Application

Bisdemethoxycurcumin has been used: to test its inhibitory effect on cell cycle and mitochondrial function in gastric adenocarcinoma cellsto test it neuroprotective role against lead (Pb) induced toxicity in dopaminergic and noradrenergic systems of Meriones shawi as a standard for calibration curve generation to quantify plasma curcuminoids using high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) and ultraviolet (UV)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC) is a derivative or curcumin, and represents one of the major active components of curcumin products isolated from Curcumae sp. BDMC shares similar anti-inflammatory properties with demethoxycurcumin. It inhibits LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production and expression of iNOS and COX2 in RAW264.7 cells by blocking NF-kB activation. BDMC also displays unique properties in that it enhances Abeta clearance by upregulating expression MGAT3 and TLR genes. BDMC potently inhibits AKR1B10.

Bisdemethoxycurcumin (BMDC) is a stable dimethoxy derivative of curcumin and is useful as a supplement in cell culture medium. It also possesses antimicrobial, antioxidative and neuroprotective functionality.
