Figure 5. Anti-amyloid activity of PLGA-curcumin nanoparticles.
A- Amyloid protein (Aβ) aggregates, B- Aβ and PLGA-curcumin nanoparticles after 12 hour co-incubation, C- Aβ and PLGA-curcumin nanoparticles after 24 hour co-incubation, D- Aβ and PLGA-curcumin nanoparticles after 48 hour co-incubation, E- Tet-1 conjugated PLGA-curcumin nanoparticles, F- Aβ and Tet-1 attached PLGA-curcumin nanoparticles after 12 hour co-incubation, G- Aβ and Tet-1 attached PLGA-curcumin nanoparticles after 24 hour co-incubation, H- Aβ and Tet-1 attached PLGA-curcumin nanoparticles after 48 hour co-incubation. It is observed that the nanoparticles are able to attach with the amyloid aggregates and help in disaggregation of the amyloid protein aggregates.
