Abstract:Nanocapsules of curcumin-zein as core and polycaprolactone-mucilage (PCL-MUC) as a shell were effectively made by using an electrospray process for drug delivery applications. Because of its anticancer and anti-inflammatory qualities, curcumin (Cur) was chosen as a model medicine, and its stability was improved by combining it with zein. The monodisperse and spherical shapes of CUR-ZEIN@PCL-MUC nanocapsules with an average diameter of 200 nm were obtained and validated by SEM and TEM images by altering spinnin… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
