It presents a new method. In this respect, our invention differs from the previous technique. as a treatment optimized at both the pharmacokinetic and molecular levels 15 Our invention offers significant technical and therapeutic advantages. These provide: 1. Increased bioavailability and effective concentration. The NGUC formulation ensures the stability and absorption of curcumin in the gastrointestinal system. By increasing it, it provides higher bioavailability in target cells. This situation is different from the classic 20 Eliminating the problem of low efficacy observed in curcumin formulations. This allows for significant biological effects to be achieved even at lower doses. He recognizes. 2. Dose- and time-dependent controlled cytotoxic effect. Experimental data obtained within the scope of the invention show that NGUC maintains cell viability for a specific 25 days. controllable within concentration ranges and application times This shows that it reduces [the effects of treatment]. This situation leads to the optimization of treatment protocols and It allows for targeted dose adjustments. 3. Direct inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway. One of the most important technical contributions of the invention is that it reduces the progression of pancreatic cancer by 30 It is the direct suppression of the NF-κB signaling pathway, which plays a critical role. NGUC Significant reduction in NF-κB protein expression with this application, tumor mechanisms of cell proliferation, invasion and chemotherapy resistance It helps to weaken it. 4 4. Low toxicity and high selectivity. Because it is based on natural compounds, NGUC is an alternative to classical chemotherapeutic agents. It has a lower toxicity potential in comparison.
