TL;DR: This review focuses on the status of all these approaches in generating a "super curcumin," a homodimer of feruloylmethane containing a methoxy group and a hydroxyl group, a heptadiene with two Michael acceptors, and an alpha,beta-diketone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Cross‐linking with Epichlorohydrin on the Properties of Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Starch
TL;DR: In this article, a cross-linked cassava starch was crosslinked with epichlorohydrin (EPI) at 45°C for 2h in three different media which include water, water in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst (PTC) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF).
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroprotective role of curcumin from curcuma longa on ethanol-induced brain damage.
TL;DR: Oral administration of curcumin to rats caused a significant reversal in lipid peroxidation, brain lipids and produced enhancement of glutathione, a non‐enzymic antioxidant in ethanol intoxicated rats, revealing that the antioxidative and hypolipidaemic action ofCurcumin is responsible for its protective role against ethanol induced brain injury.
Journal Article
Comparative effects of curcumin and its synthetic analogue on tissue lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status during nicotine-induced toxicity.
TL;DR: The present study suggests that BDMC-A exerts its protective effect by modulating the extent of lipid peroxidation and augmenting the antioxidant defence system.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The effect exerted by BDMC-A was found to be more promising than curcumin, and Histopathological studies of liver also showed protective effect ofCurcumin and BD MC-A.
