In the current study, a core-shell nanofibrous wound dressing based on Pluronic-F127 (F127) containing 2 wt% mupirocin (Mup) core and pectin (Pec)-keratin (Kr) shell was fabricated through coaxial electrospinning technique, and the blended nanofibers were also fabricated from the same materials. The fiber diameter and specific surface area of the blended nanofibers were about 101.56 nm and 20.16 m²/g, while for core-shell nanofibers they were about 97.32 nm and 25.26 m²/g, respectively. The resultant blended and core-shell nanofibers experienced a degradation of 27.65 % and 32.28 % during 7 days, respectively. The drug release profile of core-shell nanofibers revealed a sustained release of Mup over 7 days (87.66 %), while the blended F127-Pec-Kr-Mup nanofibers had a burst release within the first few hours (89.38 % up to 48 h) and a cumulative release of 91.36 % after 7 days. Due to the controlled …
