Polydopamine Nanosphere with In-Situ Loaded Gentamicin and Its Antimicrobial Activity.

ABSTRACT: The mussel inspired polydopamine has acquired great relevance in the field of nanomedicines, owing to its incredible physicochemical properties. Polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) due to their low cytotoxicity, high biocompatibility and ready biodegradation have already been widely investigated in various drug delivery, chemotherapeutic, and diagnostic applications. In addition, owing to its highly reactive nature, it possesses a very high capability for loading drugs and chemotherapeutics. Therefore, the loading efficiency of PDA NPs for an antibiotic i.e., gentamicin (G) has been investigated in this work. For this purpose, an in-situ polymerization method was studied to load the drug into PDA NPs using variable drug: monomer ratios. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the successful loading of drug within PDA NPs, mainly via hydrogen bonding between the amine groups of gentamicin and the hydroxyl groups of PDA. The loading amount was quantified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and the highest percentage loading capacity was achieved for G-PDA prepared with drug to monomer ratio of 1:1. Moreover, the gentamicin loaded PDA NPs were tested in a preliminary antibacterial evaluation using the broth microdilution method against both Gram-(+) Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-(-) Pseudomonas aeruginosa microorganisms. The highest loaded G-PDA sample exhibited the lowest minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration values. The developed gentamicin loaded PDA is very promising for long term drug release and treating various microbial infections.

Project description:Skin wound healing is a complicated and lengthy process, which is influenced by multiple factors and need a suitable cellular micro-environment. For skin wound, wound dressings remain a cornerstone of dermatologic therapy at present. The dressing material can create an effective protective environment for the wound, and the interactions between the dressing and the wound has a great impact on the wound healing efficiency. An ideal wound dressing materials should have good biocompatibility, moisturizing property, antibacterial property and mechanical strength, and can effectively prevent wound infection and promote wound healing. In this study, in order to design wound dressing materials endowed with excellent antibacterial and tissue repair properties, we attempted to load antimicrobial peptides onto dopmine-modified graphene oxide (PDA@GO) using lysozyme (ly) as a model drug. Then, functionalized GO was used to the surface modification of arginine-modified chitosan (CS-Arg) membrane. To evaluate the potential of the prepared nanocomposite membrane in wound dressing application, the surface morphology, hydrophilic, mechanical properties, antimicrobial activity, and cytocompatibility of the resulting nanocomposite membrane were analyzed. The results revealed that prepared nanocomposite membrane exhibited excellent hydrophilic, mechanical strength and antimicrobial activity, which can effectively promote cell growth and adhesion. In particular, using PDA@GO as drug carrier can effectively maintain the activity of antimicrobial peptides, and can maximize the antibacterial properties of the nanocomposite membrane. Finally, we used rat full-thickness wound models to observe wound healing, and the surface interactions between the prepared nanocomposite membrane and the wound. The results indicated that nanocomposite membrane can obviously accelerated wound closure, and the wounds showed reduced inflammation, improved angiogenesis and accelerated re-epithelialization. Therefore, incorporation of antimicrobial peptides-functionalize graphene oxide (ly-PDA@GO) into CS-Arg membrane was a viable strategy for fabricating excellent wound dressing. Together, this study not only prepared a wound dressing with excellent tissue repair ability, but also provided a novel idea for the development of graphene oxide-based antibacterial dressing.
