[ 1 ] - Novel nanomicelle formulation to enhance bioavailability and stability of curcuminoids

Objective(s): Curcuminoids, comprising curcumin, demethoxycurcumin (DMC) and bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC), are bioactive phytochemicals with numerous pharmacological effects. Oral biological availability of curcuminoids is low due to the low aqueous solubility and rapid metabolism. This study aimed at fabricating a nanomicellar curcuminoid formula with enhanced pharmacokinetic properties. Materi...

[ 2 ] - Chemotherapeutic activity of Silymarin combined with doxorubicin liposomes in 4T1 breast cancer cells
