Antimicrobial electrospun nanofibers of cellulose acetate and polyester urethane composite for wound dressing

Abstract: In this study, a series of nanofibrous membranes were prepared from cellulose acetate (CA) and polyester urethane (PEU) using coelectrospinning or blend-electrospinning. The drug release, in vitro antimicrobial activity and in vivo wound healing performance of the nanofiber membranes were evaluated for use as wound dressings. To prevent common clinical infections, an antimicrobial agent, polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) was incorporated into the electrospun fibers. The presence of CA in the nanofiber membran… Show more

“…For pharmaceutical applications, electrospun polymer-based fibers have been investigated for providing different types of controlled drug release profiles, such as immediate, pulsatile, delayed, sustained, and biphasic releases (7)(8)(9)(10). Among them, sustained drug release is gaining considerable attention as a method of administering and maintaining desired drug concentrations in the blood within a specified therapeutic window, or in target tissues within a desired duration of drug delivery (11)(12)(13).…”

“…In fact, the high effectiveness has been related to a novel mechanism of action based on the interaction of PHMB with nucleic acids that led to co-precipitation. At low bacteriostatic concentrations, the damage caused by this interaction could be tolerable and the antibacterial effect would be due to disruption of the cell membrane, as usually expected [33]. However, because the binding between PHMB and DNA is highly cooperative, a slightly higher drug dose can cause massive perturbation of DNA function and/or precipitation leading to cell death.…”

“…wound dressing [230], porous matrices (scaffolds) for tissue engineering purposes, to support cells and promote their proliferation [231]. Multi-component, heterogeneous polymeric systems, blends [232]- [234], micro- [235] and nano-composites [236], play an important role addressing such complex expectations, as the properties of these can Table 6.…”
