TL;DR: Using fluorescence spectroscopy, it is shown that curcumin binds tubulin 32 Å away from the colchicine-binding site, and structure-activity studies suggest that the tridented nature of compound 7 is responsible for its higher affinity for tubulin compared toCurcumin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stable and potent analogues derived from the modification of the dicarbonyl moiety of curcumin
Soumyananda Chakraborti,Gopa Dhar,Vishnu Dwivedi,Amlan Das,Asim Poddar,Gopal Chakraborti,Gautam Basu,Pinak Chakrabarti,Avadhesha Surolia,Bhabatarak Bhattacharyya +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that curcumin also loses its activity instantaneously in a reducing environment, and results strongly suggest that compounds 2 and 3 could be good replacements forCurcumin in future drug development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood compatible N-maleyl chitosan-graft-PAMAM copolymer for enhanced gene transfection.
TL;DR: The copolymer showed significant protection of DNA from nuclease attack with lower toxicity against HeLa cell and may be a strong alternative candidate as effective nonviral vector.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In the present study, a carboxymethylated guar gum-grafted-polyethyleneimine copolymer was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, XRD and zeta potential analyses, suggesting that the CMGG-g-PEI could find application as an alternative efficient gene delivery vehicle in the future.
