Aldose reductase inhibitory activity studies of THERACURMIN.

THERACURMIN a commercially available nano-dispersion of curcumin used to treat after effects of alcohol has been evaluated for in vitro ARI activity on Aldose reductase isolated from the bovine lens. As envisaged, the product displays better ARI activity with IC value of 3 μM. The observed ARI activity of THERACURMIN is of therapeutic significance as the limited bioavailability of curcumin limits its clinical use.
