Aim: The aim of the present study was to produce chrysin-curcumin-loaded PCL-PEG nanofibres by an electrospinning technique and to evaluate the biological activity of the chrysin-curcumin-loaded PCL-PEG fibres for wound healing and its related genes using in vivo methods.
Materials And Methods: The electrospinning method was carried out for the preparation of the chrysin, curcumin and chrysin-curcumin-loaded PCL-PEG nanofibres with different concentrations. FTIR and SEM were performed to characterize the chemical structures and morphology of the nanofibres.

Wound healing is an inflammatory process. Chrysin, a natural flavonoid found in honey, has been recently investigated to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. In this work, the effects of chrysin-loaded nanofiber on the expressions of genes that are related to wound healing process such as P53, TIMPs, MMPs, iNOS, and IL-6 in an animal model study were evaluated.

Through our previous study, the Chrysin loaded PGLA/PEG has been synthesized, and its physico-chemical properties were characterized. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the Chrysin loaded PGLA/PEG nanoparticle therapeutic effects on TIMP-1, TIMP-2, MMP-2, MMP-9 and PI3k expression in Mouse 4T1 breast tumor model.
