摘要
This study set out to formulate antibacterial and antioxidant gelatin boosted by cinnamaldehyde for combating multi-drug resistant bacteria previously obtained from chronic wounds. Towards this end, gelatin amine groups were conjugated with carbonyl groups of cinnamaldehyde, producing cinnamyl-gelatin Schiff bases. The physicochemical attributes of cinnamyl-gelatin Schiff bases were probed concerning alterations in chemical structures and microstructures compared to native gelatin. Besides, cinnamyl-gelatin Schiff bases exhibited higher thermal stability than gelatin, with a diminishing in solubility due to increases in hydrophobicity features. Interestingly, cinnamyl-gelatin derivatives exerted antibacterial activities versus multi-drug resistant Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, showing maximum growth inhibition at the highest concentration of cinnamaldehyde incorporated into gelatin. The scavenging activities of gelatin against DPPH and ABTS•+ were promoted in cinnamyl-gelatin derivatives from 11.93 ± 0.6 % to 49.9 ± 2.5 % and 12.54 ± 0.63 % to 49.9 ± 3.12 %, respectively. Remarkably, cinnamyl-gelatin derivatives induced the proliferation of fibroblast cells, implying their prospective applications in tissue engineering. Molecular docking and pharmacokinetic investigations disclosed the potential antibacterial mechanisms of cinnamyl-gelatin derivatives alongside their biopharmaceutical applications. Altogether, these findings suggest that cinnamyl-gelatin derivatives could be utilized to tailor antibacterial-free antibiotics and antioxidant wound dressings against virulent bacteria to promote chronic wound recovery.
