Ciprofloxacin-Collagen Conjugate in the Wound Healing Treatment

Ciprofloxacin-Collagen Conjugate in the Wound Healing Treatment

The synthesis of a novel functional biomaterial for wound healing treatment was carried out by adopting a free-radical grafting procedure in aqueous media. With this aim, ciprofloxacin (CFX) was covalently incorporated into collagen (T1C) chains employing an ascorbic acid/hydrogen peroxide redox pai...
