Abstract
⺠Galactosylated chitosan-polycaprolactone is synthesized for delivery of curcumin. ⺠Initial load of curcumin in the resulting nanoparticles reaches around 6%. ⺠Curcumin release from nanoparticles is controlled by polycaprolactone component. ⺠Nanoparticles have hepatocyte-targeted specificity toward HepG2 cells. ⺠Bioavailability of curcumin can be greatly improved using these nanoparticles.
