Abstract

Curcumin, the constituent of Curcuma longa, is considered a very promising anticancer agent due to its potent and pleiotropic antineoplastic activity and low nonspecific toxicity to normal cells (1). However the clinical realization of its potential has been limited due to its poor aqueous solubility (11ng/ml) and very low systemic bioavailability. A possible aproach to overcome these limitations is the design of nanosized vechicles of curcumin.
The present work reports the preparation, characterization and in vitro evaluation of antineoplastic activity of curcumin loaded calixarenes-in liposomes nanoparticles.
