General description

Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) is a colorless metabolite of curcumin. It has a similar structure to that of curcumin. THC lacks the α, β-unsaturated carbonyl moiety in its chemical structure. It is naturally sourced from the roots of Curcuma zedoaria, Zingiber mioga, and Zingiber officinale.

Application

Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) has been used as a neuroprotective agent to study its therapeutic potential in improving mitochondrial dysfunction in the ischemic stroke mice model.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tetrahydrocurcumin is well-studied in treating cancer for its excellent anti-cancer, anti-angiogenic, and chemopreventative activities. It also exerts anti-inflammatory properties. Tetrahydrocurcumin has been shown to have antioxidant and protective effects against diabetes, and vascular dysfunction via alleviation of oxidative stress.
