Popis: | This study aimed to investigate the particle size effect on bioactivity, cellular internalization and bioavailability of curcumin (CUR) nanosuspension (CUR-NS). CUR-NSs of different particle sizes were prepared by two different anti-solvent precipitation methods. CUR-NS with the smallest size showed similar in vitro anticancer activity and bioavailability to the CUR solution, whereas nanosuspensions of larger particle sizes displayed higher in vitro cellular internalization and cytotoxicity, as well as higher in vivo AUC and slower clearance rate after i.v. administration in rats. CUR solution and different sized CUR-NSs reached the highest concentrations in the lung, followed by liver and spleen while the lowest concentration was observed in the brain after i.v. administration in mice. Specifically, CUR-NS of 70nm accumulated more in the brain, whereas CUR-NS of 200nm accrued more in liver and spleen. CUR-NS of 20nm displayed no significant biodistribution difference compared with CUR solution in all tissues. |
