The Significance of Quercetin-Loaded Advanced Nanoformulations for The Management of Diabetic Wounds

Abstract

Quercetin is a well-known plant flavanol that exhibits multiple biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. The role of quercetin in wound healing has been widely explored by a range of researchers in different models. However, the physicochemical properties, such as solubility and permeability, of this compound are low, which ultimately limits its bioavailability on the target site. To overcome these limitations for successful therapy, scientists have developed a range of nanoformulations that provide effective therapeutic potential. In this review, the broad mechanism of quercetin for acute and chronic wounds is covered. A compilation of recent advances on the horizon of wound healing via quercetin is incorporated with several advanced nanoformulations.

Ciprofloxacin-Loaded Inhalable Formulations against Lower Respiratory Tract Infections: Challenges, Recent Advances, and Future Perspectives

“…Liposomes serve as lipid bilayer structures that encapsulate drugs, functioning as reservoirs to prolong drug release rates and enhance lung exposure periods. They have been widely utilized to load various drugs and treat diverse diseases [51,52]. Liposomal CFX formulations have been created to extend lung residence duration, lessening the need for multiple daily administrations of inhaled antimicrobial therapy.…”

Revolutionizing Wound Healing: Exploring Scarless Solutions through Drug Delivery Innovations

“…Various methods in tissue engineering and bioactive wound matrices have been employed to accelerate wound healing. , However, scarring remains a significant challenge. Several clinical treatments and nonsurgical strategies, such as laser therapy, radiotherapy, and topical medications, have been developed to tackle scarring, but achieving complete functional recovery remains elusive. , The process of skin healing is intricate and involves the coordinated interaction of cells, growth factors (GFs), cytokines, pathways, and extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis. , Disruption of the delicate balance among these factors can lead to the formation of scars. Despite advancements in concurrent administration of multiple GFs, cytokines, and cells to wound matrices, achieving scarless outcomes still presents a challenge. , The process of wound healing involves sequential stages of inflammation, granulation, and remodeling, during which inflammatory reactions and angiogenesis are dynamically regulated to control the production of ECM and ultimately determine scar formation .…”
