Abstract
Melastoma dodecandrum Lour. is a plant with a rapid hemostatic effect that is mainly distributed in Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, and other provinces in China. In this study, we prepared a new rapid hemostatic wound dressing using Melastoma dodecandrum Lour. extract (MDLE). Nanofiber membranes (PVA/CS/MDLE) consisting of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), chitosan (CS), and different doses of MDLE were prepared using an electrospinning method. Then, each group of nanofiber membranes was characterized using SEM, FTIR, and XRD. The diameters of PVA/CS, PVA/CS/2.8 %-MDLE, PVA/CS/5.5 %-MDLE, and PVA/CS/8.2 %-MDLE were 207.2 ± 36.65 nm, 313.3 ± 68.14 nm, 350.0 ± 80.55 nm, and 371.1 ± 82.84 nm, respectively. PVA/CS/2.8 %-MDLE exhibited the greatest mechanical strength, while PVA/CS/5.5 %-MDLE exhibited the greatest elongation at break. PVA/CS/5.5 %-MDLE and PVA/CS/8.2 %-MDLE exhibited significant bacteriostatic effects and inhibited Staphylococcus aureus more effectively than Escherichia coli. The PVA/CS/8.2 %-MDLE group had a significant hemostatic effect (P < 0.001), and all groups exhibited hydrophilicity, swelling ratios, and low toxicity. As the drug concentration increased, the time required for hemostasis decreased. Overall, these findings demonstrated that the PVA/CS/MDLE has great potential as a wound dressing. To our knowledge, this is the first time that a functional nanofiber with rapid hemostasis has been successfully prepared using MDLE.
