superfamily. Using mammalian-two-hybrid (M2H) and vitaminD responsive element (VDRE) biological assay systems, we tested CM and 11 CM synthetic analogs for their ability to activate VDR signaling. The M2H assay revealed that RXR and VDR association was induced by CM and several of itsanalogs. VDRE-based assays demonstrated that pure curcumin and eight CM analogs activated transcription of a luciferase plasmid
Novel fluorocurcuminoid-BF2 complexes and their unlocked counterparts as potential bladder anticancer agents – synthesis, physicochemical characterization, and in vitro anticancer activity
curcumin-BF2 adducts with methoxy than with the hydroxy or fluorine group; or for compounds containing one fluorine rather than two fluorine groups. Moreover, it has become evident that the position of substituents relative to each other plays a significant role. To sum up, all BF2 adducts appeared more effective than curcumin, with the most cytotoxic compound belonging to F-CUR-BF2 adducts with 3-fl
