CT26 tumor growth delay in Balb/c after multiple injections of curcumin-loaded NC via tail vein. Mice were inoculated subcutaneously with 1 × 106 CT26 cells. Animals were then randomly divided into four groups: Control (♦), empty NC (▪), curcumin-loaded NC (Inline graphic), and DOX (positive control) (○). Mice were injected i.v. a total of 4 injections on day 11, 15, 19, and 24 post-tumor inoculation, at drug dose of 16 mg kg−1 curcumin (containing 250 mg polymer per kg) or 5 mg kg−1 DOX. Tumor size measurement was carried out three times a week. Data are given as mean value ± SEM (n = 10). Significant differences were examined using one-way ANOVA following by Tukey's multiple comparison test. *p < 0.05.
