(Lam.) DC extract-loaded nanoemulsions have demonstrated potential for wound healing, with promising effects on keratinocyte proliferation. We carried out the first in vivo investigation of the wound healing activity of a hydrogel containing extract-loaded nanoemulsions. We prepared hydrogels by adding the gelling agent (Carbopol Ultrez) to extract-loaded nanoemulsions (~250 nm in diameter) obtained by spontaneous emulsification. The final flavonoid content in formulation was close to 1 mg/mL, as estimated by ultra-fast liquid chromatography. Permeation/retention studies using porcine ear skin showed that flavonoids reached deeper layers of pig ear skin when it was damaged (up to 3.2 µg/cm² in the dermis), but did not reach the Franz-type diffusion cell receptor fluid. For healing activity, we performed a dorsal wound model using Wistar rats, evaluating the lesion size, anti-inflammatory markers, oxidative damage, and histology. We found that extract-loaded formulations promoted wound healing by increasing angiogenesis by ~20%, reducing inflammation (tumor necrosis factor α) by ~35%, decreasing lipid damage, and improving the re-epithelialization process in lesions. In addition, there was an increase in the number of blood vessels and hair follicles for wounds treated with the formulation compared with the controls. Our findings indicate that the proposed formulation could be promising in the search for better quality healing and tissue reconstruction.
(Lam.) DC提取物负载的纳米乳液已显示出伤口愈合的潜力,对角质形成细胞增殖有良好效果。我们首次对含有提取物负载纳米乳液的水凝胶的伤口愈合活性进行了体内研究。我们通过将胶凝剂(卡波姆Ultrez)添加到通过自发乳化获得的提取物负载纳米乳液(直径约250纳米)中来制备水凝胶。通过超快速液相色谱法估计,制剂中的最终类黄酮含量接近1毫克/毫升。使用猪耳皮肤进行的渗透/滞留研究表明,当猪耳皮肤受损时,类黄酮可到达更深层(真皮层中高达3.2微克/平方厘米),但未到达弗兰兹型扩散池受体液。为了研究愈合活性,我们使用Wistar大鼠建立了背部伤口模型,评估了损伤大小、抗炎标志物、氧化损伤和组织学。我们发现,提取物负载制剂通过使血管生成增加约20%、使炎症(肿瘤坏死因子α)减少约35%、减少脂质损伤以及改善损伤部位的再上皮化过程来促进伤口愈合。此外,与对照组相比,用该制剂治疗的伤口的血管和毛囊数量有所增加。我们的研究结果表明,所提出的制剂在寻求更高质量的愈合和组织重建方面可能很有前景。
