Ciprofloxacin-Collagen Conjugate in the Wound Healing Treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The synthesis of a novel functional biomaterial for wound healing treatment was carried out by adopting a free-radical grafting procedure in aqueous media. With this aim, ciprofloxacin (CFX) was covalently incorporated into collagen (T1C) chains employing an ascorbic acid/hydrogen peroxide redox pair as biocompatible initiator system. The covalent insertion of CFX in the polymeric chains was confirmed by FT-IR and UV analyses, while an antibacterial assay demonstrated the activity of the synthesized conjugate against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, microorganisms that commonly infect wounds. A catechin blended conjugate was also tested in order to evaluate the ability to influence fibroblast cell growth. The observed antibacterial activity and stimulation of fibroblast growth support the applicability of CFX-T1C conjugate in wound treatment encouraging the healing process.

In the current study, a chemically modified collagen bilayer dressing with ciprofloxacin was prepared from type-I collagen. The modified collagen was reconstituted into a membrane and sponge and the drug Ciprofloxacin-HCl was incorporated and fabricated into a bilayer dressing. In vitro release pattern of the dressing was analysed in PBS which recorded release for 6 days. The efficacy of the dr...

Exogenous nitric oxide donors such as DETA NONOate, spontaneously release nitric oxide. This study aimed to investigate the effect of DETA NONOate as a nitric oxide releasing drug on the rate of collagen synthesis during the impaired wound healing in a rat model of diabetes. Twelve male Sprague–Dawley rats were transferred into separate metabolic cages. Nine days before wounding, the rats were ...
