A simple, efficient, and rapid sample preparation method based on aeration-assisted homogeneous liquid-liquid microextraction was developed for determination of curcumin in food samples by high-performance liquid chromatography. The centrifuge step has been eliminated in this procedure. The effects of some variables, such as pH, volume of extraction solvent, extraction time, and salt effect, were studied through a Box-Behnken design method. Under the optimum conditions, calibration curves of curcumin were linear in the range of 0.08-4000 μg/mL with R = 0.997. Limit of detection and relative standard deviation were 0.019 μg/mL and 3.01%, respectively. The preconcentration factor achieved was 166. The proposed method was successfully applied to determination of curcumin in various food samples.

Background: As amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregates are considered as the biomarkers and key factors in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease, there has been extensive investigation into Aβ-targeting compounds for the development of diagnostics and drug discovery related to the disorder. However, the polymorphic and heterogenous nature of Aβ aggregates impedes the structural understanding of their structure. Consequently it is a major challenge to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic development of AD and to study the mechanism of Aβ-targeting compounds.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is complex in pathogenesis and related to aging biology, especially in late-onset AD. We identified a novel synthetic curcumin analog TML-6 through the platform of 6 biomarkers of anti-aging, anti-inflammation, and anti-Aβ as the potential AD drug candidate. TML-6 exhibits multi-target effects on AD pathogenesis, including the activation of NrF-2, the regulation of autophagic machinery through mTOR, the inhibition of APP synthesis and reduction of Aβ, the upregulation of ApoE, and the inhibition of microglial activation.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and the most common form of dementia. Although AD is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), it's estimated that nearly half of AD cases might be attributed to modifiable risk factors and lifestyle-based interventions may offer promising preventative strategies to delay disease onset and progression. Polyphenolic derivatives easily found in foods like luteolin and curcumin have shown beneficial effects to counteract cognitive decline.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Curcumin has been reported to have suppressive effects in CRC and to address the physiological limitations of curcumin, a chemically synthesized curcuminoid analog, known as (2E,6E)-2,6-Bis (2,3-Dimethoxy benzylidine) cyclohexanone (DMCH), was developed and the anti-metastatic and anti-angiogenic properties of DMCH in colorectal cell line, SW620 were examined.
Methods: The anti-metastatic effects of DMCH were examined in the SW620 cell line by scratch assay, migration, and invasion assay, while for anti-angiogenesis properties of the cells, the mouse aortic ring assay and Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) assay were conducted.

CRC has the third-highest cancer incidence and death. Many human cancers, including colorectal cancer, are connected to abnormal signaling pathway gene expression. Many human malignancies include Hippo and Rap1 signaling.
