Research Progress on Curcumin Prodrugs

Abstract:

In this paper, the status and research progress of curcumin prodrugs were reviewed, involving polyethylene glycol(PEG) loading prodrug, cholesterol loading prodrug, surfactant like amphiphilic loading prodrug, curcumin-amino acid bioconjugates, which provided basis for the further development of curcumin.
