Abstract
Wound healing is a complex process involving various cellular events and molecules. Liposomal hydrogels containing therapeutic agents have emerged as a promising approach for wound healing due to their controlled drug release, improved stability, and targeted delivery. In this study, liposomal hydrogels loaded with Mupirocin and Glucophage were developed and evaluated for wound healing properties. Mupirocin prevents bacterial infections, while Glucophage promotes angiogenesis and tissue repair.
Compatibility studies using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry confirmed the compatibility of Mupirocin with excipients. A 32-factorial design was employed to optimize the liposomal formulation, resulting in formulations with a yield of 75.87%, particle size of 264.30 nm, and polydispersity index of 0.233. The formulations showed controlled drug release over 12 hours.
The liposomal hydrogels were evaluated for drug content, viscosity, water vapor transmission, fluid uptake, and rate of evaporation. In vivo studies demonstrated significant improvements in wound healing with the optimized liposomal hydrogels. Histopathological examination revealed well-structured skin and subcutaneous tissue, demonstrating their potential as effective wound dressings.
The integration of Mupirocin and Glucophage in liposomal hydrogels presents a novel therapeutic strategy for wound management. These liposomal hydrogels offer controlled drug delivery and enhanced wound healing, benefiting patients with chronic or non-healing wounds
