An investigation of the inhibitory effects of dendrosomal nanocurcumin on Candida albicans and systemic candidiasis in BALB/c mice

摘要

Background and Purpose:Use of curcumin, as a promising antifungal agent, is considered an alternative treatment for fungal infections; however, the low solubility of this agent limits its efficacy. Accordingly, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo antifungal activities of dendrosomal nanocurcumin with improved solubility and bioavailability.
