Abstract
The diabetic wound is excessively vulnerable to infection because the diabetic wound suggests delayed and incomplete healing techniques. Presently, wounds and ulcers related to diabetes have additionally increased the medical burden. A diabetic wound can impair mobility, lead to amputations, or even death. In recent times, advanced drug delivery systems have emerged as promising approaches for enhancing the efficacy of wound healing treatments in diabetic patients. This review aims to provide an overview of the current advancements in drug delivery systems in managing chronic diabetic wound healing. This review begins by discussing the pathophysiological features of diabetic wounds, including impaired angiogenesis, elevated reactive oxygen species, and compromised immune response. These factors contribute to delayed wound healing and increased susceptibility to infection. The importance of early intervention and effective wound management strategies is emphasized. Various types of advanced drug delivery systems are then explored, including nanoparticles, hydrogels, transferosomes, liposomes, niosomes, dendrimers, and nanosuspension with incorporated bioactive agents and biological macromolecules are also utilized for chronic diabetes wound management. These systems offer advantages such as sustained release of therapeutic agents, improved targeting and penetration, and enhanced wound closure. Additionally, the review highlights the potential of novel approaches such as antibiotics, minerals, vitamins, growth factors gene therapy, and stem cell-based therapy in diabetic wound healing. The outcome of advanced drug delivery systems holds immense potential in managing chronic diabetic wound healing. They offer innovative approaches for delivering therapeutic agents, improving wound closure, and addressing the specific pathophysiological characteristics of diabetic wounds.
