Curcumin-Loaded Ligand-Conjugated Chitosan Nanoparticles: A Comparative Study of Folic Acid, Phenylalanine, and Butyric Acid Conjugates for Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer therapy requires drug delivery systems that improve treatment efficacy and minimize systemic toxicity. In this study, chitosan-based nanoparticles were fabricated and functionalized with folic acid (FA), phenylalanine (PA), and butyric acid (BA) to enhance the delivery of curcumin to Caco-2 cancer cel...
