ABSTRACT
Cancer is the most prevalent disease not only in the United States but
worldwide. The most representative polyphenol component extracted
from the rhizomes of Curcuma long a (known as turmeric) is
curcumin. The therapeutic benefits of curcumin have been
demonstrated in multiple chronic diseases: inflammation, arthritis,
metabolic syndrome, liver disease, obesity, neurodegenerative
diseases and, above all, in several cancers. Chemotherapy is a major
form of treatment modality for various human diseases and disorders
in both developing and developed countries. This intervention has
been associated with a number of side effects and poor compliance.
Therefore, in recent years, a significant effort has been put forward
for finding a better treatment modality that uses natural compounds
or extracts. Among many naturally occurring polyphenol compounds,
curcumin is a highly safe yellow pigment molecule, widely used as a
food coloring agent, and can be used to treat various pathological
conditions.
