Pharmacokinetic studies and anticancer activity of curcumin-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers by Wang Fengling, Chen Jin, Dai Wenting, He Zhengmin, Zhai Dandan, Chen Weidong

“…In addition, the anticancer activity of Cur-NLC against human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells was verified by a cellular uptake study, and a cytotoxicity and apoptosis assay. Bioavailability of Cur-NLC was better than that of native curcumin (p > 0.01), as seen from the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), mean residence time (MRT) and total plasma clearance (CLz/F). …”
