The diploma thesis if focused on the study of bioactive hydrogél and nanofiber wound dressings composed of natural biopolymers, which were functionalized by active compounds in the form of analgesic, antibiotics and enzymes. Hydrogél wound dressings were constituted from alginate and chitosan and nanofibers were created from polyhydroxybutyrate. The following 7 active compounds were selected to be added to the wound dressings: ampicillin, streptomycin, ibuprofen, papain, bromelain, collagenase and trypsin. In the theoretical part the structure of the skin and types of wound injuries were described. This part also talks about types of wound dressing and their applications, as well as treatment of skin wounds using enzymes and compounds with analgesic and antimicrobial properties. In addition, this section describes safety assays, in particular cytotoxicity assays on human cells. At the beginning of the experimental part, the process of preparation of hydrogél wound dressing was optimised. Subsequently, the dressings were enriched with active compounds and the rate of gradual releasing of the substances into model environment was monitored. In the case of enzymes, their proteolytic activity was also tested after their incorporation to the wound dressings. Furthermore, the prepared bioactive wound dressings were analyzed for possible cytotoxic effect on human keratinocytes. Finally, the wound dressing with combined content of active substances was created and also characterized for the rate of substance release, proteolytic activity and cytotoxicity. Antimicrobial activity of this wound dressings, against two selected strains of microorganisms: Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis, was also evaluated.
