This research aims to investigate how curcumin-loaded carbon dots interact and diffuse in live cells for improved drug delivery.
Utilized carbon dots to encapsulate curcumin for delivery purposes.
Examined interaction and diffusion of the curcumin-loaded carbon dots within live cells.
Assessed the effectiveness of the drug delivery system in targeting and releasing the drug.
Curcumin-loaded carbon dots demonstrated efficient targeting of specific cellular sites.
Significant improvement in drug delivery efficacy compared to free curcumin.
Understanding of the biomolecular interaction may enhance future therapeutic applications.
Abstract
Drug delivery systems for transporting hydrophobic drugs are of considerable importance for targeting molecules to specific sites of live cells. Carbon Dots (CDs) are a promising choice as a drug...
