Abstract
Once a dye, curcumin (CUR) has transformed into a versatile therapeutic agent with antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. Despite its potent anticancer effects, CUR encounters challenges such as poor solubility and a short circulation half-life. To address this, researchers utilize nanocarriers like nanoparticles, liposomes, and micelles for efficient CUR delivery. With its multifaceted anticancer activity, CUR holds promise as a cancer therapeutic. Recent studies concentrate on crafting nanocarriers tailored for size, charge, and functionalization, offering adaptable tools for combinational cancer therapy. The synergistic combination of CUR with chemotherapy, magnetic nano hyperthermia, or photodynamic therapy amplifies the efficacy of malignancy treatment. The investigation into CUR-loaded nanocarriers, whether used alone or in combination with other modalities, aims to enhance cancer treatment outcomes, highlighting the diverse potential of curcumin in contemporary therapeutic strategies. This research underscores the importance of combinational drug delivery therapies, providing a renewed perspective on the versatile applications of curcumin in modern medicine.
