Green synthesis of gelatin-loaded magnesium hydroxide nanocomposites and their biomedical applications
In the frontier field of biomaterial science, the combination of green synthesis technology and nanotechnology has opened up a new path for the development of new biomaterials. The gelatin-loaded magnesium hydroxide nanocomposite biomaterial synthesized using Coleus amboinicus (South Sea Mint) leaf extract not only has enhanced biological activity, but also shows great potential in antibacterial, antioxidant, anticholinergic and wound healing promotion.
Innovation in synthetic methods
Extraction of natural active ingredients: Active compounds such as phenols, flavonoids and terpenes are extracted from Nanyang mint leaves. These natural ingredients have significant antibacterial, antioxidant and pharmacological activities. Preparation of magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles: Use green chemistry methods, such as solvothermal method or precipitation method, to synthesize environmentally friendly magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles to avoid the generation of harmful by-products. Nanocomposite construction: Natural active ingredients are loaded onto magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles through physical or chemical means and combined with gelatin to form nanocomposite biomaterials with good biocompatibility and bioactivity. Exploration of potential applications and features
Antimicrobial properties: The natural extracts released by the composites have broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, making them suitable for use in medical dressings and implants, reducing the risk of infection. Antioxidant activity: Antioxidant ingredients help scavenge free radicals and reduce oxidative stress, making them suitable for use in anti-aging and skin care products. Anticholinergic effects: When applied topically, the active ingredients may reduce muscle spasms or overproduction and improve skin conditions. Wound healing: The moisturizing and biocompatibility of gelatin, combined with the activity of the extracts, accelerate wound healing and reduce scarring.
This green synthesis strategy not only improves the utilization efficiency of natural resources, but also enhances the functionality of materials through nanotechnology, bringing new application prospects to the fields of biomedicine, drug delivery systems and tissue engineering. The environmentally friendly preparation method meets the requirements of sustainable development and provides innovative ideas for the development of biomedical materials. Future research will further optimize the preparation process and evaluate its safety and effectiveness in medical applications to promote technological progress in this field. Green synthesized gelatin-loaded magnesium hydroxide nanocomposite biomaterials combine the advantages of natural plant resources and nanotechnology, showing wide application potential in the biomedical field. This innovative research direction not only provides a paradigm for the modern application of traditional natural resources, but also opens up new ways to develop high-performance biomedical materials.
With the continuous development of biomaterials science and nanotechnology, this new composite material is expected to play an important role in the future medical and health field, bringing safer and more effective treatment options to patients.
