Curcumin has been extensively studied for its anti-inflammatory activities. However, its potential beneficial effects on various disease preventions and treatments are limited by its unstable structure. The beta-diketone moiety renders curcumin to be rapidly metabolized by aldo -keto reductase in liver. In the present study, a series of curcumin analogues with more stable chemical structures were synthesized and several compounds showed an enhanced ability to inhibit lipopolysaccharide ( LPS)-induced TNF-alpha and IL-6 synthesis in macrophages.
