Abstract
Novel eucalyptus essential oil liposomes (EEOLs)/chitosan composite sponges (EC) were successfully fabricated by electrostatic self-assembly. EEOLs were prepared by the thin-membrane hydration method with sonication and blended with chitosan solution to create the sponges by lyophilization. The observations of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed the existence of eucalyptus essential oil in the lipid bilayer of liposomal membrane and the location of the liposomes in positive holes formed by the protonated amino groups of chitosan. The average size of EEOLs was about 60 nm. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis showed the destroy of inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding among chitosan chains and the construction of the intermolecular hydrogen bonding between chitosan and molecules on the surface of EEOLs. The incorporation of EEOLs in chitosan sponges slightly decreased the porosity, fluid absorptivity, gas permeability and hemostatic property of sponges, but increased their biodegradation ability. EC exhibited more rapid and efficient microbicidal effects against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Candida albicans (C. albicans) than pure chitosan sponges. EC showed no toxicity toward human HEK293T cells and no significant adverse effect on cell attachment and proliferation of HEK293T cells. This inherent behaviour can be exploited to apply in the medical field.
