Due to the high mortality rate of ovarian cancer, there is a need to find novel strategies to improve current treatment modalities. Natural compounds offer great potential in this field but also require the careful design of systems for their delivery to cancer cells. Our study explored the anticancer effects of novel resveratrol (RSV)- and curcumin (CUR)-loaded core-shell nanoparticles in human ovarian cancer cells.

Background: Curcumin is a polyphenolic compound derived from the food spice turmeric that has received interest from the medical and scientific world for its role in the management of several conditions. Clinical studies, in humans, have shown that ingested Curcumin is safe even at high doses (12 g/day), but it has poor bioavailability primarily due to poor absorption and rapid metabolism and elimination. Several strategies have been implemented to improve the bioavailability of Curcumin, for example, the combination of piperine in a complex with Curcumin, or the usage of formulations with phospholipid or liposomal complexes.

Currently, diabetic nephropathy (DN) stands as the predominant global cause of endstage renal disease. Many scientists believe that diabetes will eventually spread to pandemic levels due to the rising prevalence of the disease. While the primary factor leading to diabetic nephropathy is vascular dysfunction induced by hyperglycemia, several other pathological elements, such as fibrosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress, also contribute to the progression of the disease.
