Abstract
Rhodomyrtus tomentosa leaf (RT)-incorporated transferosomes were developed with lecithin and cholesterol blends with edge activators at different ratios. RT-transferosomes were characterized and employed in transferosomal gel formulations for the management of skin and soft-tissue infections. The optimized formulation entrapped up to 81.90 ± 0.31% of RT with spherical vesicles (405.3 ± 2.0 nm), polydispersity index value of 0.16 ± 0.08, and zeta potential of - 61.62 ± 0.86 mV. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents of RT-transferosomes were 15.65 ± 0.04 μg GAE/g extract and 43.13 ± 0.91 μg QE/g extract, respectively. RT-transferosomes demonstrated minimum inhibitory and minimum bactericidal concentrations at 8-256 and 64-1024 μg/mL, respectively. Free radical scavenging assay showed RT-transferosomes with high scavenging activity against DPPH and ABTS radicals. Moreover, RT-transferosomes demonstrated moderate activity against mushroom tyrosinase, with IC50 values of 245.32 ± 1.32 μg/mL. The biocompatibility results against L929 fibroblast and Vero cells demonstrated IC50 at 7.05 ± 0.17 and 4.73 ± 0.13 μg/mL, respectively. In addition, nitric oxide production significantly decreased by 6.78-88.25% following the treatment with 31.2-500 ng/mL RT-transferosomes (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the freeze-thaw stability study displayed no significant change in stability in the sedimentation and pH of gel fortified with RT-transferosomes. The results suggested that RT-transferosome formulation can be effectively employed as natural biomedicines for scar prevention and the management of skin soft-tissue infections.
期刊介绍：
Biotechnology Letters is the world’s leading rapid-publication primary journal dedicated to biotechnology as a whole – that is to topics relating to actual or potential applications of biological reactions affected by microbial, plant or animal cells and biocatalysts derived from them.
All relevant aspects of molecular biology, genetics and cell biochemistry, of process and reactor design, of pre- and post-treatment steps, and of manufacturing or service operations are therefore included.
Contributions from industrial and academic laboratories are equally welcome. We also welcome contributions covering biotechnological aspects of regenerative medicine and biomaterials and also cancer biotechnology. Criteria for the acceptance of papers relate to our aim of publishing useful and informative results that will be of value to other workers in related fields.
The emphasis is very much on novelty and immediacy in order to justify rapid publication of authors’ results. It should be noted, however, that we do not normally publish papers (but this is not absolute) that deal with unidentified consortia of microorganisms (e.g. as in activated sludge) as these results may not be easily reproducible in other laboratories.
Papers describing the isolation and identification of microorganisms are not regarded as appropriate but such information can be appended as supporting information to a paper. Papers dealing with simple process development are usually considered to lack sufficient novelty or interest to warrant publication.
