dc.descriptionCurrently, treating wounds has a high cost in the global health systems. This has led to the search for new treatment strategies that promote proper healing to meet this clinical need. This study comprises the elaboration of electrospun nanofibers with bioactive agents extracted from Baccharis Latifolia , Aerva Sanguinolenta , and Jungia Rugosa plants. The phytochemical analysis of these plants revealed the presence of several bioactive compounds, such as phenols, flavonoids, coumarins, and terpenoids, which were incorporated into a polymeric mixture of nopal mucilage and PVA. The resulting nano fibers were characterized by SEM, FTIR, and DSC techniques. The results showed that the nopal mucilage concentration affected the morphology and crystallinity of the nanofibers and that the electrospinning process produced uniform nanofibers with a higher percentage of crystallinity. Notably, nanofibers were generated at low mucilage concentrations, whereas higher concentrations yielded a combination of nanoparticles and fibers. On the other hand, antibacterial tests were carried out using the E. coli DH5 alpha strain. However, no antibacterial activity was observed for this strain.es
dc.description.abstractEn la actualidad, el tratamiento de heridas representa un alto costo en los sistemas de salud a nivel global. Esto ha llevado a la búsqueda de nuevas estrategias de tratamiento que promuevan una cicatrización adecuada para satisfacer esta necesidad clínica. Este estudio abarca la preparación de nanofibras electrohiladas con agentes bioactivos extraídos de las plantas Baccharis Latifolia, Aerva Sanguinolenta y Jungia Rugosa. El análisis fitoquímico de estas plantas reveló la presencia de varios compuestos bioactivos, como fenoles, flavonoides, cumarinas y terpenoides, que se incorporaron en una mezcla polimérica de mucílago de nopal y PVA. Las nanofibras resultantes fueron caracterizadas mediante técnicas de SEM, FTIR y DSC. Los resultados mostraron que la concentración de mucílago de nopal afectó la morfología y la cristalinidad de las nanofibras, y que el proceso de electrohilado produjo nanofibras uniformes con un mayor porcentaje de cristalinidad a bajas concentraciones de mucílago, mientras que concentraciones más altas dieron lugar a una combinación de nanopartículas y fibras. Por otro lado, se llevaron a cabo pruebas antibacterianas utilizando la cepa E. coli DH5-alpha. Sin embargo, no se observó actividad antibacteriana contra esta cepa.es
