Cellulose Acetate-Based Electrospun Materials with a Variety of Biological Potentials: Antibacterial, Antifungal and Anticancer.

ABSTRACT: Novel eco-friendly fibrous materials with complex activities from cellulose acetate and cellulose acetate/polyethylene glycol (CA,PEG) containing 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline as a model drug were obtained by electrospinning. Several methods, including scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, water contact angle measurements, and mechanical tests, were utilized to characterize the obtained materials. The incorporation of PEG into the fibers facilitated the drug release. The amounts of the released drug from CA/5-Cl8Q and CA,PEG/5-Cl8Q were 78 ± 3.38% and 86 ± 3.02%, respectively (for 175 min). The antibacterial and antifungal activities of the obtained materials were studied. The measured zones of inhibition of CA/5-Cl8Q and CA,PEG/5-Cl8Q mats were 4.0 ± 0.18 and 4.5 ± 0.2 cm against S. aureus and around 4.0 ± 0.15 and 4.1 ± 0.22 cm against E. coli, respectively. The complete inhibition of the C. albicans growth was detected. The cytotoxicity of the obtained mats was tested toward HeLa cancer cells, SH-4 melanoma skin cells, and mouse BALB/c 3T3 fibroblasts as well. The CA/5-Cl8Q and CA,PEG/5-Cl8Q materials exhibited anticancer activity and low normal cell toxicity. Thus, the obtained fibrous materials can be suitable candidates for wound dressing applications and for application in local cancer treatment.

Electrospun Materials Based on Cellulose Acetate Loaded with Rosmarinic Acid with Antioxidant and Antifungal Properties.

Project description:Fibrous cellulose acetate (CA) materials loaded with rosmarinic acid (RA) were successfully created by one-pot electrospinning. In order to improve the water solubility of the polyphenolic acid and to facilitate its release from the fibrous materials, the non-ionic water-soluble polyethylene glycol (PEG) was added. Detailed characterization of the fabricated fibrous CA/RA and CA/PEG/RA materials was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), UV-Vis spectroscopy and water contact angle analysis. The optimal ratio between CA, RA and PEG for preparation of defect-free and uniform fibers was accomplished by varying their concentrations. Furthermore, the incorporation of the PEG improved the hydrophilicity and wettability of the fibrous CA materials. Moreover, PEG facilitated the RA release and over 360 min, the amount released from fibrous CA/PEG/RA fibers was 91%, while that released from CA/RA materials was 53%. Both of the RA-containing fibrous materials, with and without PEG, manifested high antioxidant activity as determined by the DPPH free radical-scavenging method. In addition, the electrospun CA/PEG/RA materials displayed good antifungal activity against C. albicans. These features make the fibrous CA/PEG/RA materials promising candidates for treatment of wound infections.

Antibacterial Property of Cellulose Acetate Composite Materials Reinforced with Aluminum Nitride.

Project description:Cellulose acetate (CA) is a synthetic compound that is derived from the acetylation of cellulose. CA is well known as it has been used for many commercial products such as textiles, plastic films, and cigarette filters. In this research, antibacterial CA composites were produced by addition of aluminum nitride (AlN) at different weight percentage, from 0 wt. % to 20 wt. %. The surface characterization was performed using laser microscope, Raman and FTIR spectroscopy. The mechanical and thermal properties of the composite were analyzed. Although the mechanical strength tended to decrease as the concentration of AlN increased and needed to be optimized, the melting temperature (Tm) and glass transition temperature (Tg) showed a shift toward higher values as the AlN concentration increased leading to an improvement in thermal properties. AlN additions in weight percentages >10 wt. % led to appreciable antibacterial properties against S. epidermidis and E. coli bacteria. Antibacterial CA/AlN composites with higher thermal stability have potential applications as alternative materials for plastic packaging in the food industry.

Antioxidant and Antitumor Activities of Novel Quercetin-Loaded Electrospun Cellulose Acetate/Polyethylene Glycol Fibrous Materials.

Project description:The aim of present study was to obtain novel fibrous materials based on cellulose derivative and polyethylene glycol loaded with natural biologically active compound quercetin by electrospinning. Several methods including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), water contact angle measurements, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and UV-VIS spectroscopy were utilized to characterize the obtained materials. The incorporation of polyethylene glycol in the fibrous material resulted in increased hydrophilicity and burst release of quercetin from the fibers. Quercetin-containing fibrous mats exhibited high antioxidant activity as estimated by DPPH free radical scavenging method. In vitro tests with HeLa tumor cells and SH-4 melanoma skin cells were performed in order to determine the cytotoxicity of the novel materials. It was found that the fibrous CA/PEG/QUE materials exhibited high cytotoxic effect against both cell lines. Therefore, the novel polymeric materials containing quercetin are promising candidates for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.

