Wound healing of nanofiber comprising Polygalacturonic/Hyaluronic acid embedded silver nanoparticles: In-vitro and in-vivo studies

•Novel wound dressing, of Polygalacturonic, Hyaluronic acid embedded silver nanoparticles is provided.•Electrospinning is used to fabricated the previous wound dressing formulation.•The nanofiber embedded AgNPs was applied to the wounded site of albino rats in-vivo.•Antimicrobial activity for the nanofiber mates was fully evaluated.•Histopathological assessment for the wound sites was fully assessed. The current study is pertaining to develop a novel wound dressing, comprising natural biologically absorbable materials for wound healing In-vivo. Wound dressing is composed of Polygalacturonic acid, Hyaluronic acid embedded silver nanoparticles, which is further fabricated to form nanofibrous mat, using electrospinning. Silver nanoparticles was prepared using PGA. AgNPs in this formula will serve as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that protect cells from destructive effect of elevated ROS and accelerate wound healing. The physical performance and water contact angle for nanofiber was evaluated. The produced nanofiber was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy and thermal analysis. Also, the embedded AgNPs was also characterized by UV–vis spectroscopy and TEM. The nanofiber mates embedded AgNPs was applied to the wounded site of albino rats in-vivo. Histopathological assessment for the wound was fully performed. Also, the antimicrobial activity for the fabricated wound dressing was evaluated against gram+ve and gram −ve bacteria.
