Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) regulates cellular responses to inflammation and aging, and alterations in NF-κB signaling underlie the pathogenesis of multiple human diseases. Effective clinical therapeutics targeting this pathway remain unavailable. In primary human keratinocytes, we found that hypochlorite (HOCl) reversibly inhibited the expression of CCL2 and SOD2, two NF-κB–dependent genes. In cultured cells, HOCl inhibited the activity of inhibitor of NF-κB kinase (IKK), a key regulator of NF-κB activation, by oxidizing cysteine residues Cys114 and Cys115. In NF-κB reporter mice, topical HOCl reduced LPS-induced NF-κB signaling in skin. We further evaluated topical HOCl use in two mouse models of NF-κB–driven epidermal disease. For mice with acute radiation dermatitis, topical HOCl inhibited the expression of NF-κB–dependent genes, decreased disease severity, and prevented skin ulceration. In aged mice, topical HOCl attenuated age-dependent production of p16INK4a and expression of the DNA repair gene Rad50. Additionally, skin of aged HOCl-treated mice acquired enhanced epidermal thickness and proliferation, comparable to skin in juvenile animals. These data suggest that topical HOCl reduces NF-κB–mediated epidermal pathology in radiation dermatitis and skin aging through IKK modulation and motivate the exploration of HOCl use for clinical aims.

ABSTRACT

Biofilms are a key driver of chronicity and treatment failure in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), yet clinical evidence quantifying their impact and management remains fragmented. This systematic narrative review synthesised recent evidence (2015–2025) on the prevalence, diagnostics, and management of biofilm in DFUs. A Systematic Review of the Literature (SRL) was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines across PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane Library and ScienceDirect. Eligible studies included adults with DFUs reporting biofilm/bioburden metrics or interventions aimed at biofilm disruption. Risk of bias was assessed using RoB 2 for randomised trials and ROBINS-I for non-randomised studies. Data were narratively synthesised by evidence tier (Tier 1=clinical; Tier 2=preclinical/mechanistic). Of 600 records screened, 25 studies met inclusion criteria (Tier 1 n=9; Tier 2 n=5; reviews n=11). Over half of bacterial isolates in DFUs were biofilm producers, with multidrug resistance exceeding 90% in several cohorts. Fungi were detected in 31% of ulcers by qPCR but only 9% by culture. Tier 1 clinical evidence supports standard care components—debridement, antiseptics, and negative-pressure wound therapy—for improved healing, though direct anti-biofilm outcomes remain limited. Emerging strategies (enzymatic agents, peptides, cold plasma, smart dressings) show promise in vitro but lack clinical translation. Evidence for direct antibiofilm efficacy in DFUs remains scarce. Current data justify maintaining guideline-based care while prioritising trials that integrate validated biofilm endpoints, standardised microbiological methods, and antifungal components. Distinguishing established from experimental approaches is essential to advancing safe, evidence-based biofilm management in DFUs.

Abstract

Management of diabetic foot ulcers is the biggest challenge to the clinician, as conventional antibiotic therapies and local wound care have their own limitations. They are not effective for control of infections and promotion of healing because of cytotoxic effects. In view of cytotoxicity of routinely used topical antiseptic agents, this article focuses on the search of an ideal topical antiseptic agent that is safe and effective in controlling infectious agents and also in promoting the healing process. This review focuses on the use of various acids such as citric, acetic, hyaluronic, and hypochlorous acids as topical agents in diabetic foot infections. This article also focuses on the different roles of acids in the treatment of diabetic foot infections.

Key Words: Diabetic foot ulcer; Infection; Management; Topical agents; Acids; Role of acids

Core Tip: Diabetic foot ulcer is the most serious complication of diabetes mellitus. The biggest challenge is to find an ideal topical antiseptic agent that is safe and effective in controlling infectious agents and promoting the healing process. This article focuses on

the use of acids as topical agents to control diabetic foot infections, with special emphasis on the different roles of citric, acetic, hyaluronic, and hypochlorous acids in the effective management of diabetic foot ulcers.
