The unexplored anti‐inflammatory and wound‐scratching assay of 3‐hydroxy‐2‐(2,5‐dimethoxyphenyl)‐4H‐chromen‐4‐one [3HF(B)] was reported for the first time with the subsequent transdermal drug delivery en route electrospun cellulose acetate nanofiber mat. The higher anti‐inflammatory activity of 3HF(B) was revealed by in vitro protein denaturation assay in comparison to Ibuprofen. The wound scratching assay on NIH3T3 cells disclosed the rapid wound healing potential of 3HF(B) in 18 h. The fabricated cellulose acetate nanofiber‘s drug encapsulation efficiency was 82.0±1.0 % whereas drug release ability was 91.29±0.3 % at pH 7.4. The initial rapid release of 37.82±1.3 % of the drug was found to be beneficial for quick recovery from the critical phase of symptoms. These results suggest that the cellulose acetate/3HF(B) composite nanofiber's suitability to be employed as a patch in the transdermal drug delivery system with synergetic anti‐inflammatory activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
