Table 3.

Comparisons of the cell viability IC50 of curcumin, SCNP, and CSCNP in Hep G2 cells while stored in water for 80 days (μg/mL).

Sample Name Storage at 0 Day Storage after 80 Days Efficiency a (%)
Curcumin 72 251 28.9
CSCNP 111 127 87.4
SCNP 140 166 84.3

a Formula = 1/(Storage after 80 days IC50/Storage at 0 day IC50) × 100. SCNP: silica-encapsulated curcumin nanoparticles; CSCNP: chitosan with silica co-encapsulated curcumin nanoparticles.
