antibacterial activity was also studied in vitro and in vivo. The optimized formulation was assessed for the in vitro cell line evaluations of the cytotoxicity and wound healing. The results demonstrate that Eudragit® S100, Eudragit® L100, and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) have the ability to be used as film-forming polymers in an ethanolic solution. A clear and flexible film was obtained from transparent homogenous solutions of CHG-FFS after actuation. They generated the fast thin film formation on the skin with the satisfaction of the dosage forms. Furthermore, the formulations inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus in vitro and provided antiseptic activity in vivo. However, PVA was found to be an optimal film-forming polymer for promoting CHG adhesion on the skin. The CHG-FFS obtained from the PVA also provided a CHG film, which was non-toxic to human skin cells and did not interfere with the wound healing process. Therefore, the developed CHG-FFS could be a promising candidate for topical antiseptic application.

Abstract
To further understand the characteristics of Ag+ antimicrobial dressings and its application value in the prevention and treatment of infections in burn patients, in the study, the Ag+ gel dressings were prepared and their physical and chemical characteristics
were analyzed, and relationship between the gel dressing and central venous catheter (CVC)-related infections was further explored. The results showed that silver nitrate was made into nano silver particles, and its structure was clearly visible under microscope, and nano silver was further
applied to preparation of Ag+ antibacterial dressings. Fibrocytes were clearly visible in Ag+ gel dressing and arranged uniformly, which indicated that Ag+ gel dressing had good compatibility with biological materials and had no obvious toxicity. Further clinical
trials showed that Ag+ gel dressing can effectively reduce CVC-related infections. From 1 to 4 weeks of the experiment, the bacterial infection rate in burn wounds and blood of the treatment group (TG), which applied Ag+ gel dressing, was lower than the control group
(P < 0.05). During the treatment, the burn healing rate of the TG was also greatly higher than the control group (P < 0.05). In addition, the burn wound exudate in the TG was greatly less than the control group (P < 0.05). In summary, the Ag+ gel dressing
prepared has good biological and physical and chemical properties, which have bright prospects in the prevention and treatment of burn wounds and CVC-related infections. This study provides an experimental basis for clinical application of Ag+ gel dressing.

Abstract
The impact of different amounts of glycerin, which was used in the system of sodium alginate/poly(vinyl alcohol) (SA/PVA) hydrogel materials on the properties, such as gel fraction, swelling ability, degradation in simulated body fluids, morphological analysis, and elongation tests were presented. The study shows a significant decrease in the gel fraction from 80.5 ± 2.1% to 45.0 ± 1.2% with the increase of glycerin content. The T5 values of the tested hydrogels were varied and range from 88.7 °C to 161.5 °C. The presence of glycerin in the matrices significantly decreased the thermal resistance, which was especially visible by T10 changes (273.9 to 163.5 °C). The degradation tests indicate that most of the tested materials do not degrade throughout the incubation period and maintain a constant ion level after 7-day incubation. The swelling abilities in distilled water and phosphate buffer solution are approximately 200-300%. However, we noticed that these values decrease with the increase in glycerin content. All tested matrices are characterized by the maximum elongation rate at break in a range of 37.6-69.5%. The FT-IR analysis exhibits glycerin changes in hydrogel structures, which is associated with the cross-linking reaction. Additionally, cytotoxicity results indicate good adhesion properties and no toxicity towards normal human dermal fibroblasts.

Abstract
Wound is defined as any injury to the body such as damage to the epidermis of the skin and disturbance to its normal anatomy and function. Since ancient times, the importance of wound healing has been recognized, and many efforts have been made to develop novel wound dressings made of the best material for rapid and effective wound healing. Medicinal plants play a great role in the wound healing process. In recent decades, many studies have focused on the development of novel wound dressings that incorporate medicinal plant extracts or their purified active compounds, which are potential alternatives to conventional wound dressings. Several studies have also investigated the mechanism of action of various herbal medicines in wound healing process. This paper attempts to highlight and review the mechanistic perspective of wound healing mediated by plant-based natural products. The findings showed that herbal medicines act through multiple mechanisms and are involved in various stages of wound healing. Some herbal medicines increase the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) which play important role in stimulation of re-epithelialization, angiogenesis, formation of granulation tissue, and collagen fiber deposition. Some other wound dressing containing herbal medicines act as inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein expression thereby inducing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in various phases of the wound healing process. Besides the growing public interest in traditional and alternative medicine, the use of herbal medicine and natural products for wound healing has many advantages over conventional medicines, including greater effectiveness due to diverse mechanisms of action, antibacterial activity, and safety in long-term wound dressing usage.

Abstract
Natural polymeric nanofibers-based materials for medical application is an intensive research area due to the unique features of natural polymeric nanofibers. Bacterial nanocellulose (BC) films containing various concentrations of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) peel extract were prepared and evaluated as a multifunctional nanofiber film. The extract was absorbed into BC hydrogel and air dried to entrap the extract into nanofiber network. The resulting films contained about 3, 35, and 294 mg of total phenolic compounds and 2, 24, and 250 mg of α-mangostin per cm3 of the dried films. The film containing the highest phenolic compounds and α-mangostin performed the inhibitory effect to Staphylococcus epidermidis, Propionibacterium acnes, and Staphylococcus aureus. High anticancer activity against B16F10 melanoma and MCF-7 breast cancer cells having viabilities of 10 and 5%, respectively after 48 h were detected after the treatments with the film. However, the film had a low toxicity against normal fibroblast and keratinocyte cells with 41 and 99% viability, respectively. The research suggested that the prepared films were a multifunctional nanofiber films with antimicrobial and anticancer properties.

Abstract
The epidermal skin barrier protects the body from a host of daily challenges, providing protection against mechanical insults and the absorption of chemicals and xenobiotics. In addition to the physical barrier, the epidermis also presents an innate defense against microbial overgrowth. This is achieved through the presence of a diverse collection of microorganisms on the skin (the "microbiota") that maintain a delicate balance with the host and play a significant role in overall human health. When the skin is wounded, the local tissue with a compromised barrier can become colonized and ultimately infected if bacterial growth overcomes the host response. Wound infections present an immense burden in healthcare costs and decreased quality of life for patients, and treatment becomes increasingly important because of the negative impact that infection has on slowing the rate of wound healing. In this review, we discuss specific challenges of treating wound infections and the advances in drug delivery platforms and formulations that are under development to improve topical delivery of antimicrobial treatments.
