Chemical Features and Therapeutic Applications of Curcumin (A Review)

Antibacterial activity and sustained release properties of curcumin-loaded chitosan microspheres/nanofiber composites membranes for wound healing applications

“…[10][11][12] Curcumin is an ideal candidate for bioactive dressing materials for its multiple bio functions such as disinfection, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer. 13 However, its short half-life in the human body and difficulty in biodegradation has hindered its application in bioactive wound dressing materials. To improve the bioavailability of curcumin, chitosan was used as its carrier, because chitosan has good advantages of antibacterial properties, biocompatibility, abundant modification sites, and good processing properties.…”
