Use of curcumin derivative
-
Paragraph 0039-0041; 0044; 0053, (2019/10/23)
The invention provides the use of a curcumin derivative. The use of the curcumin derivative shown in a formula I (please see the specification for the formula), or salts of the curcumin derivative inthe preparation of drugs of anti-inflammatory diseases and/or a COX inhibitor is particularly provided. The curcumin derivative has good COX inhibitory activity and anti-inflammatory activity and canbe used for preparing the COX inhibitor and anti-inflammatory drugs. Compound 6 and compound 7 have the best effects on COX-2 inhibitory activity and anti-inflammatory activity and can be used for preparing a COX-2 inhibitor and the anti-inflammatory drugs.

Curcumin (1), demethoxycurcumin (2) and bisdemethoxycurcumin (3), the curcuminoid constituents of the medicinal plant Curcuma longa L., have been structurally modified to 55 analogs and antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been evaluated. Among the highly active curcuminoids, the isoxazole analogs are the most active group, with mono-O-methylcurcumin isoxazole (53) being the most active compound (MIC 0.09 μg/mL). It was 1131-fold more active than curcumin (1), the parent compound, and was approximately 18 and 2-fold more active than the standard drugs kanamycin and isoniazid, respectively. Compound 53 also exhibited high activity against the multidrug-resistant M. tuberculosis clinical isolates, with the MICs of 0.195-3.125 μg/mL. The structural requirements for a curcuminoid analog to exhibit antimycobacterial activity are the presence of an isoxazole ring and two unsaturated bonds on the heptyl chain. The presence of a suitable para-alkoxyl group on the aromatic ring which is attached in close proximity to the nitrogen function of the isoxazole ring and a free para-hydroxyl group on another aromatic ring enhances the biological activity.
