Abstract

Most drugs currently available for the treatment of cancer have limited potential because they are very toxic, insoluble in water, unstable, highly inefficient in treating cancer, and highly expensive. Therefore, treatments without these disadvantages are needed. Curcumin is one such extracted natural substance which derived from turmeric (Curcumin longa Linn.). The chemical structure of curcumin is 1, 7-bis (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1, 6-heptadiene-3,5-dione. Curcumin has been demonstrated safety and anticancer efficacy. However, it has restrictive pharmaceutical role because of its extremely low aqueous solubility, rapid systemic elimination, inadequate tissue absorption and degradation at alkaline pH, which severely curtails its bioavailability. Therefore, this review article was to review curcumin against anticervical cancer cells activity, and to develop curcumin delivery system by using nanotechnology. The use of nanocarriers in order to encapsulate and deliver curcumin can increase its aqueous solubility, stability and bioavailability as well as controlled delivery of curcumin for cervical cancer therapeutic treatment.
