Quantum dots encapsulated with curcumin inhibit the growth of colon cancer, breast cancer and bacterial cells.

To synthesize and examine the impact of free Eudragit RS 100 nanoparticles (LN01), Quantum dots curcumin-loaded Eudragit RS 100 nanoparticles (LN04), and un-encapsulated curcumin nanoparticles (LN06) on cancerous and bacterial cells. The LN01, LN04, LN06 were synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared, ζ potential, UV-Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy and their biological activities were evaluated. LN04 profoundly inhibited the growth of colon (HCT-116) cancerous cells (10.
