TLDR
It was observed that part of the derivatives displayed significant activity when compared with curcumin and most of them exhibited activity against the ampicillin-resisted Enterobacter cloacae.
Abstract
The synthesis of three series of curcumin analogues with mono-carbonyl is described. Their in vitro anti-bacterial activities against seven Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were tested and the effect of substituents on the aryl ring and the space structure of the linking strain were discussed. It was observed that part of the derivatives displayed significant activity when compared with curcumin and most of them exhibited activity against the ampicillin-resisted Enterobacter cloacae. Compounds A12, B09, B13, B14 and C09 show remarkable antibacterial activity in vitro. The result showed that heterocycle or long-chain substituents may enhance the activity of curcumin analogues.

Biological activities of curcumin and its analogues (Congeners) made by man and Mother Nature.

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.

Bactericidal activity of curcumin I is associated with damaging of bacterial membrane.

TL;DR: The present study confirms the broad-spectrum antibacterial nature of curcumin I, and its membrane damaging property, and could provide impetus for further research on cur cumin I regarding its antibiotic potential against rapidly emerging bacterial pathogens.

Pharmacology of Curcuma longa

TL;DR: It appears that when given orally, curcumin is far less active than after i.p. administration, and systemic effects seem to be questionable after oral application except that they occur at very low concentrations ofCurcumin, which does not exclude a local action in the gastrointestinal tract.

Multiple biological activities of curcumin: a short review.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the most interesting in vitro and in vivo studies on the biological effects of curcumin, the constituent of turmeric, which has been widely studied for its anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic,Anti-oxidant, wound healing and anti-cancer effects.
