摘要

Chronic non-healing wounds typically arise from bacterial adhesion and colonization. Plumbagin (PLB), a secondary metabolite derived from Droseraceae, Plumbaginaceae, and Ebenceae, exhibits potent antibacterial activity. In this study, zeolite imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) was utilized to encapsulate Plumbagin, constructing the nanoparticle PLB@ZIF. In both in vitro antibacterial experiments and in vivo wound healing assays, PLB@ZIF demonstrated effective synergistic therapy against methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). In addition, compared to PLB or ZIF-8 alone, PLB@ZIF exhibited superior antibacterial efficacy. These results suggested that ZIF-8 significantly enhances the antibacterial efficiency of Plumbagin in wound healing, highlighting the broad application potential of PLB@ZIF for treating wound infection caused by MRSA and E. coli.
