Abstract
Curcumin is a diverse natural pharmacological agent involved in various signal transduction mechanisms. Therapeutically, this potent molecule faces different challenges and issues related to low bioavailability due to its poor aqueous solubility, less permeability, faster elimination and clearance. Experts in synthetic chemistry and pharmaceuticals are continuously sparing their efforts to overcome these pharmacokinetic challenges by using different structural modification strategies and developing novel drug delivery systems. In this mini-review article, we are focusing on development of curcumin derivatives by different possible routes like conjugation with biomolecules, natural polymers, synthetic polymers, natural products, metal conjugates and co- administration with natural metabolic inhibitors. In addition to that, it was also focused on the preparation of modified formulations such as micelles, microemulsions, liposomes, complexes with phospholipids, micro and nanoemulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles, nano lipid carriers, biopolymer nanoparticles and microgels to improve the pharmacokinetic properties of the curcumin without altering its pharmacodynamics activity. This review helps to understand the problems associated with curcumin and different strategies to improve its pharmacokinetic profile.

Multiple-stimuli-responsiveness and conformational inversion of smart supramolecular nanoparticles assembled from spin labeled amphiphilic random copolymers. J Colloid Interface Sci 2020; 585:237-249. [PMID: 33285462 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2020.11.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2020] [Revised: 11/07/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Organic radical polymers with tailored pendant functionalities have emerged as exciting and promising materials for their application versatility. Moreover, eco-friendly polymer-based organic nanomaterials with redox-active pendant side groups can replace the harmful heavy metal-based inorganic materials. On the other hand, self-assembled nanomaterials are of great interest and attracted more attention recently for their promising application in different advanced fields, but it is yet challenging to predict suitable hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) for stimuli-responsive random copolymers assembly due to structural irregularity. Among several experimental techniques, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy plays a unique and promising role in revealing structural and dynamic information of nanostructured radical containing materials. EXPERIMENTS In this study, a series of spin labeled amphiphilic random copolymers poly(methyl methacrylate-co-acrylic acid) have been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis spectroscopies, TGA, DSC and water contact angle (CA) techniques. Their electrochemical properties have been determined by cyclic voltammetry (CV) in different organic solvents. EPR spectroscopy has been applied with other analytical techniques to elucidate the smart supramolecular nanoparticles (SNPs) formation, stimuli-responsiveness and structural changes through the dynamics of different molecular interactions. FINDINGS The structural and dynamic information of self-assembled nanoparticles have been observed to be dependent on multiple-stimuli-responsiveness in different microenvironments by applying physiological and chemical parameters such as the different concentration of radicals, pH, temperature, nature of the solvent and reducing agent. The obtained results reveal the knowledge to understand insight into the mechanism for the formation of stimuli-responsive colloidal nanoparticles assembled from amphiphilic random copolymers with apt HLB value. The CV results reveal that the charge transfer process of the nanoparticles in solution was diffusion regulated and depended on the accessibility of radicals. The radical (spin labeled) polymers offer a broad way to develop stimuli-responsive materials in various colloidal nanostructures by changing the microenvironment, appreciating their potential advanced applications in electronic devices, catalysis, stimuli-triggered drug/gene delivery and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger.

Abstract
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a popular Indian spice that has been used for centuries in herbal medicines for the treatment of a variety of ailments such as rheumatism, diabetic ulcers, anorexia, cough and sinusitis. Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) is the main curcuminoid present in turmeric and responsible for its yellow color. Curcumin has been shown to possess significant anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-carcinogenic, anti-mutagenic, anticoagulant and anti-infective effects. This review summarizes and discusses recently published papers on the key biomedical applications of curcumin based materials. The highlighted studies in the review provide evidence of the ability of curcumin to show the significant vitro antioxidant, diabetic complication, antimicrobial, neuroprotective, anti-cancer activities and detection of hypochlorous acid, wound healing, treatment of major depression, healing of paracentesis, and treatment of carcinoma and optical detection of pyrrole properties. Hydrophobic nature of this polyphenolic compound along with its rapid metabolism, physicochemical and biological instability contribute to its poor bioavailability. To redress these problems several approaches have been proposed like encapsulation of curcumin in liposomes and polymeric micelles, inclusion complex formation with cyclodextrin, formation of polymer-curcumin conjugates, etc.
