Biocompatibility of Membranes Based on a Mixture of Chitosan and Lythri herba Aqueous Extract

In the current context of concern for improvement and protection environmental conditions, emphasis is placed on provision non-toxic, eco-friendly, renewable biomaterials to replace established chemical substances. Lythri herba aerial part plant species Lythrum salicaria L., known in scientific literature especially its content tannins total polyphenols, which highlight antioxidant, hemostatic, antibacterial antidiarrheal properties. Chitosan a biopolymer widely used industry medicine due abundance nature, biodegradability, lack toxicity ease with it can be transformed into several basic forms (hydrogel, membrane, sponge). The aqueous solutions membranes obtained this study by merging these two natural resources were biologically tested terms genotoxicity (SOS-Chromo assay), hemolytic activity, thrombin generation activity bacterial adhesion reveal outwardly properties their use medical purposes. results attest absence mutagenic slight hemolyzing properties, thus supporting possibility using extract membrane pharmaceutical therapeutic practice. surface parameters examined important influences at found. Also, showed correlation between chitosan concentrations membranes’ appearances (swelling, stability). show that could promising material biomedical applications.
