The main goal of this study was the design, development and characterization of a poloxamer/chitosan/hyaluronic based vehicle including three biological antioxidant molecules such as vitamins A, D and E aimed at improving the treatment of skin burns. The physical characterization of hydrogel, its mechanical and rheological properties as well as internal structure were investigated. Furthermore, biological characteristics such as ex vivo antimicrobial properties and in vivo wound healing were also accomplished and compared with a commercial reference. Results showed optimal physicochemical properties with biocompatible pH value of 4.6 +/- 0.1 and zeta potential dependent on pH. The swelling rate was around 350% with optimal wettability, adhesion and leakage properties, as well as thermosensitive gelation processes. The microbiological assay demonstrated similar antimicrobial activity to that of commercial reference. In vivo tolerance study revealed no skin reactions. Finally, the wound healing efficacy of hydrogel in skin burn model showed dermal appendages and similar epidermis, dermis and stratum corneum to the commercial reference. These findings indicated that our hydrogel loading vitamins could be considered an outstanding candidate for further clinical studies. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
