Description
A metabolite of curcumin with diverse biological activities; scavenges DPPH radicals in a cell-free assay (EC50 = 16.8 μM); inhibits LPS-induced increases in iNOS and COX-2 expression in RAW 264.7 cells at 50 µM; inhibits LPS-induced increases in TNF-α release at 100 µM; inhibits LPS-induced increases in NO production and IL-6 levels in a concentration-dependent manner; reduces carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats (ED50 = 20 mg/kg); reduces the formation of neocapillaries and decreases microvascular density as well as VEGF, VEGFR2, and HIF-1α expression in a CaSki cervical cancer nude mouse xenograft model at 100, 300, and 500 mg/kg,,
