Bioactivity | Hexahydrocurcumin is one of the major metabolites of curcumin and a selective, orally active COX-2 inhibitor. Hexahydrocurcumin is inactive against COX-1. Hexahydrocurcumin has antioxidant, anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Hexahydrocurcumin (0-25 μM; 24-48 hours; HT-29 cells) treatment significantly decreased the viability of HT-29 colon cancer cells in a time- and concentration-dependent. The respective IC50 values for 24 and 48 h of Hexahydrocurcumin exposureare 77.05 and 56.95, respectively[1].Hexahydrocurcumin (0-25 μM; 24-48 hours; HT-29 cells) combined with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU; 5 µM) markedly reduces the COX-2 expression. The level of COX-1 is not altered[1].Hexahydrocurcumin (0-25 μM; 24-48 hours; HT-29 cells) combined with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU; 5 µM) markedly reduces the COX-2 protein. The level of COX-1 protein is not altered[1].Hexahydrocurcumin (7-14 μM; 24 hours) attenuates lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-elicited increase of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in murine macrophages (RAW 264.7) in a concentration-dependent manner[2].
