Abstract:
:Nitric oxide (NO) is a promising therapeutic agent with antibacterial and wound-healing properties. However, the gaseous state and short half-life of NO necessitate a formulation that can control its storage and release. In this study, we developed NO-releasing films (CS/NO film) composed of chitosan (CS) and S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) as a NO donor. Thermal analysis demonstrated molecular dispersion of GSNO in the films. In vitro release study revealed that NO release from CS/NO films followed Korsmeyer-Peppas model with Fickian diffusion kinetics. Moreover, the CS/NO film showed a stronger antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Gram-negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) than the CS film. Further, the CS/NO film accelerated wound healing and epithelialization in a rat model of full-thickness wounds as compared to the CS film. Histopathological studies revealed that CS/NO films favorably enhanced the re-epithelialization and reconstruction of wounded skin. Therefore, our results suggest that CS/NO films could be a suitable formulation for treating full-thickness wounds.
