Preparation and evaluation of the anti-cancer properties of RGD-modified curcumin-loaded chitosan/perfluorohexane nanocapsules in vitro

Curcumin (Cur) encapsulation in nanocapsules (NCs) could improve its availability and therapeutic antitumor efficacy. Cur-loaded chitosan/perfluorohexane (CS/PFH) nanocapsules (CS/PFH-Cur-NCs) were thus synthesized via a nanoemulsion process. To further enhance the selective tumor targeting ability...
