摘要
Hydrogel-based drug delivery systems have emerged as a promising platform for chronic tissue defects owing to their inherent ability to inhibit pathogenic infection and accelerate rapid tissue regeneration. Here, we fabricated a stable bio-hybrid hydrogel system comprising collagen, aminated xanthan gum, bio-capped silver nanoparticles and melatonin with antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Highly colloidal bio-capped silver nanoparticles were synthesized using collagen as a reducing cum stabilizing agent for the first time while aminated xanthan gum was synthesized using ethylenediamine treatment on xanthan gum. The synthesized bio-hybrid hydrogel exhibits better gelation, surface morphology, rheology and degelation properties. In vitro assessment of bio-hybrid hydrogel demonstrates excellent bactericidal efficiency against both common wound and multidrug-resistant pathogens and biocompatibility properties. In vivo animal studies demonstrate rapid tissue regeneration, collagen deposition and angiogenesis at the wound site predominantly due to the synergistic effect of silver nanoparticles and melatonin in the hydrogel. This study paves the way for developing biologically functional bio-nano hydrogel systems for promoting effective care for various ailments, including infected chronic wounds.
