Abstract
A biotin-coenzyme Q10-sodium alginate (BTN-CoQ10-SA) nanogel was developed for topical wound healing through combined antioxidant and regenerative delivery. The optimized nanogel showed a particle size of ∼115 nm, zeta potential of -35.1 mV, encapsulation efficiency of 88.3%, and sustained BTN release over 24 h. In a rat excisional wound model, the nanogel achieved 95.1% wound closure by day 14 and significantly outperformed the untreated control. Treatment also increased VEGF, collagen I, and TGF-β1 expression while reducing IL-6 levels. These findings demonstrate the potential of BTN-CoQ10-SA nanogels as a sustained topical system for promoting wound repair.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asian Natural Products Research (JANPR) publishes chemical and pharmaceutical studies in the English language in the field of natural product research on Asian ethnic medicine. The journal publishes work from scientists in Asian countries, e.g. China, Japan, Korea and India, including contributions from other countries concerning natural products of Asia. The journal is chemistry-orientated. Major fields covered are: isolation and structural elucidation of natural constituents (including those for non-medical uses), synthesis and transformation (including biosynthesis and biotransformation) of natural products, pharmacognosy, and allied topics. Biological evaluation of crude extracts are acceptable only as supporting data for pure isolates with well-characterized structures.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert referees.
