Abstract
Aim: Design of moxifloxacin and ornidazole co-loaded polycaprolactone and gelatin nanofiber dressing for diabetic wounds. Materials & methods: The composite nanofibers were prepared using electrospinning technique and characterized for in vitro drug release, antibacterial activity, laser doppler and in vivo wound healing. Results: The optimized nanofiber demonstrated an interconnected bead free nanofiber with average diameter <200 nm. The in vitro drug release & antimicrobial studies revealed that optimized nanofiber provided drug release for >120 h, thereby inhibiting growth of Escherichia coli and Stapyhlococcus aureus. An in vivo wound closure study on diabetic rats found that optimized nanofiber group had a significantly higher wound closure rate than marketed formulation. Conclusion: The nanofiber provided prolonged drug release and accelerated wound healing, making it a promising candidate for diabetic wound care.
期刊介绍:
Delivering therapeutics in a way that is right for the patient - safe, painless, reliable, targeted, efficient and cost effective - is the fundamental aim of scientists working in this area. Correspondingly, this evolving field has already yielded a diversity of delivery methods, including injectors, controlled release formulations, drug eluting implants and transdermal patches. Rapid technological advances and the desire to improve the efficacy and safety profile of existing medications by specific targeting to the site of action, combined with the drive to improve patient compliance, continue to fuel rapid research progress. Furthermore, the emergence of cell-based therapeutics and biopharmaceuticals such as proteins, peptides and nucleotides presents scientists with new and exciting challenges for the application of therapeutic delivery science and technology. Successful delivery strategies increasingly rely upon collaboration across a diversity of fields, including biology, chemistry, pharmacology, nanotechnology, physiology, materials science and engineering. Therapeutic Delivery recognizes the importance of this diverse research platform and encourages the publication of articles that reflect the highly interdisciplinary nature of the field. In a highly competitive industry, Therapeutic Delivery provides the busy researcher with a forum for the rapid publication of original research and critical reviews of all the latest relevant and significant developments, and focuses on how the technological, pharmacological, clinical and physiological aspects come together to successfully deliver modern therapeutics to patients. The journal delivers this essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats that are readily accessible to the full spectrum of therapeutic delivery researchers.
