Furthermore, introducing a therapeutic compound with low-side effects as well as low-price for consumersis controversial. Recent efforts have been focusing on traditional medicines as a rich source of herbal agents. Curcumin,the major turmeric phytochemical, has been widely assessed as an anti-cancer compound in vitro and in vivo. However,the use of curcumin in cancer treatment has limitations because of its low solubility, poor tissue absorption, rapidmetabolism and rapid systemic elimination. Recent work has focused on improving the stability of curcumin to facilitateclinical application. Dendrosomal nano-corcumin (DNC) is one of the most successful compounds showing significantcellular absorption and also anti-tumor effects. The present overview of newest applicable strategies for curcumin-basedtherapy and their clinical potential usefulness has the emphasis on DNC. %U https://journal.waocp.org/article_46238_aad2ec5096e482bf4f2331db084c1dec.pdf
