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.

Recent developments in anti-inflammatory natural products.

TL;DR: The present review article describes anti‐inflammatory natural products derived from plants and marine sources reported during last decade, which belong to different chemical classes such as alkaloids, steroids, terpenoids, polyphenolics, phenylpropanoids, fatty acids and lipids, and various miscellaneous compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploration and synthesis of curcumin analogues with improved structural stability both in vitro and in vivo as cytotoxic agents.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the five-carbon linker-containing analogues of curcumin may be favorable for theCurcumin-based drug development both pharmacokinetically and pharmacologically.

Curcumin: an orally bioavailable blocker of TNF and other pro-inflammatory biomarkers

TL;DR: An alternative, curcumin (diferuloylmethane), a component of turmeric (Curcuma longa) that is very inexpensive, orally bioavailable and highly safe in humans, yet can block TNF‐α action and production in in vitro models, in animal models and in humans is described.
