Diabetic wound is a major problem that often needs amputation of the concerned organ in patients suffering from diabetes. In diabetes, the prolonged phase of inflammation obstructs the further phases of healing which, in turn, lead to improper healing of the wounds in diabetes. Pioglitazone (Pio) hydrochloride is an antidiabetic drug with reported anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of this study was to develop a Pio-nanostructured lipid carrier (Pio-NLC)-loaded collagen/chitosan (COL-CS) scaffold and evaluate its healing ability in diabetic wounds. The results of characterization of composite scaffolds reveal that cross-linked scaffolds possess optimum porosity, low matrix degradation, and sustained drug release compared with noncross-linked scaffolds. The in vitro studies reveal that the Pio-NLC-COL-CS scaffold was biocompatible and enhanced cell growth compared with control and NLC-COL-CS. Using the streptozotocin-induced diabetic wound model, significantly (p < 0.001) higher rates of wound contraction in Pio-NLC-COL-CS scaffold-treated group were observed in comparison with that in control and NLC-COL-CS-treated group. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results indicate a significant (p < 0.001) decrease of matrix metalloproteinases-9 levels in the Pio-NLC-COL-CS-treated group compared with those in control group. Use of nanostructured lipid carrier (Pio-NLC-COL-CS) scaffold can prove to be a promising strategy for local treatment for diabetic wounds.
