Abstract
This study has optimised the poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nano-formulation of curcumin to prolong its retention time in the body and improve bioavailability. High-pressure emulsification-solvent-evaporation was designed to obtain curcumin-loaded PLGA nanoparticles (C-NPs) prepared with 2% of PVA containing 20% sucrose as aqueous phase and dichloromethane as oil phase. The size and entrapment efficiency of C-NPs was 158±10nm and...
