Abstract

Lung Cancer is most devastating tumor destroying human life in recent times.

In the present work, we developed dry powder formulation of the curcumin by spray drying technique. In this review we have to look at glance on various kind of method of Preparation of Dry Powder Inhaler and its Evaluation for various parameters i.e. Mean Particle size and Polydispersity index, Zeta potential, Drug content, XRD, SEM and Density etc.
