Resumo(s): | [Excerpt] The incidence of chronic wounds (CW) is growing at an accelerated rate around the world. To address this problem, new wound dressings functionalized with active biomolecules are being engineered to manage and treat CW [1]. The introduction of peptides, such as pexiganan and tiger 17, has already been established as a viable solution within dressing formulations due to the emergence of bacterial strains with increased resistance to conventional antibiotics [2]. Pexiganan displayed a broad spectrum of activity against pathogens and reducing bacterial resistance, while Tiger 17 is a not so explored peptide with improved regenerative potential is also being investigated to unveil its antimicrobial potential so far unknown. Nowadays, biocompatibility and biodegradability are assumed as essential requirements in biomedical purposes. |
