Zeolite Nanoporous Materials Loaded with Curcumin as Anti-Cancer Drug Delivery Systems
In this work, a combination of different techniques has been used to assess the potential
use of zeolite nanoporous materials for the delivery of natural bioactive curcumin.
Curcumin is a water-insoluble drug extracted from turmeric (Curcuma longa) plant. In
recent years, the potential anticancer effect of curcumin in suppressing many types of
cancers, while showing a synergistic antitumor effect with other anticancer agents, has
attracted great attention. However, the poorly soluble formulation of curcumin is a
