Zusammenfassung: | The design and development of wound dressing with antioxidant and antibacterial properties to accelerate wound healing remain challenging. In this study, we synthesize a chitooligosaccharide-gentisic acid (COS-GSA) conjugate using the free-radical grafting method, and fabricate a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/chitosan (CH)/COS-GSA (PVA/CH/CG) hydrogel using a freeze-thaw method. We characterize the synthesized COS-GSA conjugates using through polyphenol assay, absorbance, and
H NMR spectroscopy and evaluate their antioxidant properties. The COS-GSA conjugates are successfully synthesized and exhibit better antioxidant properties than pristine COSs. Subsequently, the fabricated hydrogel is characterized based on its morphological analysis, rheological properties, water contact angle, swelling, degradation, water retention properties, and COS-GSA release profiles. Finally, the biocompatibility of the fabricated hydrogel is evaluated on HDF and HaCaT cells through indirect and direct cytotoxicity. The PVA/CH/CG hydrogel exhibited significantly higher antioxidant properties (DPPH, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), and hydrogen peroxide (H
O
) scavenging activities) and antibacterial activities (Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) compared to other fabricated hydrogels such as PVA, PVA/CH, and PVA/CH/COS (PVA/CH/C). These results provide evidence that PVA/CH/CG hydrogels with antioxidant, antibacterial, and non-cytotoxic properties have great potential for wound-dressing applications. |