Bioactive Cellulose Acetate Electrospun Mats as Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Regeneration.

Project description:In the last decades, cell-based approaches for bone tissue engineering (BTE) have relied on using models that cannot replicate the complexity of the bone microenvironment. There is an ongoing amount of research on scaffold development responding to the need for feasible materials that can mimic the bone extracellular matrix (ECM) and aid bone tissue regeneration (BTR). In this work, a porous cellulose acetate (CA) fiber mat was developed using the electrospinning technique and the mats were chemically modified to bioactivate their surface and promote osteoconduction and osteoinduction. The mats were characterized using FTIR and SEM/EDS to validate the chemical modifications and assess their structural integrity. By coupling adhesive peptides KRSR, RGD, and growth factor BMP-2, the fiber mats were bioactivated, and their induced biological responses were evaluated by employing immunocytochemical (ICC) techniques to study the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of premature osteoblast cells (hFOB 1.19). The biological assessment revealed that at short culturing periods of 48 hours and 7 days, the presence of the peptides was significant for proliferation and adhesion, whereas at longer culture times of 14 days, it had no significant effect on differentiation and maturation of the osteogenic progenitor cells. Based on the obtained results, it is thus concluded that the CA porous fiber mats provide a promising surface morphology that is both biocompatible and can be rendered bioactive upon the addition of osteogenic peptides to favor osteoconduction leading to new tissue formation.

Effect of Solution Miscibility on the Morphology of Coaxial Electrospun Cellulose Acetate Nanofibers.

Project description:Coaxial electrospinning (co-electrospinning) technique has greatly expanded the universality of fabricating core-shell polymer nanofibers. However, the effect of solution miscibility on the morphology of co-electrospun products remains unclear. Herein, different cellulose acetate (CA) solutions with high solution miscibility but distinctly different electrospinnability were used to survey the effect of solution miscibility on the co-electrospinning process. The structural characterizations show that co-electrospun products are composed of nanofibers with and without the core-shell structure. This indicates that partial solution mixing occurred during the co-electrospinning process instead of absolute no-mixing or complete mixing. Importantly, the solution miscibility also shows a significant influence on the product morphology. In particular, the transformation from nanofibers to microparticles was realized with the increase of core-to-shell flow ratio during the co-electrospinning of core electrosprayable CA/dimethylacetamide (DMAc) solution and shell electrospinnable CA/acetone-DMAc (2/1, v/v) solution. Results show that the solution miscibility exerts a significant effect on not only the formation of core-shell structure but also the product morphology. This work provides a new insight for the in-depth understanding of the co-electrospinning process.

8-Hydroxyquinoline-5-Sulfonic Acid-Containing Poly(Vinyl Alcohol)/Chitosan Electrospun Materials and Their Cu2+ and Fe3+ Complexes: Preparation, Antibacterial, Antifungal and Antitumor Activities.

Project description:Novel poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/chitosan (Ch)-based fibrous materials containing an ionizable model drug, 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid (SQ), were successfully fabricated by electrospinning. Complexes between the components of the crosslinked PVA/Ch/SQ mats and Cu2+ and Fe3+ ions were formed. The coordination of these ions in the mats was examined by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR). The microbiological screening against S. aureus and C. albicans revealed that both the incorporation of SQ in the mats and the complexation with Cu2+ and Fe3+ imparted to these materials antibacterial and antifungal activities. Moreover, the SQ-containing mats and their complexes displayed good cytotoxicity against human cervical HeLa tumor cells. The most prominent was the cytotoxicity of the Cu2+ complex of the mats. The combined antibacterial, antifungal and in vitro antitumor activities render these novel materials promising candidates for wound dressing applications and for application in the local treatment of cervical tumors.

New Functional Polymer Materials via Click Chemistry-Based Modification of Cellulose Acetate.

