Two series of curcumin analogues, a total of twenty-four compounds, were synthesized and evaluated. The most potent compound, compound 23, showed potent growth inhibitory activities on both prostate and breast cancer lines with IC(50) values in sub-micromolar range, fifty times
Series of curcumin derivatives were synthesized; the inhibitory activities on thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) of all analogues were evaluated by DTNB assay in vitro. It is found that most of the analogues can inhibit TrxR in the low micromolar range; Structure-activity

Peroxynitrite is a cytotoxic intermediate produced by the reaction between the superoxide anion (O(2)) and nitric oxide (NO). The aim of this study was to investigate the scavenging effects of Curcuma longa L. on authentic peroxynitrite, and further studies are
P-glycoprotein (Pgp, ABCB1) is an ATP-dependent drug efflux pump linked to development of multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells. Previously [Biochem Pharmacol 2002;64:573-82], we reported that a curcumin mixture could modulate both function and expression of Pgp. This study focuses
Molecular docking of the interaction of curcumin and DNMT1 suggested that curcumin covalently blocks the catalytic thiolate of C1226 of DNMT1 to exert its inhibitory effect. This was validated by showing that curcumin inhibits the activity of M. SssI with
