Nitric oxide (NO) has aroused wide interest in the treating infected wounds due to its characteristic functionalities. However, its utilization is limited due to its volatile properties, high reactivity, direct potential toxicity, and byproducts of NO donors limited its application. Herein, endogenously NO donor S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) was connected covalently to polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA-GSNO NPs) to minimize the loss of NO in aqueous medium. Meanwhile, near-infrared (NIR)-controlled NO release and photothermal therapy (PTT) was obtained through the photothermal conversion by PDA. Then chitosan (CS)/gelatin (GE) biocomposite hydrogel films with preferable biocompatibility, surface hydrophilicity, hydroabsorptivity, and mechanical adhesive properties were constructed. By embedding PDA-GSNO NPs into the films, a multifunctional wound dressing was fabricated. Under NIR light irradiation, the combination of PTT, NO-releasing, and CS antibacterial agents can strengthen the in vitro antimicrobial efficacy and in vivo wound healing activities. Meanwhile, the obtained wound dressing presented good biocompatibility. This work outlines an approach for combating bacterial infections and demonstrating the possibility for synergistic NO-releasing wound healing.
