碩士 / 中華科技大學 / 健康科技研究所 / 103 / Curcumin, a hydrophobic phenolic compound, has been shown to possess several pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal and anti-tumorigenic activities. In this study, the mixture of sodium alginate (ALG) and pectin (PEC) was crosslinked with Ca2+ to form pH-sensitive hydrogel beads. The swelling and pH-sensitive properties of the sodium alginate/pectin (ALG/PEC) hydrogel beads were tested different pH environments. The drug release behaviors of the loaded curcumin ALG/PEC hydrogel beads were investigated in simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) and simulated colonic fluid (SCF). In addition, DPPH radical-scavenging and total phenolic content assays were employed to measure antioxidant activities of the curcumin-loaded ALG/PEC hydrogel beads. Finally, the cytotoxic effects of the curcumin-loaded ALG/PEC hydrogel beads on L929 mouse fibroblasts were evaluated by MTT assay. The results suggested that the curcumin-loaded ALG/PEC hydrogel beads may be a potential carrier for oral administration of site-specific drugs.
