The basic structure of CUR liposomes.

Notes: Diameter of CUR liposomes varies from 25 nm to 1,000 nm with one phospholipid bilayer including hydrophobic tail and hydrophilic head in aqueous solution. The liposomes have a globular shape where there is a central aqueous space and outer lipid bilayer. As a lipophilic drug, CUR was absolutely distributed in outer lipid bilayer.

Abbreviation: CUR, curcumin.
