    Fabrication and in Vitro Evaluation of Thermally Cross-Linked Gelatin Nanofibers for Drug Delivery Applications
    (Taylor & Francis, 2022) Mete, Derya; Göktaş, Gözde; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah
    In this study, four different nanofibers consisting of gelatin (Gel), doxorubicin (DOX) with gel (DOX@Gel), a composite of gel with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEGylated-gel), and DOX@PEGylated-gel were fabricated. Subsequently, the nanofibers were thermally cross-linked in order to offer a stable and biocompatible alternative for the biological applications of nanofibers such as drug delivery and tissue engineering. Nanofibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), and confocal microscopy. The formation of smooth, continuous, and uniform nanofibers was observed and the addition of PEG resulted in an increase whereas the incorporation of DOX into nanofibers had no significant change in the diameter of nanofibers. Crosslinking also enlarged the diameter of all nanofibers and the most dramatic increase was observed 53% by DOX@PEGylated-gel. Afterward, the biological performance of the nanofibers was investigated by drug release profile, cytotoxicity on A549 cell line as well as antimicrobial activity with E. coli and S. aureus. The results indicate an enhanced drug release profile, moderate antimicrobial activity, and reasonable cytotoxic efficiency for thermally cross-linked nanofibers compared to uncross-linked nanofibers.

    Micro-Encapsulation of Ozonated Red Pepper Seed Oil With Antimicrobial Activity and Application To Nonwoven Fabric
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2013) Özyıldız, Figen; Karagönlü, S.; Başal, Güldemet; Uzel, Ataç; Bayraktar, Oğuz
    In recent years, functional fabrics possessing antimicrobial activity have drawn significant interest because antibiotic resistance is becoming widespread among pathogenic micro-organisms. The aim of this study was to produce microcapsules incorporating ozonated red pepper seed oil (ORPSO) with antimicrobial properties and apply them to nonwoven fabrics to prepare functional textiles. Red pepper seed oil (RPSO) was ozonated and micro-encapsulated via a complex coacervation method using gelatin (GE) and gum arabic (GA) as wall materials. While micro-encapsulation yield and oil loading decreased with increases in the amount of surfactant, the mean particle size increased. The antimicrobial activity of the oil was tested via the disc diffusion method. The microcapsules were also tested using the agar well method. While RPSO had no effect on the test micro-organisms, the ORPSO and microcapsules containing ORPSO were found to be active against the test micro-organisms. The microcapsules were then applied to nonwoven fabric using the padding method to produce a disposable functional textile. The microcapsule-impregnated functional fabrics provided a 5 log decrease in 1 h. It is therefore possible to functionalize nonwoven fabrics to have antimicrobial activity against antibiotic-resistant micro-organisms, using microcapsules containing ORPSO.
