MitoQ Loaded Chitosan-Hyaluronan Composite Membranes for Wound Healing

Abstract: Two self-associating biopolymers, namely chitosan (Ch) and a high-molar-mass hyaluronan (HA), were used to prepare membranes with the aim to protect and to enhance the healing of injured skin. A mitochondrially-targeted antioxidant—MitoQ—was incorporated into the mixture of biopolymers prior to their self-association. These three-component membranes were evaluated in detail utilising surface roughness measurements, contact angle measurements, hemocompatibility, and thrombogenicity analyses. Furthermore, in viv… Show more

“…The presence of deacetyl amine groups along polymer backbone provided its basic character and simplified its solubility in the acidic medium. The unique properties of chitosan such as non-toxicity, anti-bacterial activity, biodegradability and excellent biocompatibility 9 , 10 renders it widely used in the bio-medical applications as a drug carrier 11 , antimicrobial 12 , antioxidant 13 , antitumor 14 , and a wound dressing agent 15 , 16 . Therefore, chemical modifications of chitosan simplify its chemical transformation through the present NH 2 and OH − groups and allow the formation of several functional derivatives such as sulfonation 17 , amination 18 and carboxymethylation 19 .…”

“…To create the rabbit ear wound, 5 white New Zealand rabbits (random distribution of male and female) were weighed and anesthetized with an intraperitoneal injection of phenobarbital sodium (150 mg/kg). Both ventral ears were treated with alcohol (75% volume) and draped aseptically [20,21]. One circular (5 mm in diameter) full-thickness wound was generated on the ventral vein side of each ear using a stainless-steel punch.…”

“…Altering manufacturing parameters makes it possible for stimulating natural tissues with tailored biological characteristics appropriate for the recovery of tissues. The advantages of CS are actually broadly described; among the major positive aspects of CS, one can mention the capability to modify properties such as the degradation rate by altering the degree of deacetylation and it's Mw [157][158][159][160][161][162][163][164][165][166][167][168]. Additive components are regularly incorporated into CS in an effort to enhance its printability, fidelity, or to fabricate new cell-laden matrices.…”
