Nanoencapsulation Transforms Curcumin’s Antiparasitic Activity: Reduced Dose and Altered Mechanism in Taenia crassiceps Cysticerci
Free curcumin has been shown to have a lethal effect on Taenia crassiceps cysticerci, due to its ability to interfere with the parasite’s redox metabolism. Free curcumin is highly unstable, which limits its bioavailability and reduces its efficacy as an anthelmintic drug. To overcome these constraints, we evaluated the...
