Title
Developmental strategies of curcumin solid dispersions for enhancing bioavailability
Background:Although curcumin has been demonstrated to be beneficial in treating various diseases,its low solubility, chemical stability and bioavailability limit its application, especially in cancer therapy.Methods:Solid dispersions have been utilized in the last few decades to improve the bioavailability and stabilityof curcumin.Results:However, there is a lack of summaries and classifications of the methods for preparing curcumin withthis technology. The current review aims to overview the strategies used to develop solid dispersions containingcurcumin for improving drug delivery. The classification of techniques for creating solid dispersions for curcuminwas summarized, including systems for protecting curcumin degradation despite its chemical stability. Theapplications of advanced nanotechnologies in recent studies of solid dispersions were also discussed to explainthe roles of nanoparticles in formulations.Conclusion:This overview of recent developments in formulating solid dispersions for improving curcuminbioavailability will contribute to future studies of curcumin for clinical development.
