The goal of current research was to develop a new form of effective drug, curcumin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (Cur-SLNs) and test its efficacy in the treatment of lung cancer. Different batches of SLNs were prepared by the emulsification-ultrasonication method. For the optimization of formulation, each batch was evaluated for particle size, polydispersity index (PI), zeta potential (ZP), entrapment efficiency (EE) and drug loading (DL).

The Box-Behnken experimental design was utilized to optimize the eupalitin-3----galactopyranoside extraction procedure, which also looked at the extraction duration, temperature, and solvent concentration as independent variables. leaves were extracted, and -hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and water were used to fractionate the dried extracts.
