AI Article Synopsis
- * An effective formulation was created using specific concentrations of CS (0.833%) and SA (0.75%), which showed nearly complete release of SSD in 6 hours and demonstrated strong antibacterial properties.
- * In animal tests, the SSD biofilm led to a 75% decrease in wound size, outperforming both a standard cream (57% reduction) and an untreated group (0% reduction).
Article Abstract
Infected burned skin is a life-threatening condition, which may lead to sepsis. The aims of this work are to formulate a biofilm composed of silver sulfadiazine (SSD), chitosan (CS), and sodium alginate (SA), and to evaluate its wound-healing effectiveness. A full factorial design was used to formulate different matrix formulations. The prepared biofilm was tested for physicochemical, and in vitro release. The optimized formulation is composed of 0.833% of CS and 0.75% of SA. The release of SSD almost reached 100% after 6 h. The mechanical properties of the optimized formula were reasonable. The antibacterial activity for the optimized biofilm was significantly higher than that of blank biofilm, which is composed of CS and SA, = 1.53922 × 10. Moreover, the in vivo study showed a 75% reduction in wound width when using the formulated SSD biofilm compared to standard marketed cream (57%) and the untreated group (0%).
