Feathered innovation: transforming recycled keratin into bioactive micro/nanoparticles for bioactive keratin-based delivery platform
Abstract
in the keratin-based delivery platform compared to pure amoxicillin can be attributed to the successful and controlled release of the drug from the particles. Consequently, these particles exhibit promising potential as a delivery system, offering simultaneous antioxidant and potentially antimicrobial properties. The potential resistance of amoxicillin is acknowledged, but amoxicillin remains a relevant model drug for initial exploration of keratin-based delivery platforms. Further studies may explore the combination with other antibiotics for enhanced efficacy. The safety and purity of SubCW-extracted keratin are assured as it undergoes rigorous analysis, including SDS-PAGE and FTIR spectroscopy.
