The researcher (Nasreen Ghaleb Obaid), a postgraduate student in the Department of Biochemistry at the College of Medicine, University of Karbala, was able to publish a scientific research entitled “Enhancing the anti-inflammatory activity of curcumin through niosomal particles decorated with hyaluronic acid for effective treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis”
in a prestigious international journal “Journal of Cluster Science” classified within “Q1 Container”
“Springer-Nature”
and under the supervision of both Professor Dr. Fadhel Jawad Al-Toma (specialized in clinical biochemistry) and lecturer Dr. Ali Muhammad Kazim Majeed Al-Toma (specialized in joint diseases and rheumatism).
This is the first research published in the “Q1 Container” journal for postgraduate students in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the College of Medicine, University of Karbala since its establishment until now.
The aim of the study was to enhance the bioavailability of curcumin, an antirheumatic agent, using hyaluronic acid-coated niosomal nanoparticles (NPs) for delivery to rheumatoid cells. This study found the great potential of hyaluronic acid-coated curcumin nanoparticles (NPs) in enhancing the bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of curcumin for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The novel use of these targeted nanoparticles resulted in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, suggesting a promising approach to improve the management of rheumatoid arthritis through nanomedicine.
