Encapsulation of curcumin in polymeric nanoparticles for antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy.

Encapsulation of curcumin in polymeric nanoparticles for antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy.

Curcumin (CUR) has been used as photosensitizer in antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT). However its poor water solubility, instability, and scarce bioavalibility hinder its in vivo application. The aim of this study was to synthesize curcumin in polymeric nanoparticles (NP) and to evaluate the...
