Description
Curcumin is a yellow-orange dye obtained from tumeric, the powdered root of Curcuma longa; it is employed in the preparation of curcuma paper, the detection of boron, and possesses a vast number of biological targets. A study investigating the effects of curcumin on reported inflammatory mediators in inflammatory bowel disease on colonic myofibroblasts obtained ex vivo reported that a dose-dependent suppression of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) occured. Curcumin has been shown to inhibit NF-κB, possibly through inhibition of JNK (IC50=10 μM). Curcumin blocks amyloid peptide induced expression of: TNF-α, IL-1β, MCP-1, IL-8, and CCR5, regulates NOS2, inhibits IgE and Ag-induced degranulation of mast cells, inhibits 5-LO (5-lipoxygenase) (IC50=8 μM), Cox-2 (cyclooxygenase-2) (IC50=52 μM), the COP9 signalosome kinase (IC50=10μM), and p300/CREB Binding Protein (p300/CBP). This wide range of activities makes curcumin an extremely useful tool for developing novel analogues and uses. Curcumin is an inhibitor of GST, IKK and NQO1.
