Introduction: Chemotherapy remains essential despite advances in immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and biological therapy. However, the wide range of chemical drugs is limited by a narrow therapeutic index, low selectivity, and the development of resistance. In this regard, new high-efficiency drugs are in extremely high demand.

Objectives: This study focused on synthesizing and characterizing novel thiosemicarbazide derivatives containing a 1,2,4-triazole moiety and evaluating their antimicrobial activity against several bacterial strains. The research aimed to identify key structural features that enhance antimicrobial efficacy through structure-activity relationship analysis and identify the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the most potent compounds to assess their potential for further development as antimicrobial agents.

Materials And Methods: Nine novel thiosemicarbazide derivatives containing a 1,2,4-triazole moiety were synthesized by reacting 1,2,4-triazole derivatives with thiosemicarbazide precursors, and the products were characterized using infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR), carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (C-NMR) spectroscopy, and elemental analysis.

Bacterial burn wound infections can disrupt the natural wound-healing process, leading to life-threatening diseases. This study aimed to investigate the use of glycerosomes as a novel system for the topical delivery of cefoperazone to promote its burn wound healing action. Cefoperazone-loaded glycerosomes (CEFO-GLY) were optimized using a 2 full-factorial design and prepared via the thin film hydration method.

Conventional wound dressings primarily focus on biochemical regulation, often neglecting the potential benefits of mechanical cues in tissue regeneration. We report a Janus hydrogel (QPJ hydrogel) that synergistically integrates biochemical modulation with temperature-responsive mechanical contraction for advanced chronic wound management. The hydrogel is constructed from quaternary ammonium chitosan (QCS) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), with an outer PNIPAM layer that generates a directional contractile stress >25 kPa at physiological temperature.
