Characterization and applications of silver nanoparticles-decorated electrospun nanofibers loaded with polyphenolic extract from rambutan (Nepelium lappaceum)

Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) is a traditional fruit originally from Asia and now widely available in Central America. The rind of rambutan is rich in antioxidants, especially polyphenols, which have natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Rambutan polyphenolic extract (RPE) was enc...

Rambutan polyphenolic extract (RPE) was encapsulated in multi-component electrospun nanofiber (ESNF) templates.

In addition, a synergistic antibacterial and cell proliferation effect between AgNPs and RPE was observed when they were combined in the multi-functionalized ESNF system. The effectiveness of AgNPs/RPE-PCL ESNF as an antioxidant and antibacterial matrix could potentially promote wound healing and also serve as a hybrid scaffold for tissue engineering. El rambután (Nephelium lappaceum) es una fruta tradicional originaria de Asia y ahora ampliamente disponible en América Central. La corteza del rambután es rica en antioxidantes, especialmente polifenoles, que tienen propiedades antiinflamatorias y antimicrobianas naturales. El extracto polifenólico de rambután (RPE) se encapsuló en plantillas de nanofibras electrohiladas (ESNF) multicomponente. Estas nanofibras se decoraron con nanopartículas de plata (AgNP) mediante reducción electroquímica in situ. Los ESNF cargados con RPE y decorado con AgNP (AgNPs / RPE-ESNF) se evaluaron por sus propiedades hidrófilas, antioxidantes y antimicrobianas. Los resultados indican que la adición de RPE a policaprolactona sintética (PCL) ESNF mejora la hidrofilia y la unión y proliferación celular in vitro. Además, se observó un efecto sinérgico antibacteriano y de proliferación celular entre los AgNP y el RPE cuando se combinaron en el sistema ESNF multifuncionalizado. La eficacia de AgNPs / RPE-PCL ESNF como matriz antioxidante y antibacteriana podría promover la cicatrización de heridas y también servir como un andamio híbrido para la ingeniería de tejidos.
