Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this research was, synthesis of copper nanoparticles using environment friendly cementation method and evaluate their wound healing property on full-thickness excisional wound.

Methods: Present study reports the synthesis of CNPs by single-step cementation method. Evaluation of CNPs was endorsed by morphological and chemical properties. Furthermore, CNPs was evaluated for its antibacterial potential and invitro hemocompatibility. Additionally, pharmacological evaluation of CNPs was assessed against excisional wound.

Results: Characterization of final product indicate, particle size of CNPs were ranging from 100-150 nm. CNPs showed significant antibacterial activity (A= 2.1±0.1 mm, B =2.1±0.1 mm, C = 1.9±0.2 mm, at 10µg/ml), along with superior hemocompatibility (RBC cell survival 97±1 %). Further CNPs formulation shows increased level of anti-inflammatory cytokinin’s (IL-10, 42.7%) as compared to standard (STD), vehicle control, and normal control groups, attributed to accelerated wound healing (p<0.05 vs STD).

Conclusion: The consequences the present investigation endorse the accelerated wound healing potential of CNPs with its anti-inflammatory potential.
