The main aim of this study was to targeted delivery and controlled release of drugs are attractive methods for avoiding the drug's leakage during blood circulation and burst release of the drug. We prepared a nano cellulose-based drug delivery system (DDS) for the effective delivery of curcumin (Tumeric). In the present scenario, the role of nanoparticles in fabricating the DDS is an important one and was characterized using various techniques. The drug loading capacity (DLE) was high as 50% at pH = 3.0 for acetate buffer, 48% at pH = 6.5 for phosphate buffer and also drug encapsulation efficiency (DEE) was 40% for acetate buffer and 38% for phosphate buffer.The prepared DDS was also examined for H1 1D NMR studies to assess its pharmaceutical field application and the investigation results recommended that it may serve as a potential device for targeted delivery and controlled release of Curcumin (Turmeric) for cancer treatment.
