Comparative Study on the Effect of Nano Curcumin Complexes as Antitumor in Mice

Abstract

Cancer is undoubtedly one of the main health concerns facing our society. It is the second leading cause of death in economically developed countries. In conventional chemotherapy treatment, the anticancer drugs get to tumor site with poor specificity and dose-limiting nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity. Nanotechnology is constantly being encouraged to overcome numerous limitations of conventional drug delivery systems since the later fails to efficiently distinguish between cancerous and normal cells. Nanomedicine and nano delivery systems are a relatively new but rapidly developing science where materials in the nanoscale range are employed to serve as means of diagnostic tools or to deliver chemopreventive agents to specific targeted sites in a controlled manner.
