چکیده مقاله:

Curcumin is a hydrophobic polyphenol extracted from the plant curcuma longa with establishedanticancer properties. However, curcumin benefits have been impaired by its very low watersolubility, low absorption, rapid metabolism and clearance from the body. Recently,nanotechnology promises to be helpful in development of drugs delivery systems by recentadvances in macromolecular design of nanocarriers. In this review, we present the novelgeneration of nano-vehicles termed dendrosomes which are readily synthesized fromesterification of oleic acid and polyethylene glycol residues. Dendrosomes efficientlyencapsulate curcumin in a spherical micellar or polymersome structures which leads to increaseaqueous solubility of this hydrophobic agent and higher bioavailability of curcumin. Anticancerpotency of this nanoformulation was confirmed in different mouse and human cancercells including fibrosarcoma, colon, glioblastoma, bladder, gastric, breast and hepatocellularcarcinoma in vitro and vivo. It has also demonstrated that this nano preparation has nocytotoxicity effects on normal cells. Finally, these results introduce dendrosomal curcumin aspotent anti-tumor agent although further clinical examinations are needed.

Anticancer Properties of Curcumin

Curcumin is a major biological active compound from turmeric or Curcuma longa. This nontoxic natural compound has been reported to possess several biological activities that are therapeutically beneficial to cancer treatment. It has been reported to increase the efficacy of other chemotherapeutic agents and to reduce their toxic side effects which are the major drawback of most chemotherapeutic...

Anticancer Activities of Curcumin

Curcumin, an active constituent of Curcuma longa, is responsible for the for anticarcinogenic activities which is mediated through multiple mechanisms. Curcumin affects the major transcription factors such as nuclear factor k-light chain-enhancer of activated B cell(NF-kB) and activator protein-1 (AP-1).These factors regulate inflammation and are responsible for cell proliferation, differentiat...

Curcumin nanoparticles improve the physicochemical properties of curcumin and effectively enhance its antioxidant and antihepatoma activities.

Curcumin (CUR), a natural polyphenol isolated from tumeric ( Curcuma longa ), has been documented to possess antioxidant and anticancer activities. Unfortunately, the compound has poor aqueous solubility, which results in poor bioavailability following high doses by oral administration. To improve the solubility of CUR, we developed a novel curcumin nanoparticle system (CURN) and investigated i...

Dendrosomal Curcumin Inhibits Metastatic Potential of SW480 Colon Cancer Cells

Colorectal cancer (CRCs) is the third most common cancer in men and the second in women (Ferlay et al., 2008; Ku et al., 2012). Generally, the lowest incidence rates among both men and women are reported in Africa, Central and South America, and South Central Asia (India and Pakistan) (Ferlay et al., 2008; Ku et al., 2012). The prognosis for advanced CRCs remains dismal, mainly due to the prope...

Contribution of degradation products to the anticancer activity of curcumin.

To the Editors: The recent interesting article by Dhillon et al. (1) evaluated the clinical biological effects of curcumin against advanced pancreatic cancer. One important puzzle arising from this study involves how the biological activities are done with the precondition of the low nanogram levels of circulating curcumin (only 22-41 ng/mL were detectable in plasma even at oral dose of 8 g/d; ...
