Overview

In vitro analysis demonstrates sustained curcumin release and synergistic antioxidant activity in emulsion films, highlighting their potential for topical treatment.

Key Points

  • Sustained drug release and synergistic antioxidant activity occur when curcumin capsules are incorporated into chitosan and virgin coconut oil emulsions.
  • Drug release reached a maximum of 37% ± 1% after 48 h across pH conditions, while antioxidant activity peaked at 38.1% ± 0.1% over the same period.
  • Assessment using layer-by-layer methodology fabricated photo-responsive polyoxometalate capsules, supporting sustainable platforms for topical treatment.
