静电纺丝PLGA/SF/青蒿素复合纳米纤维膜用于伤口敷料的研究

Abstract

Combining biodegradable materials with natural plant components for wound dressing has been receiving significant attention. ART is a sesquiterpene lactone compound extracted from Artemisia annua L., possessing multiple pharmacological effects including antibacterial activity and anti-inflammatory property. Herein, the blended polylactic acid glycolic acid (PLGA)/silk fibroin (SF) membranes loaded with artemisinin (ART) are fabricated through electrospinning. With aid of SF, the fabricated membranes have a good sustained-release effect, and the accumulated ART release can reach 69% after three weeks. PLGA/SF/ART membranes exhibit favorable anti-inflammatory and cell compatibility in vitro evaluations. The in vivo experiment indicates that PLGA/SF/ART2 membranes can shorten the inflammation period and enhance skin regeneration in a full-thickness wound model through down-regulating the expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α. To sum up, the fabricated PLGA/SF/ART2 composite membranes with anti-inflammatory properties can be a proposal wound dressing for chronic wound healing.
