BIS(4-HYDROXYCINNAMOYL)METHANE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Yellow powder, soluble in organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, and DMSO, derived from turmeric rhizomes, turmeric, and zedoary turmeric.

Uses

Bisdemethoxycurcumin is one of the three major forms of curcuminoids found in the rhizomes of turmeric. Bisdemethoxycurcumin displays antioxidant, anti-inflammatory as well as chemotherapeutic activity. Bisdemethoxycurcumin acts as an inhibitor of human pancreatic a-amylase, a target for type-2 diabetes .

Definition

ChEBI: Bisdemethoxycurcumin is a beta-diketone that is methane in which two of the hydrogens are substituted by 4-hydroxycinnamoyl groups. It has a role as a metabolite and an EC 3.2.1.1 (alpha-amylase) inhibitor. It is a beta-diketone, a polyphenol, an enone and a diarylheptanoid. It is functionally related to a 4-coumaric acid.
