Abstract: Electrospun poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) fiber mats containing an acetone crude extract of Garcinia dulcis Roxb. (GD) at either amount of 30% or 50% (based on the weight of PLLA) were successfully prepared by electrospinning. Both the neat and the GD-loaded GD-loaded PLLA fiber mats remained active even after it had been subjected to a high electrical potential during electrospinning process. The antimicrobial activity of the GD-loaded PLLA fiber mats was greatest against Streptococcus pyogenes. Lastly, the GD-loaded PLLA fiber mats were proven non-toxic to normal human dermal fibroblasts, making their potential for use as wound dressings. |
