We demonstrated that a naturally derived polysaccharide, chitosan, is capable of forming composite nanoparticles with silica. For encapsulated particles, we used silicification and biosilicification to encapsulate curcumin and analyzed the physicochemical properties of curcumin nanoparticles. It proved that encapsulated curcumin nanoparticles enhanced stability toward ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, antioxidation and antitumor activity, enhanced/added function, solubility, bioactivities/ bioavailability, and control release and overcame the immunobarrier. We present an in vitro study that examined the cytotoxicity of amorphous and composite silica nanoparticles to different cell lines. These bioactives include curcumin mdAntrodia cinnamomea. It is hoped that by examining the response of multiple cell lines to silica nanoparticles more basic information regarding the cytotoxicity as well as potential functions of silica in future oncological applications could become available.
