Evaluation of Waste Snake Molt as a Delivery System and in Vitro Release of D-Panthenol

Abstract

Biomolecules such as collagen, silk and keratin are frequently preferred in medical fields as wound healing and drug delivery systems, thanks to their many unique properties. Keratin-based materials, which are a strong structural proteins such as feathers, hooves, hair and wool, are preferred for drug release because they are nanotoxic and biocompatible. However, no studies have been conducted on the drug release of the snake skin containing keratin as a structural protein. Controlled drug release is very important in terms of maximum benefit, minimum harm and patient comfort from therapeutic agents. In the present study, the waste shedding of Dolichophis caspius (Hazer snake, bozyoruk) which has high keratin content and widely distributed was evaluated as a drug carrier biomaterial for the first time. D-Panthenol, which is commonly used in wound healing, was loaded on three different parts of the untreated waste snake skin, dorsal scale, ventral scale and hinge, and its release properties were investigated. Average drug loading capacities for the dorsal scale, ventral scale and hinge portions, were recorded as 2.07±0.13%, 1.28%±0.04% and 1.77±0.95%. The release was measured by taking sample for every hour at least for 24 hours. In the first hour, 46.67% of the drug was released in the dorsal scale, 80.09% in the ventral scale and 69.85% in the hinge portion. Based on these results, especially the dorsal scale part was developed in future studies and it was revealed that it is a potential biomaterial for controlled drug release.
