Turmeric Herb Extract-Incorporated Biopolymer Dressings with Beneficial Antibacterial, Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Properties for Wound Healing

Bacterial infection and inflammation caused by excess oxidative stress are serious challenges in chronic wound healing. The aim of this work is to investigate a wound dressing based on natural- and biowaste-derived biopolymers loaded with an herb extract that demonstrates antibacterial, antioxidant,...

description Bacterial infection and inflammation caused by excess oxidative stress are serious challenges in chronic wound healing. The aim of this work is to investigate a wound dressing based on natural- and biowaste-derived biopolymers loaded with an herb extract that demonstrates antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities without using additional synthetic drugs. Turmeric extract-loaded carboxymethyl cellulose/silk sericin dressings were produced by esterification crosslinking with citric acid followed by freeze-drying to achieve an interconnected porous structure, sufficient mechanical properties, and hydrogel formation in situ in contact with an aqueous solution. The dressings exhibited inhibitory effects on the growth of bacterial strains that were related to the controlled release of the turmeric extract. The dressings provided antioxidant activity as a result of the radical scavenging effect on DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP radicals. To confirm their anti-inflammatory effects, the inhibition of nitric oxide production in activated RAW 264.7 macrophages was investigated. The findings suggested that the dressings could be a potential candidate for wound healing.
