This in vitro skin study determined absorption, diffusion, and binding rates of four [14C]-labeled nanoparticles (NPs): 12 nm Fe3O4, 32 nm Fe3O4@SiO2, 33 nm SiO2, and 78 nm SiO2 in each layer of human cadaver skin. In vitro microdialysis device and flow-through skin diffusion system were used to measure the binding affinity to the stratum corneum (SC) and permeability into/through skin layer of the four NPs with different physical–chemical properties, respectively, in short (30 min) and/or long (24 hours) exposures. Results show that NP size is an important factor affecting NP percutaneous absorption. The 12 nm Fe3O4 NPs reached the SC and viable epidermis; 32 nm Fe3O4@SiO2 core/shell NPs only reached SC. However, 33 nm and 78 nm silica NPs did not permeate SC. Similar patterns were observed for NP binding affinity to SC and dermatopharmacokinetic analysis using the tape stripping method. The binding affinity determination may be a useful method to efficiently screen skin penetration of NPs.

The purpose of this study was to synthesize and characterize novel biocompatible topical polymeric film and hydrogel systems that have the potential to deliver the antibacterial agent thymoquinone (TQ) directly to the skin target site to manage the local wound infection and thereby wound healing. The polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) matrix-type films containing TQ were prepared by the solvent casting method. In vitro skin permeation studies on human cadaver skin produced a mean flux of 2.3 µg TQ/cm2/h. Human keratinocyte monolayers subjected to a scratch wound (an in vitro wound healing assay) showed 85% wound closure at day 6 in the TQ group (100 ng/mL TQ) as compared to 50% in the vehicle control group (p = 0.0001). In a zone-of-inhibition (ZOI) assay, TQ-containing films and hydrogels completely wiped out Staphylococcus aureus in 10 cm diameter Tryptic Soy Agar plates while 500 µg/mL gentamicin containing filters gave 10 mm of ZOI. In an ex vivo model, TQ-containing films eradicated bacterial colonization on human cadaver skin. Furthermore, in a full-thickness wound infection model in mice, TQ-containing films showed significant activity in controlling Staphylococcus aureus infection, thereby disinfecting the skin wound. In summary, TQ-containing PVP films and hydrogels developed in this study have the potential to treat and manage wound infections.
