Molecular targets
of curcumin
Step 1 : PLGA is sprayed into
supercritical CO2, in which
nanoparticles are formed by
ultrasonic vibrations
Step 2 : PLGA-curcumin
nanocapsules were obtained with
an average size of 63 nm and 38%
loaded, under ultrasonic power of
210 W, and with an average size
of 40 nm and 36% of load, at an
ultrasound capacity of 350 W
