Results: Results showed that Nio-Curc had a mean particle size of 284.93 ± 14.27 nm, zeta potential of -46.93 and encapsulation efficacy of 99.62%, which demonstrates optimized physicochemical characteristics. Curcumin release in vitro could be sustained for up to 24 h. Additionally, Nio-Curc effectively reduced mRNA transcript expression of pro-inflammatory markers; IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β and TNF-a in immortalized human airway basal cell line (BCi-NS1.1). Conclusion: In this study, we have demonstrated that Nio-Curc mitigated the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory markers in an in vitro study, which could be applied to treatment of asthma with further studies.]]> Tue 03 May 2022 12:13:38 AEST ]]> Targeting cancer using curcumin encapsulated vesicular drug delivery systems https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46350 Fri 18 Nov 2022 10:03:52 AEDT ]]>
