PG - 6418 LID - 10.1038/s41598-019-42842-2 [doi] LID - 6418 AB - Doxycycline (DOX) and amoxicillin (AMOX) are important Broad-spectrum antibiotics used in treating multiple human and animal diseases. For the sake of exploring novel medical applications, both antibiotics were loaded into magnesium aluminium layer double hydroxide (Mg-Al)/LDH nanocomposite through the co-precipitation method. The synthesized materials were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, particle size analysis, FESEM and HRTEM. Acute toxicological studies were conducted using median lethal dose LD(50), where a total number of 98 rats (200-150 gm) of both sexes were used. An experimental wound was aseptically incised on the anterior-dorsal side of each rat, while 98% of pure medical ethanol was used for ulcer induction. Acute toxicity, wound closure rate, healing percentages, ulcer index, protective rate and histopathological studies were investigated. Antibiotic Nanocomposites has significantly prevented ulcer formation and improved wound healing process to take shorter time than that of the typical processes, when compared with that of same drugs in microscale systems or commercial standard drugs. These results were confirmed by the histopathological findings. By converting it into the Nanoform, which is extremely important, especially with commonly used antibiotics, novel pharmacological properties were acquired from the antibiotics. The safe uses of DOX/LDH and AMOX/LDH Nanocomposites in this study were approved for biomedical applications.
