Curcumin: Principal Curcuminoid from Turmeric Rhizome
Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) is the primary bioactive curcuminoid extracted from the rhizome of Curcuma longa (turmeric). It is responsible for turmeric’s characteristic yellow color and has been extensively studied for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and chemopreventive properties. Curcumin modulates multiple molecular targets including NF-kB, COX-2, and various cytokines, which accounts for its broad pharmacological profile.
