Functional and bioactive wound dressing materials are revolutionary for wound care and healing applications. In this concept, we fabricated alginate hydrogel (Alg) containing H2S as the wound dressing materials and assessed the morphology, swelling, degradation, and release behavior, as well as the biocompatibility, cytocompatibility, and wound healing activity. The results depicted that the prepared hydrogels have a porous structure with the pore size in the range of 50 to 100 mu m. Swelling and degradation studies showed that the hydrogel absorbed water about 179 +/- 5% of initial dry weight during 96 h and loos about 80% of the initial dry weight after 7 days. The in vitro assessments illustrated that the optimum concentration of H2S was 0.5% and the higher concentration induced hemolysis and cell toxicity. The in vivo study revealed that the treatment by Alg/H2S 0.5% induced the highest wound closure percent with a value of 98 +/- 1.22%. Moreover, the treatment by Alg/H2S 0.5% elicited the formation of sebaceous glands, hair follicles, and complete epithelization without any fibroplasia or inflammation, revealed by the histopathological observations. Accordingly, these results illustrated that the prepared Alg/H2S 0.5% could be applied as the functional and bioactive wound dressing materials. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
