Nanofibrous dressing materials with an antitumor function can potentially inhibit recurrence of melanoma following the surgical excision skin tumors. In this study, hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile (hPAN) nanofibers biofunctionalized L-carnosine (CAR) and loaded bio (CAR)-synthesized zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles, ZnO/CAR-hPAN (hereafter called ZCPAN), were employed to develop antimelanoma wound dressing. Inspired by formulation commercial healing Zn-CAR complex, i.e., polaprezinc (PLZ), for first time, we benefitted from synergy CAR create nanofibrous According scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, ultrafine ZnO nanoparticles homogenously distributed throughout The ZCPAN nanofiber mat showed a significantly higher toughness (18.7 MJ.m−3 vs. 1.4 MJ.m−3) enhanced elongation at break (stretchability) compared neat PAN (12% 9.5%). Additionally, optical coherence elastography (OCE) measurements indicated that was as stiff 50.57 ± 8.17 kPa which is notably larger than dressing, 24.49 6.83 kPa. optimum mechanical performance originates physicochemical interaction ligands, hPAN nanofibers, through hydrogen bonding, electrostatic esterification, verified using ATR-FTIR.

Polysaccharides, the most abundant biopolymers in nature, have attracted attention of researchers and clinicians due to its practicality biomedical pharmaceutical sciences. These biomaterials high bioavailability play structural functional roles living organisms. Polysaccharides are classified into several groups based on their origin, including plant polysaccharides marine (like chitosan, hyaluronic acid, dextran, alginates, etc.) with specific applications. possess unique physicochemical (such as surface groups, solubility, stability), mechanical strength tensile), antioxidant activity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, renewability, non-immunogenicity) characteristics which made them excellent platforms for a wide variety Ease extraction different preparation approaches mentioned other potential properties that further improved They drug/bioactive encapsulation capacity sustained/controlled release manner vivo microenvironments. The anti-inflammatory immunomodulation, stimuli-responsive release, passive active delivery considered features these indicated practical applications sciences, biosensors, tissue engineering, implantation, wound healing, vascular grafting, vaccines.
