Abstract

In the current study, a core-shell nanofibrous wound dressing based on Pluronic-F127 (F127) containing 2 wt% mupirocin (Mup) core and pectin (Pec)-keratin (Kr) shell was fabricated through coaxial electrospinning technique, and the blended nanofibers were also fabricated from the same materials. The fiber diameter and specific surface area of the blended nanofibers were about 101.56 nm and 20.16 m2/g, while for core-shell nanofibers they were about 97.32 nm and 25.26 m2/g, respectively. The resultant blended and core-shell nanofibers experienced a degradation of 27.65 % and 32.28 % during 7 days, respectively. The drug release profile of core-shell nanofibers revealed a sustained release of Mup over 7 days (87.66 %), while the blended F127-Pec-Kr-Mup nanofibers had a burst release within the first few hours (89.38 % up to 48 h) and a cumulative release of 91.36 % after 7 days. Due to the controlled release of Mup, the core-shell structure significantly improved the human keratinocytes behavior, angiogenic potential and wound healing in a rat model compared to the blended structure. In conclusion, the F127-Mup/Pec-Kr core-shell nanofibrous wound dressing appears to be a promising candidate for the prevention of infection, and can potentially accelerate the recovery and healing of chronic and ischemic wounds. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.
