https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ABT-888.html Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are considered as novel potential alternatives to antibiotics against increasing number of multi drug resistant (MDR) pathogens. Although AMPs have shown strong antimicrobial activity against gram-negative or gram-positive microorganisms, AMP conjugated biomaterials that are effective against MDR microorganisms are yet to be developed. Herein, the potential use of (RWRWRWRW)-NH2 (AMP-1) and KRFRIRVRV-NH2 (AMP-2) peptide conjugated electrospun polylactic-co-glycolic-acid (PLGA) nanofibers (NFs) fabricated and their antimicrobial effect by themselves and in their dual combination (11) were evaluated on P. aeruginosa and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Those AMP conjugated NFs did not inhibit proliferation of keratinocytes. These results suggest that AMP conjugated NF, which has multiple biological activities, would be a promising candidate as a wound dressing material.Stent-related granulation tissue hyperplasia is a major complication that limits the application of stents in airways. In this study, an arsenic trioxide-eluting electrospun nanofiber-covered self-expandable metallic stent (ATO-NFCS) was developed. Poly-L-lactide-caprolactone (PLCL) was selected as the drug-carrying polymer. Stents with two different ATO contents (0.4% ATO/PLCL and 1.2% ATO/PLCL) were fabricated. The in vitro release in simulated airway fluid suggested that the total ATO release time was 1 d. The growth of human embryonic pulmonary fibroblasts (CCC-HPF-1), normal human bronchial epithelial cells and airway smooth muscle cells was inhibited by ATO. When embedded in paravertebral muscle, the nanofiber membrane showed good short-term and long-term biological effects. In an animal study, placement of the ATO-NFCS in the trachea through a delivery system under fluoroscopy was feasible. The changes in liver and kidney function 1 and 7 d after ATO-NFCS placement were within the normal range. On pathological
