Resumen:
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and PolyVinyl Alcohol-
Pectin (PVA-P) lms containing the fluouroquinolone enrofloxacin, and an keratinase enzyme, which were developed to treat wounds and eschars, acting as a patch in the infected skin areas.In this work, characterization of the
polymeric blend as well as PVA-P keratinase-enrofloxacin
matrix was achieved to get insight on structure-function
relationship. The presence of pectin in PVA cryogel in-
crease the size of PVA nanodomains determined by X-ray
diffraction (XRD) patterns which implies an interaction
between both polymers. SAXS analysis showed changes
in 0.84 nm of PVA nanodomains when enrofloxacin and
keratinase were immobilized into PVA-P cryogels. These
results conrfirmed the incorporation of both the enzyme
and enrofloxacin in the polymeric matrix. A model involving the complex formation between the enzyme and enrofloxacin allocated through and between PVA nanodomains is proposed and it is well-correlated with results obtained in previous work in where enrofloxacin kinetic
release is retarded by the presence of keratinase in the
gels.
