Product Description
Cyclocurcumin is a potent inhibitor of p38α. Cyclocurcumin has antirheumatic, antivasoconstrictive and anti-oxidant effects.
Cyclocurcumin (CAS#: 153127-42-5) is a minor curcuminoid found in turmeric (Curcuma longa) rhizomes. It is a cyclic derivative of curcumin, with the same molecular formula (C21H20O6) but a significantly different structure. Cyclocurcumin has a molecular weight of 368.4. It has been studied for its potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Research suggests it may be more stable than curcumin, making it a promising candidate for therapeutic applications. Cyclocurcumin belongs to the class of organic compounds known as linear diarylheptanoids.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The molecular targets of Cyclocurcumin are not fully characterized in the provided literature. As a curcuminoid, it is believed to interact with multiple cellular targets involved in inflammation, oxidative stress, and cancer pathways. Curcuminoids are known to modulate various signaling pathways, including NF-κB, STAT3, and MAPK pathways, and to interact with enzymes such as cyclooxygenases and lipoxygenases. Cyclocurcumin's distinct structure may confer unique target interactions and bioactivities compared to curcumin.
ln Vitro
In LPS-stimulated human macrophages, cyclocurcumin (10–40 μM; 18 h) significantly reduces TNF-α release in a dose-dependent manner [1]. Freshly isolated rat aorta is exposed to cyclocurcumin (5-25 μM) which causes concentration-dependent vasoconstriction triggered by cyclophenylephrine (IC50=14.9±1.0 μM)[2]. In a dose-dependent manner, cyclocurcumin (5-25 μM; 30 min) suppresses intracellular calcium influx. Vasoconstriction mediated by L-type calcium channels is inhibited by cyclocurcumin in a concentration-dependent manner. Cyclocurcumin's anti-contractile action is reversible [2]. Strong scavenging activity against \OH and \OOH free radicals is exhibited by cyclocurcumin, and in physiological and aqueous settings, its 4'-OH phenol radicals preferentially scavenge \OH and \OOH free radicals via the process of atom transfer [3].
Cyclocurcumin has been studied for its potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. It is believed to be more stable than curcumin, making it a promising candidate for therapeutic applications. The compound's activity is likely related to its ability to modulate inflammatory mediators, scavenge free radicals, and inhibit cancer cell proliferation. Specific in vitro activity data, such as IC50 values, is not detailed in the provided literature.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Cyclocurcumin may offer benefits in treating diseases associated with inflammation, oxidative stress, and cancer. Its potential advantages over curcumin, such as greater stability, could translate to improved bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. However, specific in vivo data for Cyclocurcumin is not detailed in the provided literature. Further studies are needed to fully characterize its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro binding and enzyme activity assays for Cyclocurcumin would typically involve measuring its ability to modulate inflammatory and antioxidant pathways. These assays could include testing against inflammatory enzymes (COX, LOX), kinases (e.g., IKK, MAPK), or transcription factors (e.g., NF-κB). The compound's ability to scavenge free radicals can be assessed using cell-free antioxidant assays such as DPPH or ABTS radical scavenging assays.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for Cyclocurcumin would involve treating relevant cell lines (e.g., macrophages, cancer cells) with the compound and measuring effects on inflammation, oxidative stress, and cell viability. Readouts may include inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokine production (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β), reduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and inhibition of cancer cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis.
Animal Protocol
In vivo efficacy of Cyclocurcumin would be evaluated in animal models of inflammation, cancer, and other diseases. The compound could be administered orally or via injection, and its effects on disease progression, inflammatory markers, and other relevant endpoints would be assessed. Specific in vivo data for Cyclocurcumin is not detailed in the provided literature. Further studies are needed to evaluate its therapeutic potential.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Cyclocurcumin has a molecular weight of 368.4 and a molecular formula of C21H20O6. It is a minor curcuminoid found in turmeric rhizomes. The compound is a cyclic derivative of curcumin with a distinct structure. It is supplied as a research compound with a purity of ≥95%. The compound should be stored under recommended conditions. It is for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic use.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data is available for Cyclocurcumin in the provided literature. As a naturally occurring curcuminoid, it is generally considered to have low toxicity. However, its safety profile has not been systematically evaluated. Standard preclinical safety studies would be required to evaluate its safety for potential therapeutic applications. The compound is for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic use.
