Abstract
Aim: Using appropriate wound dressings is crucial when treating burn wounds to promote accelerated healing.Materials & methods: Sodium alginate (SA)-based gels containing Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and Pluronic F127 were prepared. The formulations. SA/CMC/Carbopol and SA/CMC/PluronicF127 were loaded with aqueous root extract of Capparis sepiaria. The formulations were characterized using appropriate techniques.Results: The gels' viscosity was in the range of 676.33 ± 121.76 to 20.00 ± 9.78 cP and in vitro whole blood kinetics showed their capability to induce a faster clotting rate. They also supported high cell viability of 80% with cellular migration and proliferation. Their antibacterial activity was significant against most bacteria strains used in the study.Conclusion: The gels' distinct features reveal their potential application as wound dressings for burn wounds.
期刊介绍:
Delivering therapeutics in a way that is right for the patient - safe, painless, reliable, targeted, efficient and cost effective - is the fundamental aim of scientists working in this area. Correspondingly, this evolving field has already yielded a diversity of delivery methods, including injectors, controlled release formulations, drug eluting implants and transdermal patches. Rapid technological advances and the desire to improve the efficacy and safety profile of existing medications by specific targeting to the site of action, combined with the drive to improve patient compliance, continue to fuel rapid research progress. Furthermore, the emergence of cell-based therapeutics and biopharmaceuticals such as proteins, peptides and nucleotides presents scientists with new and exciting challenges for the application of therapeutic delivery science and technology. Successful delivery strategies increasingly rely upon collaboration across a diversity of fields, including biology, chemistry, pharmacology, nanotechnology, physiology, materials science and engineering. Therapeutic Delivery recognizes the importance of this diverse research platform and encourages the publication of articles that reflect the highly interdisciplinary nature of the field. In a highly competitive industry, Therapeutic Delivery provides the busy researcher with a forum for the rapid publication of original research and critical reviews of all the latest relevant and significant developments, and focuses on how the technological, pharmacological, clinical and physiological aspects come together to successfully deliver modern therapeutics to patients. The journal delivers this essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats that are readily accessible to the full spectrum of therapeutic delivery researchers.
