Abstract

Curcumin, a component of the “Golden Spice” turmeric, has been recognized for its medicinal importance since ancient times. It can be isolated from the rhizomes of Curcuma Longa, which is a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae). It has been used to treat various diseases due to its anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-arthritic properties. However, due to its poor solubility and low bioavailability, its pharmaceutical applications are hindered. Advances have been made for its delivery techniques in order to maximize its absorption by the human body. Herein, we have provided the recent literature on the structural features and various therapeutic applications of curcumin.