Project description:Cellulose acetate (CA) was partially acrylated, and the resulting cellulose acetate acrylate (acryl-substitution degree of 0.2) underwent quantitative thio-Michael click reactions with various thiols. A toolbox of functional CA polymers was obtained in this way, and their properties were studied. The modification with fatty alkyl thiols led to hydrophobic materials with large water drop contact angles. Octadecylthio-, butoxycarbonylpropylthio-, and furanylthio-modifications formed highly transparent materials. The new derivative CAASFur disintegrated completely under industrial composting conditions. Films of modified CA polymers were cast and investigated in terms of barrier properties. The nanocomposite of CAAS18 compounded with a synthetic layered silicate (hectorite) of a large aspect ratio showed permeabilities as low as 0.09 g mm m-2 day-1 for water vapor and 0.16 cm3 mm m-2 day-1 atm-1 for oxygen. This portfolio of functional CA polymers opens the door to new applications.

Functionalisation of Electrospun Cellulose Acetate Membranes with PEDOT and PPy for Electronic Controlled Drug Release.

Project description:Controlled drug release via electrical stimulation from drug-impregnated fibres was studied using electrospun cellulose acetate (CA) membranes and encapsulated ibuprofen (IBU). This research outlines the influence of polypyrrole (PPy) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)-functionalised CA membranes and their suitability for dermal electronic-controlled drug release. Micro Raman analysis confirmed polymer functionalisation of CA membranes and drug incorporation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images evidenced the presence of PPy and PEDOT coatings. The kinetic of drug release was analysed, and the passive and active release was compared. In the proposed systems, the drug release is controlled by very low electrical potentials. A potential of -0.3 V applied to membranes showed the ibuprofen retention, and a positive potential of +0.3 V, +0.5 V, or +0.8 V, depending on the conductive polymer and membrane configuration, enhanced the drug release. A small adhesive patch was constructed to validate this system for cutaneous application and verified an "ON/OFF" ibuprofen release pattern from membranes.

Chitosan/Hyaluronate Complex-Coated Electrospun Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) Materials Containing Extracts from <i>Melissa officinalis</i> and/or <i>Hypericum perforatum</i> with Various Biological Activities: Antioxidant, Antibacterial and In Vitro Anticancer Effects.

Project description:The present study aimed to fabricate innovative fibrous materials with various biological activities from poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), sodium hyaluronate (HA), chitosan (Ch), Melissa officinalis (MO), Hypericum perforatum (HP) extract, or a combination of both extracts. Electrospinning or electrospinning followed by dip coating and the subsequent formation of a polyelectrolyte complex were the methods used to prepare these materials. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) were applied for investigating the morphology of materials, their thermal characteristics, and their surface chemical composition. The composition and design of the mats had an influence on the in vitro release behavior of the main bioactive compounds present in the MO and HP extracts incorporated in the materials. It was found that as-created materials comprising a combination of both extracts and a Ch/HA complex exerted higher antioxidant activity than that of (non-)coated MO-containing mats and Ch/HA-coated mats containing HP. The novel materials manifested antibacterial efficacy towards the pathogenic bacteria S. aureus and E. coli, as evidenced by the performed microbiological screening. Furthermore, the mats possessed a great growth inhibitory effect on HeLa cancer cells but had a less pronounced effect on the growth of normal mouse BALB/3T3 fibroblasts. The loading of both extracts in the mats and the formation of coating led to the enhancement of the in vitro anticancer and antibacterial activities of the materials. Thus, the novel materials have potential for use in local cancer therapy as well as for use as wound dressings.

Anti microbial corrosion properties of electrospun cellulose acetate nanofibers containing biogenic silver nanoparticles for copper coatings.

Project description:Nanofibers with inorganic nanoparticles are novel hybrid nanocomposites that have great potential in various areas. In the present study, cellulose acetate nanofibers (CA-Nf) loaded with biogenic silver nanoparticles were prepared and characterized. In situ synthesis of silver nanoparticles was accomplished using a bacteria free solution as a reducing agent. Nanofibers incorporated with silver nanoparticles were fabricated using the electrospinning technique. Upright microscopy and SEM micrographs depicted that the CA-Nf coatings consist of dense and compact entangled nanofibers that completely cover the copper surface. Corrosion measurements were performed by potentiodynamic polarization measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques on the bare copper and CA-Nf and CA-Nf_5% AgNp coated copper surfaces in artificial seawater (ASW) and Escherichia coli ATCC 13883 inoculated solutions. Weight loss and electrochemical corrosion test results revealed that the CA-Nf-coated copper had greater corrosion resistance than bare copper. The additional electrospun CA-Nf_5% AgNp coating also had greater antibacterial behavior toward model biofilm bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa than uncoated copper specimens. Therefore, this nanofiber with AgNps was demonstrated as an efficient anticorrosive material in both corrosive and biocorrosive marine solutions.
