摘 要:Objective:To characterize a nanoemulsion containing a synergistic combination of curcumin(CUR)and quercetin(QUE)for brain targeting through the ***:The synergistic activity of the combination of two phytoconstituents,curcumin and quercetin(CUR-QUE)was determined at a 2:1 *** containing the synergistic combination were prepared using high-pressure homogenization *** formulation was characterized for globule size,drug content,thermodynamic stability,zeta potential measurement,and drug *** studies were performed using isolated nasal mucosa of ***,in vivo studies using allograft model were ***:CUR-QUE in a 2:1 ratio combination showed the lowest combination index values 0.99(combination index1)for treatment of human glioblastoma U373-MG *** combination inhibited the growth of human glioblastoma U373 MG *** significant drug targeting efficiency percentage(178.25±2.86 for CUR and 170.54±6.11 for QUE)and nose to brain drug direct transport percentage(44.05±0.93 for CUR and 38.25±0.83 for QUE)of optimized nanoemulsion(F9)indicated effective central nervous system targeting via the intranasal *** vivo anticancer study using allograft model of nude mice demonstrated potential anticancer activity of the synergistic combination of CUR-QUE as compared to ***:This study demonstrates that synergistic combination of CUR-QUE was optimal for treatment of human ***,significant site-specific delivery to the brain was achieved by administering nanoemulsion through the *** study also reveals that intranasal delivery of nanoemulsion containing synergistic combination of CUR and QUE could be a promising strategy for brain tumor treatment.
