ι-Carrageenan nanocomposites for enhanced stability and oral bioavailability of curcumin
Abstract Background Carrageenan (CRN), a polygalactan consisting of 15 to 40% ester sulfate, is used in oral controlled-release technology due to its viscosity and large molecular weight. Curcumin (Cur) is a highly potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent against various diseases, such as tumo...
