Bioactive Applications for Electrospun Fibers

Electrospinning is a versatile technique providing highly tunable nanofibrous nonwovens. Many biomedical applications have been developed for nanofibers, among which the production of antimicrobial mats stands out. The production of scaffolds for tissue engineering, fibers for controlled drug release, or active wound dressings are active fields of research exploiting the possibilities offered by electrospun materials. The fabrication of materials for active food packaging or membranes for environmental applications is also reviewed. We attempted to give an overview of the most recent literature related with applications in which nanofibers get in contact with living cells and develop a nano-bio interface.     

Antimicrobial and wound healing activities of electrospun nanofibers based on functionalized carbohydrates and proteins

The anti-adhesion, anti-growth and the anti-penetration of bacteria, specifically multidrug-resistant bacteria, should be taken into consideration when designing promising wound dressings for infected wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers. Wound dressings composed of natural polymeric nanofibers such as functionalized cellulose, chitosan, alginate, hyaluronic acid, dextrin and cyclodextrin with appropriate antimicrobial and skin reconstruction properties are suitable alternatives that can accelerate wound healing and remove microbial infections. For instance, to improve the release profile of antibacterial agents such as metal nanoparticles and antibiotics, water-soluble polymers like polyethylene oxide and polyvinylpyrrolidone may be incorporated into polymeric nanofiber scaffolds. This review, therefore, addresses the current status and future challenges of antibacterial activities of nanofiber scaffolds composed of some of the natural occurring polymers.

The gel swelling properties of alginate fibers and their applications in wound management

Calcium alginate fibers have a novel gel‐forming capability in that, upon the ion exchange between sodium ions in the contact solution and calcium ions in the fiber, the fiber slowly transforms into a fibrous gel. This paper reviews the principles of the gel‐forming process for alginate fibers and analyzed the gelling behavior of various types of alginate fibers. The absorption characteristics of alginate wound dressings were analyzed and it was found that alginate wound dressings absorb a large quantity of liquid into the fiber structure, in addition to those held between the fibers in the textile structure. This gives rise to the unique gel blocking properties of alginate wound dressings. In addition, alginate wound dressings also have novel hemostatic and antimicrobial properties as well as the ability to promote wound healing. They are now widely used in the management of highly exuding wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure sores, and surgical wounds. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Preparation of Ag-loaded octahedral Bi2WO6 photocatalyst and its photocatalytic activity

In this work, an Ag-loaded octahedral Bi₂WO₆ photocatalyst has been successfully prepared by the hydrothermal method and photo deposition method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDX), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and ultra-violet adsorption spectrum (UV-Vis) were employed for characterization of the composite photocatalyst. Furthermore, two different photocatalysts including the obtained Ag-loaded octahedral Bi₂WO₆ were employed here for photodegradation of model contaminated water of Orange II (OII). Results show that Ag-loaded Bi₂WO₆ photocatalyst exhibits superior photocatalytic properties compared to the undoped Bi₂WO₆. The reasons for improvement in photocatalytic activity of the Ag-loaded octahedral Bi₂WO₆ were also discussed.     

Antimicrobial porous hybrids consisting of bacterial nanocellulose and silver nanoparticles

The increasing resistance of pathogens and bacteria is a serious problem in the medical treatment of wounds and injuries. Therefore, new therapeutic agents are not solely based on antibiotics, but also on the use of antimicrobial metal nanoparticles. In this paper we present an innovative method to prepare porous hybrids consisting of bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The stepwise modification is based on fairly simple chemical reactions already described for two-dimensional cellulose films. We transferred this method to the three-dimensional, porous network of BNC leading to an antimicrobial activation of its surface. Compared to former approaches, the ultrafine network structure of BNC is less damaged by using mild chemicals. The amount and distribution of the AgNPs on the modified BNC was investigated using scanning electron microscopy. The AgNPs are firmly immobilized on the top and bottom surface of the BNC by chemical interactions. Their size and quantity increase with an increasing concentration of AgNO₃ and extended reaction time in the AgNO₃ solution. A strong antimicrobial activity of the BNC-AgNP hybrids against Escherichia coli was detected. Furthermore, agar diffusion tests confirmed that this activity is restricted to the modified dressing itself, avoiding a release of NPs into the wound. Therefore, the produced hybrids could be potentially suited as novel antimicrobial wound dressings.     

