Cytotoxicity of β-CD@Cur 4 and (β-CD)2@Cur 5 nanoconjugates. Primary cultures of rat embryo cortical neurons were isolated and prepared on Day 0 (D0) in vitro, followed by treatment on D3 with the indicated concentrations of Cur. MTT assay was performed after 24 h to assess cell viability. Results are shown as % of viability of control cells treated with the same volume of DMSO alone; means and SD are shown for two separate cultures each with quadruplicate determinations. Statistical significance is shown as compared to values obtained from control cells (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01).
