Abstract

Epidermal lipoxygenase enzyme extracted from Ambystoma mexicanum (AmbLOXe) is known to accelerate the wound-healing process. AmbLOXe as a protein suffers from inactivation and losing its activity during formulation. Therefore, a delivery system that protects AmbLOXe from inactivation and preserves its activity is needed. We prepared AmbLOXe-loaded pectin nanoparticles (AmbLOXe Pec-NPs) and placed them into an alginate hydrogel. AmbLOXe Pec-NPs incorporation into the alginate hydrogel provides a means for controlled and sustained delivery of AmbLOXe to the wound site. Furthermore, the suitable swelling behavior and mechanical properties of AmbLOXe Pec-NPs alginate hydrogel make it feasible for clinical use. AmbLOXe Pec-NPs alginate hydrogel significantly enhanced the wound-healing process on the rat full-thickness excisional wounds, increased the rate of wound closure, enhanced the re-epithelialization and decreased the incidence of abnormal scarring. AmbLOXe Pec-NPs alginate hydrogel can be proposed as an effective wound hydrogel for improving wound healing with minimal scarring. © The Author(s) 2019.
