Clinically validated dosages were used for both products, and plasma levels of all three major curcumi- noids [curcumin (1a), demethoxycurcumin (1b), and bisde- methoxycurcumin (1c)] were evaluated. Total curcuminoid absorption was about 29-fold higher for Meriva than for its corresponding unformulated curcuminoid mixture, but only phase-2 metabolites could be detected, and plasma concentrations were still significantly lower than those required for the inhibition of most anti-inflammatory targets of curcumin. Remarkably, phospholipid formulation increased the absorption of demethoxylated curcuminoids much more than that of curcumin (1a), with significant differences in plasma curcuminoid profile between Meriva and its corresponding unformulated curcuminoid mixture. Thus, the major plasma curcuminoid after administration of Meriva was not curcumin (1a), but demethoxycurcumin (1b), a more potent analogue in many in vitro anti-inflammatory assays. The improved absorption, and possibly also a better plasma curcuminoid profile, might underlie the clinical efficacy of Meriva at doses significantly lower than unformulated curcuminoid mixtures. ver the past few decades, preclinical and clinical evidence poorly bioavailable, with only conjugates being generally detect- Ohas been accumulating that the pathological mechanisms able in plasma even after dosages as high as 12 g/day.8,10 involved in chronic diseases are multifactorial and that these Two major strategies have been pursued to improve the conditions are therefore better addressed with a multitargeted bioavailability of curcumin.8 The first is a combination with À rather than a monotargeted therapy.1 3 The promiscuous target- adjuvants capable of increasing the absorption of curcumin, like 9 ing of multiple cellular end-points has therefore become a piperine, quercetin, or turmeric oil.

  • Formulation and Evaluation of Curcumin Loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles by Hot Homogenization Method by Employing Glyceryl Monostearate
    ISSN: 2455-2631 © December 2018 IJSDR | Volume 3, Issue 12 FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF CURCUMIN LOADED SOLID LIPID NANOPARTICLES BY HOT HOMOGENIZATION METHOD BY EMPLOYING GLYCERYL MONOSTEARATE 1Shruti Madderla, 2Dr. P.Tripura sundari RBVRR Women’s College of Pharmacy, Osmania University, Barkatpura, Hyderabad, India. ABSTRACT: Curcumin was naturally occurring agent with poor solubility also with a bioavailability of 3%. It is useful in many potential pharmacological effects including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant and anticancer activities. It was also proved against cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, liver problems, rheumatic arthritis, diabetics, Parkinson’s disease and neurological disorders. To enhance its solubility, permeability and bioavailability nanoparticle technology is very much useful. In the present work attempts were made to prepare the SLNs of curcumin by employing Glyceryl monostearate (GMS) as solid lipid, Tween 80and soya lecithin as hydrophilic and lipophilic surfactants respectively. The five prepared formulations were evaluated for various parameters like entrapment efficiency, In Vitro drug release, particle size, Zeta potential and SEM analysis. Among all the Preparations G3 formulation was best in terms of Drug content of 85.5%, Entrapment efficiency of 72.2%, Drug release of 64.0%, Particle size of 393.1 nm with Zeta potential of -15.1 mV and was also in accordance with particle size in nano range by SEM analysis in Hot Homogenization. The present study conclusively demonstrated that the solubility of drug was improved by entrapment of drug into solid lipid carrier which led to prolongation of drug release. KEYWORDS: Glycerol Monostearate (GMS), Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), Hot Homogenization Method (HHM). 1.

Keywords: Curcuminoid, High pressure homogenization, Rice bran wax, Solid lipid nanoparticles Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the potential of using rice bran wax as a natural lipid composition for curcuminoid-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles. Methods: Blank solid lipid nanoparticle (SLN) formulations of three lipid types and concentrations; rice bran wax (RB), glyceryl behenate (GB) and cetyl palmitate (CP) at 2.5, 5 and 7.5%w/w were studied. SLN were prepared by a high pressure homogenization technique and characterized on their particle size, polydispersity index and zeta potential. SLN physical stability was also observed during storage. Curcuminoid-loaded SLN (C-SLN) were prepared and determined their physical characteristics and percentage of drug entrapment. Results: The results showed that particle size of all SLN formulations ranged in nanosize with narrow size distribution and low zeta potential which indicating a good physical stability. SLN with RB had smaller size compared to GB and CP. The mean particle size of RB-SLN was slightly increased when a lipid concentration was increased from 2.5 to 7.5%w/w.

  • Preparation of Curcuminoid Powder from Turmeric Root (Curcuma Longa Linn) for Food Ingredient Use
    Kasetsart J. (Nat. Sci.) 44 : 123 - 130 (2010) Preparation of Curcuminoid Powder from Turmeric Root (Curcuma longa Linn) for Food Ingredient Use Vipa Surojanametakul*, Prajongwate Satmalee, Janpen Saengprakai, Dalad Siliwan and Ladda Wattanasiritham ABSTRACT The tumeric (Curcuma longa Linn) Chan variety possessed higher curcuminoid than the Dang- Siam variety. The result showed that the extracting solvent could significantly alter the curcuminoid as well as the total polyphenol content of the turmeric extract. Recommended conditions for curcuminoid extract from turmeric were: ethanol, solid:liquid ratio 1:50, at 70°C for 2 hr. Preparation of curcuminoid powder from turmeric extract was performed by entrapment of the natural turmeric compound “curcuminoid” with a polysaccharide, carboxymethyl cellulose, as a complex formation and mixed with maltodextrin, prior to drying. The curcuminoid content in the powder affected the product’s qualities such as color, total phenolic compounds and antioxidant properties. Sensory evaluation of the products, in the form of turmeric tea, revealed that powder containing a level of curcuminoid of 411.28µg/g had the highest acceptance score. It also exhibited high water solubility (15g/100 ml). The total phenolic content and antioxidant capability of the product with the highest acceptance score was 13.27 as mg GAE/g and 14.46 as mg BHAE/g, respectively. The powder had a total plate count of yeast and mold <10 cfu/g and no pathogenic microorganisms were found. Storage of the powder in an aluminum foil bag at room temperature for four months only slightly changed the curcuminoid content, indicating the high stability of the product.
