Figure 1.
Characteristics of CUR-loaded nanocarriers. AFM images and DLS size distribution graphs of CUR-loaded nanocarriers stabilized by C12(TAPAMS)2 (a), C12(COONa)2 (b), and Cremophor EL (c); photobleaching of 4 μM encapsulated and free CUR in aqueous solution during irradiation with visible light (100 mW/cm²) measured by UV-Vis absorption spectra (d). Points present the difference in the absorption at λmax = 440 nm for loaded nanocarriers and λmax = 430 nm for the native form of photosensitizer as a function of time.
