Exploring solid lipid nanoparticles to enhance the oral bioavailability of curcumin

Scope : Curcumin, a molecule with pluripharmacological properties, was loaded into solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) with a view to improve its oral bioavailability (BA). Methods and results : Curcumin‐loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (C‐SLNs) with an average particle size of 134.6 nm and a total drug content of 92.33±1.63% was produced using a microemulsification technique. The particles were spherical in shape, with high drug entrapment of...
