Curcumine inhibitory effect

Dimethylhydrazine (DMFI)-induced rat colon carcinogenesis model was used for evaluation of the synergistic inhibitory effect between curcumin and catechin in light of ACF formation and tumor incidence. The results of this...

Similarly, the phenolic antioxidants p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, curcumin, and caffeic acid, which are found in coriander (as well as members of the Labiatae family, see below), inhibit the formation of 3-nitrotyrosine in vitro and may prevent lipid peroxidation in vivo [14, 15]. Caffeic acid and other hydroxycinnamic acids have also been found to exert an inhibitory effect on LDL oxidation, a known risk factor for CHD [16]. 

The effect of curcumin on apoptosis in multidmg-resistant cell lines has been reported. Piwocka et al. ° demonstrated that curcumin induced cell death in multidrag-resistant CEM(P-gp4) and LoVo(P-gp4) cells in a caspase-3-independent maimer. Mehta et al. also examined the antiproliferative effects of curcumin against multidrag-resistant (MDR) lines, which were found to be highly sensitive to curcumin. The growth-inhibitory effect of curcumin was time- and dose-dependent and was correlated with its inhibition of ornithine decarboxylase activity. Curcumin preferentially arrested cells in the G2/S phase of the cell cycle.
