Curcumin nanoformulations: a review of pharmaceutical properties and preclinical studies and clinical data related to cancer treatment. (2014, background): “It should be mentioned that main drawbacks of such monotargeted therapies are the ineffectiveness due to induction of drug resistancy and frequently observed severe side effects [17,21].”
Regulation of survival, proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis of tumor cells through modulation of inflammatory pathways by nutraceuticals (2010, background): “It is now clear that cancerous phenotypes result from the dysregulation of more than 500 genes at multiple steps in cell signaling pathways [19,20].”
Nanocurcumin: A Promising Candidate for Therapeutic Applications (2020, background): “…substitutions in the diferuloylmethane chemical structure (which is responsible for yellow coloration), demethoxycurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin, and cyclocurcumin (Figure 1) are responsible for many biological and pharmacological differential activities of these compounds (Anand et al. , 2008).”
