  Abstract

Drug delivery for neuroprotection/neuroregeneration after traumatic peripheral nerve injuries still remains a challenge. For this purpose, we formulated composite nanofiber formulation for the dual local delivery of alpha lipoic acid (ALA) and atorvastatin (ATR) to enhance regeneration process after peripheral nerve injury. The initial stage involved encapsulation of ATR into nanosprayed chitosan (CH) nanoparticles after which the CH nanoparticles were embedded into poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanofibers containing freely dispersed ALA within the fiber structure. Morphology investigations revealed that smooth and randomly aligned nanofibers with mean diameter of 340
