κ-Carrageenan
Drug Carrier
κ-Carrageenan is a natural polymer derived primarily from red seaweeds, functioning effectively as a drug carrier. It enhances the delivery of curcumin to cancer cells, promoting apoptosis and potentially increasing anti-cancer efficacy. Additionally, κ-carrageenan has been identified as a potential inflammatory agent, which may exacerbate pre-existing intestinal inflammation, making it relevant for studies in inflammation and cancer research.
