It has been demanded to improve the poor solubility of curcumin to develop an anti-tumor compound capable of inhibiting the growth of various cancer cells at a low concentration. Thus, disclosed is a novel synthetic compound, a bis(arylmethylidene)acetone, which has both of an excellent anti-tumor activity and a chemo-preventive activity. A bis(arylmethylidene)acetone (i.e., a derivative having a curcumin skeleton) which is an anti-tumor compound and has a chemo-preventive activity is synthesized and screened. A derivative having enhanced anti-tumor activity and chemo-preventive activity can be synthesized.

anti-oxidant properties. There are conflicting reports concerning the structural/electronic basis of the anti-oxidant activity of curcumin. Curcumin is a symmetrical diphenolic dienone. A series of enone analogues of curcumin were synthesized that included: (1) curcumin analogues that retained the 7-carbon spacer between the aryl rings; (2) curcumin analogues with a 5-carbon spacer; and (3) curcumin
Anti-melanogenesis screening of 47 synthesized curcumin-like diarylpentanoid analogues was performed to show that some had a potent inhibitory effect on the melanogenesis in B16 melanoma cells. Their actions were considered to be mostly due to tyrosinase inhibition, tyrosinase expression inhibition, and melanin pigment degradation. The structure–activity relationships of those curcumin-like diarylpentanoid analogues which inhibited the melanogenesis and tyrosinase activity were also discussed. Of those compounds assayed, (2E,6E)-2,6-bis(2,5-dimethoxybenzylidene)cyclohexanone showed the most potent anti-melanogenesis effect, the mechanism of which is considered to be the degradation of the melanin pigment in B16 melanoma cells, affecting neither the tyrosinase activity nor tyrosinase expression.
Cancer or a precancerous condition is treated by administering a curcumin derivative to a subject.
