Multifunctional double-network hydrogel with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory synergistic effects contributes to wound healing of bacterial infection
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules(2024)
Abstract
Wound infection not only hinders the time sequence of tissue repair, but also may lead to serious complications. Multifunctional wound dressings with biocompatibility, excellent mechanical properties and antibacterial properties can promote wound healing during skin infection and reduce the use of antibiotics. In this study, a multifunctional dual-network antibacterial hydrogel was constructed based on the electrostatic interaction of two polyelectrolytes, hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (HACC) and sodium alginate (SA). Attributing to the suitable physical crosslinking between HACC and SA, the hydrogel not only has good biocompatibility, mechanical property, but also has broad-spectrum antibacterial properties. In vivo results showed that the hydrogel could regulate M2 polarization, promote early vascular regeneration, and create a good microenvironment for wound healing. Therefore, this hydrogel is an effective multifunctional wound dressing. Consequently, we propose a novel hydrogel with combined elements to expedite the intricate repair of wound infection.
