Popis: | Curcumin (CUR)is a natural extract from the plant Curcuma longa and part of turmeric, a spice and herbal remedy in traditional medicine. Thousands of papers claim a plethora of health benefits by CUR, but a growing number of reports and contributions caution that many experimental data may be artifacts or outright deny any suitability of CUR due to its problematic physicochemical properties. Two major issues often encountered with CUR are its extraordinarily low solubility in water and its limited chemical stability. Here, we report on a novel nanoformulation of CUR that enables CUR concentrations in water of at least 50 g/L with relative drug loadings of >50 wt% and high dose efficacy testing in 3D tumor models. Despite this high loading and concentration, the CUR nanoformulation comprises polymer-drug aggregates with a size |
