Evaluation of hyaluronic acid nanoparticle embedded chitosan–gelatin hydrogels for antibiotic release. Drug Development Research, 82(2), 241-250.0272-43911098-2299https://doi.org/10.1002/ddr.21747https://hdl.handle.net/11491/7407The development of chitosan-gelatin (CS-G) hydrogels embedded with ampicillin-loaded hyaluronic acid nanoparticles (HA-NPs) for wound dressing is proposed. It was aimed to provide controlled ampicillin delivery by incorporation of HA-NPs into biocompatible CS-G hydrogel structure. According to in vitro ampicillin release studies, 55% of ampicillin was released from CS-G/HA-NPs hydrogels after 5 days. Antibacterial performance of CS-G/HA-NPs hydrogels was proven with agar disc diffusion test. For cytotoxicity assay, fibroblast cell viability increased in CS-G/HA-NPs hydrogels compared with CS-G group after 24 hr incubation. Consequently, the potential ability of CS-G/HA-NPs hydrogels as a controlled drug delivery system has been verified.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAntibiotic ReleaseChitosan-gelatin HydrogelsHyaluronic Acid Nanoparticles EmbeddingArticle82224125010.1002/ddr.21747Q2WOS:0005745687000012-s2.0-8509185108533009868Q2
