Curcumin Nanoparticles Attenuate Production of Pro-inflammatory Markers in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Macrophages

Purpose The surface charge of nanoparticles is an important factor that controls efficiency and cellular uptake. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of curcumin nanoparticles (Cur-NPs) with different surface charges, in terms of toxicity, internalization, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities towards alveolar macrophages cells.
