Capparis zeylanica L. conjugated TiO2 nanoparticles as bio-enhancers for antimicrobial and chronic wound repair

Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2022 Oct 1:623:127-132. doi: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2022.07.064. Epub 2022 Jul 19.

Abstract

Chronic, non-healable wounds have been a threat throughout history and have consumed centuries of traditional and modern research. In wound repair, a growing variety of novel treatments have been developed. At various stages of wound healing, nanostructure systems are employed. The drug may be synthesized at the nanoscale to act as a "provider," or nanomaterial could be employed as biomedical devices. Capparis zeylanica was used to synthesize Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) under ambient temperature. The UV-Vis spectrophotometer was used to confirm the illumination of fabricated TiO2NPs tuned to a size of 352 nm TiO2NPs have been revealed to be spherical and linked to one another using scanning electron microscopy. Biologically active functionality molecules involved in green synthesized TiO2NPs were indicated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy peaks. The TiO2NPs are amorphous, according to X-ray diffraction spectra. Skin diseases causing pathogens were studied for anti-microbial activity using the agar well diffusion method, and the results indicated significant anti-microbial properties. Furthermore, the wound healing ability of fabricated TiO2NPs was investigated in an excision wound model in Swiss albino mice. Finally, our findings revealed that TiO2NPs had provided a unique therapeutic approach for wound healing and in the planning of therapies.
