pH-dependent release properties of curcumin encapsulated alginate nanoparticles in skin and artificial sweat
Topical skin application of curcumin is challenging due to the low solubility and poor stability, including fast photodegradation, of this bioactive compound. Therefore, curcumin encapsulated alginate (CU-Al) nanoparticles were prepared by the ionic gelation method followed by freeze drying to determine the efficacy of alginate in facilitating curcumin release. Evaluation of the release of curcumin from the encapsulate in the presence of artificial sweat (pH 4.7) and skin (pH 5.5), about which the literature is meagre, was carried out after particle size characterization. CU-Al nanoparticles were in the nano-range (186.8 nm), assimilated a negative zeta-potential value (-15.4 ± 8.13 mV), and displayed a high encapsulation efficiency (94.55 ± 0.53%). The release of encapsulated curcumin at pH 5.5 (max. 64%) and at pH 4.7 (max. 27%) were significantly different. In pH 5.5 and pH 4.7, the release profiles of encapsulated curcumin fitted best with the Weibull (followed an anomalous transport mechanism) and Gompertz (followed a super case II transport mechanism) models respectively, displaying sigmoidal release patterns. Diffusion and polymer relaxation/swelling based release at pH 5.5 and rapid polymer relaxation/erosion based release at pH 4.7 have governed the encapsulated curcumin release. The results indicated that CU-Al nanoparticles may be utilized to facilitate controlled and prolonged release of curcumin in both skin and artificial sweat, thereby functioning as a promising novel delivery vehicle for curcumin. However, skin deposition or penetration may be required for yielding a satisfactory topical administration of curcumin during sweating.
