Curcumin and its natural congeners are of current interest because of their putative anti- inflammatory and anticarcinogenic activities, but knowledge about their metabolic fate is scant. In the present study conducted with precision-cut liver slices from male and female Sprague-Dawley rats, five reductive but no oxidative metabolites of curcumin and its demethoxy and bis-demethoxy analogues were observed and identified by HPLC and GC ...
