“…linoleic acid -LNA, palmitic acid -PAC, and oleic acid -OA) allows the obtainment of CUR delivery nanocarriers suitable for the treatment of cervical (Sahu et al, 2008a;Song et al, 2014), brain (Erfani-Moghadam et al, 2014, and lung tumors (Erfani-Moghadam et al, 2014), with superior efficiency and pharmacokinetics (Song et al, 2014). A different approach involves the employment of 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000] in a thin-layer evaporation methods for the preparation of CUR micelles able to treat ovarian Sarisozen et al, 2014) and colon (Abouzeid et al, 2013) cancer cells in vitro and in vivo (Abouzeid et al, 2013;Sarisozen et al, 2014), conferring synergistic effect to PTX- and DOX- (Abouzeid et al, 2013) based therapies.…”
