Curcumin was naturally occurring agent with poor solubility also with a bioavailability of 3%. It is useful in many potential pharmacological effects including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant and anticancer activities. It was also proved against cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, liver problems, rheumatic arthritis, diabetics, Parkinson’s disease and neurological disorders. To enhance its solubility, permeability and bioavailability nanoparticle technology is very much useful. In the present work attempts were made to prepare the SLNs of curcumin by employing Cutina® HR as solid lipid, Carbopol 934 and soya lecithin as hydrophilic and lipophilic surfactants respectively. The five prepared formulations were evaluated for various parameters like drug content, entrapment efficiency, In Vitro drug release, particle size, Zeta potential, SEM analysis and Stability studies. Among all the Preparations C4 formulation was best in terms of Drug content of 83.1%, Entrapment efficiency of 67.2%, Drug release of 66.1%, Particle size of 796 nm with Zeta potential of -29.4 mV and was also in accordance with particle size in nano range by SEM analysis. The present study conclusively demonstrated that the solubility of drug was improved by entrapment of drug into solid lipid carrier which led to prolongation of drug release.
