Anticancer activity of Curcumin-Loaded Nanoparticles

Abstract

Curcumin (CUR) is a natural bioactive compound with different bioactivities such as anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-microbial, and anti-parasitic, but the CUR exhibited low bioavailability, poor water solubility, and rapid hydrolysis. However, this review summarized the anticancer activities of CUR-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) and their ability to enhance CUR water solubility and increased loading efficiency in an in vitro and in vivo animal model.
