dc.description.abstractOleuropein, the principal secoiridoid phenolic compound of olive leaves (Olea europaea L.), is recognized for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial, antibiofilm, antioxidant, and tissue regenerative properties. However, its effective local therapeutic application remains chal lenging due to rapid clearance from the site of administration and limited residence time. In this study, an oleuropein-rich aqueous olive leaf extract was incorporated into a ther moresponsive sol–gel delivery system designed for localized application. The formulation was engineered to remain in a low-viscosity sol state at room temperature and to undergo a temperature-triggered sol-to-gel transition near physiological temperature (~33 ◦C), en abling in situ gel formation. Oleuropein content was quantified using a validated HPLC method, and the formulation was characterized with respect to physicochemical parame ters, thermoreversible gelation behavior, particle size distribution, mechanical properties, and spreadability. Biological performance was evaluated through in vitro cytocompati bility (MTT assay), fibroblast migration (scratch assay), and collagen deposition (Sirius Red staining) in L929 fibroblasts, as well as antibiofilm activity against representative Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. The developed sol–gel system demon strated stable physicochemical characteristics, rapid and reversible thermogelation, suitable mechanical and spreading properties, concentration-dependent inhibition of biofilm for mation, and acceptable cytocompatibility within the tested concentration range. Notably, the formulation supported fibroblast viability and collagen-associated responses at opti mized concentrations. Overall, the results indicate that the proposed thermoresponsive sol–gel formulation represents a promising strategy for the localized delivery of oleuropein rich olive leaf extract, combining physicochemical stability with dual wound-healing and antibiofilm functionality.
