Different Types of Cur-Loaded Polymeric Micelles

Types of Micelles	Composition	Preparation Methods	Major Outcome	References
Normal micelles	MPEG-PCL	Solid dispersion method	Improved water solubility Inhibition of breast tumor growth and spontaneous pulmonary metastasis	[51]
EGFR-targeted micelles	PLGA-PEG GE11 peptides	Emulsification solvent evaporation method	Increased intracellular uptake Prolonged circulation A reduction in primary tumor burden	[58]
FR-targeted micelles	Folate-PEG3000-PLA2000 mPEG2000-PLA2000	Thin film-hydration method	Increased intracellular uptake Sustained drug release Improved solubility Cancer targeting Enhanced anti-cancer activity	[13]
pH-sensitive micelles	TPGS-PAE	Solvent evaporation method	Low polydispersity High encapsulation efficiency Enhanced release in the acidic environment Improved pro-apoptotic and antiangiogenic activities	[60]
Redox-sensitive micelles	C16-SS-CS-mPEG	Dialysis method	Controlled drug release Enhanced antitumor and anti-inflammation efficacy	[61]
