Journal ArticleDOI

Curcumin recognizes a unique binding site of tubulin.

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

Differential apoptotic and redox regulatory activities of curcumin and its derivatives.

TL;DR: The apoptotic activity of these derivatives correlated very well with the generation of ROS by the tumor cells, whereas GSH levels remained unaltered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis for the functional and inhibitory mechanisms of β-hydroxyacyl-acyl carrier protein dehydratase (FabZ) of Plasmodium falciparum.

TL;DR: The crystal structures of the complexes of PfFabZ provides the structural basis of the inhibitory mechanism of the enzyme that could be used to improve the potency of inhibitors against an important component of fatty acid synthesis common to many infectious organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Telomerase targeted anticancer bioactive prodrug by antisense-based approach.

TL;DR: This DNA-curcumin-tetraglycine acts as a prodrug being targeted by antisense mechanism to telomerase, and is found to affect cell growth in the former.
