Abstract EN
Curcumin is a lipophilic molecule with an active ingredient in the herbal remedy and dietary spice turmeric.
It is used by different folks for treatment of many diseases.
Recent studies have discussed poor bioavailability of curcumin because of poor absorption, rapid metabolism, and rapid systemic elimination.
Nanotechnology is an emerging field that is potentially changing the way we can treat diseases through drug delivery with curcumin.
The recent investigations established several approaches to improve the bioavailability, to increase the plasma concentration, and to enhance the cellular permeability processes of curcumin.
Several types of nanoparticles have been found to be suitable for the encapsulation or loading of curcumin to improve its therapeutic effects in different diseases.
Nanoparticles such as liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, micelles, nanogels, niosomes, cyclodextrins, dendrimers, silvers, and solid lipids are emerging as one of the useful alternatives that have been shown to deliver therapeutic concentrations of curcumin.
This review shows that curcumin’s therapeutic effects may increase to some extent in the presence of nanotechnology.
The presented board of evidence focuses on the valuable special effects of curcumin on different diseases and candidates it for future clinical studies in the realm of these diseases.