In vitro and in vivo evaluation of chitosan-alginate/gentamicin wound dressing nanofibrous with high antibacterial performance

Wound dressings based on nanofiber polymer scaffolds with good antimicrobial performance and skin reconstruction ability are promising options to thwart wound infection and accelerate wound healing. This paper reports on the synthesis via electrospinning of chitosan-alginate (CS-Alg) nanofiber dressings with various amounts of gentamicin (Gn; 0–10 wt%) as a drug delivery system. Smooth and continuous nanofibers with no obvious beads were created, with increases in the amount of Gn resulting in reduced fiber diameter. Antimicrobial tests showed the Gn-loaded nanofibers had good antibacterial performance as indicated by the inhibition of bacterial growth. CS-Alg nanofibers loaded with higher Gn concentrations exhibited greater antibacterial performance than those with lower Gn concentrations. In vitro cell culture studies demonstrated that CS-Alg wound dressings with 1–3% Gn improved L929 cell attachment and proliferation more than wound dressings with higher Gn concentrations. In vivo experiments revealed that Cs-Alg nanofibers loaded with 3% Gn significantly enhanced skin regeneration in a Balb/C mice model by stimulating the formation of a thicker dermis, increasing collagen deposition, and increasing the formation of new blood vessels and hair follicles. Collectively, Gn-loaded CS-Alg wound dressings can be considered a good candidate for drug delivery systems and skin regeneration applications.     

An Injectable System for Local and Sustained Release of Antimicrobial Agents in the Periodontal Pocket

Periodontitis treatments usually require local administration of antimicrobial drugs with the aim to reduce the bacterial load inside the periodontal pocket. Effective pharmaceutical treatments may require sustained local drug release for several days in the site of interest. Currently available solutions are still not able to fulfill the clinical need for high‐quality treatments, mainly in terms of release profiles and patients' comfort. This work aims to fill this gap through the development of an in situ gelling system, capable to achieve controlled and sustained release of antimicrobial agents for medium‐to‐long‐term treatments. The system is composed of micrometer‐sized β‐cyclodextrin‐based hydrogel (bCD‐Jef‐MPs), featured by a strong hydrophilic character, suspended in a synthetic block‐co‐polymer solution (Poloxamer 407), which is capable to undergo rapid thermally induced sol–gel phase transition at body temperature. The chemical structure of bCD‐Jef‐MPs was confirmed by cross‐correlating data from Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, swelling test, and degradation kinetics. The thermally induced sol–gel phase transition is demonstrated by rheometric tests. The effectiveness of the described system to achieve sustained release of antimicrobial agents is demonstrated in vitro, using chlorhexidine digluconate as a drug model. The results achieved in this work disclose the potential of the mentioned system in effectively treating periodontitis lesions.

     

Application of micellar electrokinetic chromatography for detection of silver nanoparticles released from wound dressing

The recent emergence of nanotechnology has provided a new therapeutic modality in case of silver nanoparticles. Dressings containing silver form the basis for the treatment of burns and wounds, either acute or chronic ones. The aim of the study was to examine silver release from the different wound dressings: commercially available (Atrauman Ag, Aquacel Ag) and experimental (FKDP‐AgNPs) using MEKC. In order to characterize prepared keratin based wound dressing before and after its modification with AgNPs, a compositional analysis was conducted using energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy. Nanosilver toxicity was evaluated with the 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐5‐(3‐carboxymethoxyphenyl)‐2‐(4 sulfophenyl)‐2H‐tetrazolium test. Silver release from wound dressings was assessed using MEKC. The best separation was observed for MEKC in 20 mM borate buffer at pH 9 with 20 mM SDS addition. In vitro studies showed silver at higher concentration than 10 ppm exerted a toxic effect on fibroblasts isolated from diabetic mice versus. NIH/3T3 and BJ cell lines (p < 0.05). We observed silver was released more gradually from experimental FKDP‐AgNPs wound dressing, in compare to commercially available wound dressings. The fast and low‐cost method utilizing MEKC can be used in clinical practice to detect silver release from the wound dressings.     

Polypeptidic Micelles Stabilized with Sodium Alginate Enhance the Activity of Encapsulated Bedaquiline

The coating of polypeptidic micelles with sodium alginate is described as a strategy to improve the stability of micelles for drug delivery. Bedaquiline, approved in 2012 for the treatment of multidrug resistant tuberculosis, has been used as an example of hydrophobic drug to study the loading efficiency, the release of the encapsulated drug in different media, and the in vitro antimicrobial activity of the system. Alginate coating prevents the burst release of the drug from micelles upon dilution and leads to a sustained release in all tested media. In view of possible oral administration, the alginate coated micelles show better stability in gastric and intestinal simulated media. Notably, the encapsulated bedaquiline shows increased in vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis compared to free bedaquiline.
