Popis: We developed here stimuli responsive curcumin loaded microgels based on Pluronic F-127. These microgels were prepared using coupling reaction between the amine modified Pluronic and EDTA. The microgel exhibited the affinity for hydrophobic drug, curcumin and showed pH as well as temperature-dependent release. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity study demonstrated dose-dependent inhibition of MDA-MB-231 cell growth with the most effective IC50 value (3.8 ± 0.2 μg mL−1 after 24 h). Based on these findings, the fabricated curcumin loaded microgels offered additional advantages over conventional drug therapies for treatment of cancer.
