Bisdemethylcurcumin and structurally related hispolon analogues of curcumin exhibit enhanced prooxidant, anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory activities in vitro

Curcumin, a component of turmeric (Curcuma longa), exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative activities through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) contains two hydroxyl, two methoxy and two phenyl groups but how these groups contribute to its activity is poorly understood. We synthesized analogues that varied in inclusion of these groups and compared their activity. We found that bisdemethylcurcumin (BDC) was more potent than curcumin as an anti-inflammatory agent as indicated by suppression of TNF-induced NF-κB activation, more potent as an anti-proliferative agent, and more potent in inducing ROS. Hispolon, which lacks one aromatic unit in relation to curcumin, also exhibited enhanced anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative activities. When synthetic curcumin (Cur-S) was compared with bisdemethylcurcumin (BDC), hispolon, hispolon methyl ether (HME), dehydroxy hispolon (DH), hydroxy hispolon (HH), methoxy hispolon methyl ether (MHME), and methoxy hispolon (MH), we found that following order of anti-inflammatory activity: BDC=Hispolon>HME>HH>Cur-S>MHME>MH>DH; for anti-proliferative: Hispolon>BDC>MHME>Cur-S>MH>HME=HH>DH; and for prooxidant: BDC>Cur-S=MHME>HH>MH+HME>DH (254-1414 mean fluorescence intensity). Thus, dehydroxy hispolon was least potent for all three activities. Overall the results indicate that the substitution of a hydroxyl group for a methoxy group at the meta positions of the phenyl rings in curcumin significantly enhanced the anti-inflammatory activity, and the removal of phenyl ring at the 7th position of the heptadiene back bone and addition of hydroxyl group significantly increased the anti-proliferative activity of curcumin.

Discovery of novel anti-tumor curcumin analogues from the optimization of curcumin scaffold

A series of novel curcumin analogues were synthesized by optimization of its aromatic ring. The antiproliferative activities of these analogues were screened against four human cancer cell lines by MTT assay and some displayed significant improvement in a

Curcumin-based polarity fluorescent probes: Design strategy and biological applications

Polarity is a crucial characteristic of indispensable organelles, which has been indicated to be closely related to many pathological and biological processes. Hence, a novel design strategy of curcumin-based polarity fluorescent probes was presented. Cur

Synthesis and evaluation of curcumin derivatives toward an inhibitor of beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1

To research a new non-peptidyl inhibitor of beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1, we focused on the curcumin framework, two phenolic groups combined with an sp2 carbon spacer for low-molecular and high lipophilicity. The structure-activity relationship study of curcumin derivatives is described. Our results indicate that phenolic hydroxy groups and an alkenyl spacer are important structural factors for the inhibition of beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 and, furthermore, non-competitive inhibition of enzyme activity is anticipated from an inhibitory kinetics experiment and docking simulation.
