Abstract

Electrospun hybrid scaffolds are an effective platform to deliver drugs site specifically for the prevention and treatment of diseases in addition to promote tissue regeneration because of the flexibility to load drugs therein. In the present study, electrospun hybrid scaffolds containing antibiotics were developed to support cellular activities and eliminate potential postoperative inflammation and infection. As a model drug, levofloxacin (LFX) was successfully incorporated into pure polyhydroxybutyrate/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PHB/PCL) scaffolds and PHB/PCL/sol-gel-derived silica (SGS) scaffolds. The influence of LFX on the morphology, mechanical performance, chemical structure, drug release profile, and antibacterial effect of the scaffolds was thoroughly and comparatively investigated. MG-63 osteoblast-like cell cultivation on both scaffolds certified that LFX inclusion did not impair the biocompatibility. In addition to the favorable cellular proliferation and differentiation, scaffolds containing both LFX and SGS displayed highly increased mineralization content. Therefore, the present multifunctional hybrid scaffolds are promising in tissue engineering applications.
