Curcumin Extract
Latin Name: Curcuma longa Linn. (Zingiberaceae)
English Name: Turmeric
Sanskrit Names Hindi Names: Haridra, Rajani, Nisha
History:
Turmeric has been used in Indian systems of medicine for a long time. It was listed in an Assyrian herbal
dating from about 600 BC and was also mentioned by Dioscorides. Both the East and the West have held

2. its medicinal properties in high regard through the ages.
Habitat:
The plant is a native of southern Asia (probably India) and is cultivated extensively throughout the
warmer parts of the world.
Morphology Description (Habit)
C.longa is a perennial herb, with a short stem and tufted leaves. The rhizomes, which are short and
thick, constitute the turmeric of commerce.
Principal Constituents
The rhizomes contain curcuminoids, curcumin, demethoxy curcumin, bis- demethoxycurcumin, 5'-
methoxycurcumin and dihydrocurcumin which are found to be natural anti-oxidants. A new
curcuminoid, cyclocurcumin, was isolated from the nematocidally active fraction of turmeric. The fresh
rhizomes also contain two new natural phenolics which possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
activities and also two new pigments. Several sesquiterpenes, germacrone, turmerone, ar-(+)-, a-, ß-
turmerones; ß- bisabolene; a-curcumene; zingiberene; ß- sesquiphellandene, bisacurone; curcumenone;
dehydrocurdione; procurcumadiol; bis-acumol; curcumenol; isoprocurcumenol epiprocurcumenol;
procurcumenol; zedoaronediol; curlone; and turmeronol A and turmeronol B, have been recorded from
the rhizomes.
The rhizomes are also reported to contain four new polysaccharides-ukonans - having activity on the
Reticuloendothelial system, along with stigmasterol, ß-sitosterol, cholesterol and 2-hydroxymethyl
anthraquinone1. The essential oil from the rhizome contains d-a-phellandrene, d-sabinene, cineol,
borneol, zingiberene, sesquiterpenes (turmerones)2. The crystalline coloring matter, curcumin, is
diferuloyl methane. It dissolves in concentrated sulphuric acid giving a yellow-red coloration3.

3. Pharmacology:
Turmeric possesses anti-inflammatory property. Petroleum ether extracts of the rhizome showed
significant anti-inflammatory activity in experimental animals without producing any toxicity or side
effects. The anti-inflammatory activity of turmeric extracts has been attributed to curcumin and its
analogues4
Oil of C.longa leaves obtained by steam distillation was given orally to study its effects on the exudative
and proliferative phases of the inflammatory reaction, using the techniques of carrageenin-induced paw
edema and cotton pellet methods in male albino rats. The anti-inflammatory activity was compared with
Phenylbutazone. In carrageenin- induced edema, 1.6ml/kg of the volatile oil had as much anti-
inflammatory activity as that of 100mg/kg Phenylbutazone. The oil was also found to be potent in cotton
pellet granuloma studies5.
An oral dose of 500mg/kg of the ethanol extract of turmeric produced significant antiulcerogenic activity
in rats subjected to hypothermic-restraint stress and pyloruic ligation. It also showed marked anti-
ulcerogenic effect in indomethacin and reserpine, induced-gastric ulcers in rats. The extract had a highly
significant protective effect against cytodestructive agents. Turmeric extract not only increased the
gastric wall mucus significantly but also restored the non-protein sulfhydryl (NP-SH) content in the
glandular stomachs of the rats6.
C.longa rhizome extract showed blood glucose lowering activity in experimental, induced- diabetic rats.
After 3 and 6 hrs of curcuma injection (10mg), 37.2 percent and 54.5 percent fall, were observed
respectively in the glucose levels7.
Turmeric is reported to have anti-fertility activity as observed with experimental animals. The petroleum
ether and aqueous extracts showed 100 percent anti-implantation in rats at a dose of 200mg/kg body
wt fed orally on day 1 to 7 of pregnancy8.
Toxicology
The clastogenic potential of Curcuma longa in experimental rats in vivo conditions has been evaluated. A
single acute dose treatment (500mg/kg b.w.) could not significantly induce micro nucleated
polychromatic erythrocytes but caused considerably higher chromosomal abberrations11.
Indications:
In Indian systems of medicine, turmeric is used to some extent as a stomachic, tonic and blood purifier.
It is also prescribed as an antiperiodic alterative. Externally, it is applied to indolent ulcers. A decoction
of the rhizome is said to relieve the pain of purulent ophthalmia. Oil of turmeric, distilled from the dried
rhizomes, has feeble antiseptic properties. It is an antacid, and, in small doses, acts as a carminative,
stomachic, appetiser and tonic. In large doses, however, it appears to act as antispasmodic inhibiting
excessive peristaltic movements of the intestines. Turmeric also possesses anti-inflammatory property.
