2. Curcumin-95
Curcuma Longa is a perennial herb that belongs to the ginger family. The rhizome is extensively used for
imparting color and flavor to food including curries. As a powder, called turmeric, it is also used for medicinal
and religious ceremonies.
Chemistry
Curcuma longa rhizomes yield about 8% essential oils and 10% fatty oil. The volatile oils are probably
responsible for curcumin's antispasmodic activity. Borneol is present in the essential oil fraction and is largely
responsible for the digestion-improving properties.
Antioxidant
Numerous studies have shown that the various constituents of curcuma longa possess potent antioxidant
properties, and curcumin has been reported to be an effective agent against lipid peroxidation.
Anti-inflammatory
Curcumin has been found to be effective in several animal models of inflammation, and is considered a
potential non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent. The mechanism of curcumin's anti-inflammatory action is
not yet known, although several cellular mechanisms have been suggested, including affecting steroid release
from the adrenal cortex, blocking pro-inflammatory enzymes, and inhibiting the production of pro-
inflammatory mediators. The overexpression of pro-inflammatory mediators contributes to diseases such as
Alzheimer's, cerebral ischemia and multiple sclerosis. The ability of curcumin to decrease inflammation
presents an approach to slow the progression of these diseases.
Gastro-intestinal effects
Curcumin increases mucin content, thereby protecting the gastric mucosa against irritants. Curcumin also
possesses anti-spasmodic properties. Curcumin showed liver protective effects against carbon tetrachloride,
D-Galactosamine and peroxide induced cytotoxicity, and increased bile acid production in animals.
Cardiovascular effects
A sharp and transient hypotensive effect of curcumin was reported in dogs. Curcumin also inhibited collagen
and adrenaline-induced aggregation of platelets, thereby helping to prevent clot formation.
Lipid metabolism
Animals fed with curcumin and cholesterol had only half to one-third of the serum and liver cholesterol levels
compared to the controlled groups receiving cholesterol alone.
Anti-bacterial/Anti-fungal
Curcumin has been shown to inhibit the growth of most organisms including Staphylococcus aureus (which
is responsible for a number of diseases including skin infections, pneumonia, and food poisoning),
Streptococci (best known for strep throat and flesh eating disease), corynebacterium (responsible for
diphtheria), and micrococcus pyogenes. The crude ether and chloroform extracts of curcuma longa showed
anti-fungal activity against several parasitic fungi as well as anti-amoebic activity against Entamoeba
histolytica.
Anti-viral
Curcumin has been shown to be an effective ally in the treatment against HIV. Curcumin was effective in
inhibiting the replication of HIV in both acutely infected and chronically infected cells.
Anti-tumor activity
The anti-tumor activity of various extracts of curcuma longa has been remarked by several researchers.
Animal studies have found that curcumin can significantly impede the production of tumours, and inhibits the
progression of colon and skin cancers. Curcumin is able to alter gene regulation, and it blocks the formation
of new blood vessels that feed tumours. In a clinical trial, supplemental curcumin was found to improve the
histology of precancerous lesions in patients with various forms of cancer.
