Abstract

Curcumin regulates cellular signaling pathway related to cancer growth, inflammation and apoptosis and due to biological activities can be target DNA, RNA and enzymes. In addition, curcumin has inhibitory effect against MARK, P53, β-catenin and AKT. It can be consider as a promising agent to treat many diseases but it is important that should be acceptably carried out cellular targeting with curcumin. Here, we reviewed beneficial effects of curcumin in treatment of diseases. Our review study was confirmed that curcumin has potential effect in diseases treatment but there is a dire need for increase of its bioavailability in order to promotion of its efficacy. We suggest that should be design the methods for increase of cellular targeting by curcumin in further studies.
