Polygalacturonic acid (Galacturonic acid polymer) is transparent colloid, is a major component of the cell wall. Polygalacturonic acid can be used to prepare silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that protect cells from destructive effect of elevated ROS and accelerate wound healing. Polygalacturonic acid nanoparticles also displays anti-bacterial activity^[1][2].

Polygalacturonic acid can be used to format a durable hydrogel, to prolong the effect of drugs. Polygalacturonic acid hydrogel/hyaluronate, conjugatedIbuprofen(HY-78131) for example, prevents epidural fibrosis, the severe scar tissue adhesion of laminectomized male adult rats, and increases the efficiency of local inflammation control and reduces the side-effect ofIbuprofen^[1].
Polygalacturonic acid hydrogel/hyaluronate (PGA-HA) (2%, 200 μL; 24 h) shows low cytotoxicity on L929 fibroblasts^[1].
Polygalacturonic acid (PGA) preparing (Ag-PGA/HA)-PVA nanoparticles, shows anti-bacterial activity against gram-positive bacterial strains;Bacillus SubtilisandStaphylococcus Aureus, as well as gram-negative bacterial strain;Escherichia Coli^[2].

Polygalacturonic acid (external application; 14 d) enhances a quick healing of wound infection in albino rats^[2].
