Curcumin, Gel, Wound Healing, DSC, FT-IR etc.

Curcumin, a compound from Curcuma longa, is renowned for its therapeutic properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial, wound healing, antiviral, hepatoprotective, and neuroprotective effects. Despite its high-dose safety, its poor water solubility hampers its efficacy. This study aimed to enhance curcumin's solubility using a gel formulation with Gelucire 44/14. Both curcumin and Gelucire 44/14 were confirmed via physicochemical and spectral analyses. Various proportions were tested, with a 1:3 ratio of curcumin to Gelucire 44/14 achieving the highest water solubility. Stability studies indicated that at 40°C, Gelucire 44/14 melted, impacting stability. FT-IR analysis suggested hydrogen bond interactions, while DSC and TGA confirmed thermal stability and interaction-driven solubilization. The 1:3 ratio significantly enhanced curcumin solubility, and gel formulations demonstrated faster and higher curcumin release, peaking at 60-90 minutes, compared to plain curcumin. In rat models, the gel improved wound healing efficacy over plain curcumin. However, stability issues arose at 40°C due to Gelucire melting, necessitating further formulation adjustments for better stability. These findings suggest that Gelucire 44/14 is promising excipients for enhancing curcumin solubility and therapeutic efficacy, though temperature stability remains a challenge.
