Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on creating an antiviral treatment using curcumin encapsulated in biodegradable nanoparticles made from poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) to combat the Zika virus.
- The researchers characterized the PLGA-curcumin nanoparticles (PLGA-CUR NPs) through various scientific methods and tested their antiviral effects and cytotoxicity in Vero cells.
- The findings reveal that PLGA-CUR NPs are more effective than free curcumin at reducing Zika virus infection, indicating their potential as a drug formulation against harmful flaviviruses.
