Function
1. Inhibit tumor growth
Curcuma alcohol extract has cytotoxic effects on lymphocytes and Dalton lymphoma cells
2. Choleretic effect
Turmeric decoction and infusion can increase bile secretion in dogs, return bile components to normal, and increase gallbladder contraction. Its effect is weak and long-lasting, lasting 1 to 2 hours. Its choleretic effect is related to its lowering of blood lipids. Curcumin or its sodium salt has a choleretic effect, and 50% turmeric decoction can promote appetite.
3. Anti-peroxidation
Curcumin can significantly antagonize the peroxidation of the brain, heart, liver, kidney, and spleen homogenates of NIH mice.
4. Anti-pathogenic microorganisms and protozoa
Curcuma alcohol extract and its active ingredients can inhibit the growth of most bacteria that cause cholecystitis. Curcuma alcohol extract has anti-histomoebic effects in vitro.
5. Anti-mutagenic effect
Curcumin can inhibit the mutagenicity of several environmental mutagens (cigars, cigarette smoke, tobacco leaves and malt extracts, benzopyrene, dimethylbenzanthracene, etc.) in a dose-effect relationship. Curcumin can change Metabolic activation and detoxification of mutagens.
6. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects
Curcumin and volatile oil parts have good antibacterial effects on Staphylococcus aureus. Turmeric extract has an inhibitory effect on a variety of fungi. Curcumin has a significant inhibitory effect on experimental inflammation in mice and rats, has an anti-inflammatory effect on rheumatoid arthritis, and has a certain effect on reducing spermatic cord edema and tenderness. .
7. Anti-fertility effect
Turmeric extract has a significant terminating effect on pregnancy in mice, rats and rabbits by antagonizing progesterone activity and contracting the uterus. Experiments have shown that turmeric decoction and infusion have exciting effects on isolated uteri and uterine fistulas in mice and guinea pigs. It strengthens the paroxysmal contraction of the uterus and can last for 5 to 7 hours, showing an anti-pregnancy effect.
8. Effect on gastrointestinal tract
Rats were given turmeric ethanol extract by gavage. It had a significant anti-ulcer effect on ulcers caused by high temperature restraint stress, pyloric ligation, indomethacin and reserpine, and showed very obvious protection against gastric damage caused by cyst destroyers. effect. Turmeric ethanol extract not only significantly thickened the gastric mucosal wall, but also restored the content of non-protein sulfhydryl groups in the gastric glands of rats.
9. Effect on cardiovascular system
Curcuma alcohol extract showed inhibitory effects on frog hearts in vitro and in vivo. Intravenous injection into dogs can cause blood pressure to drop and breathing to be excited. Its antihypertensive effect is not affected by atropine and vagus nerve cutting. If ergot extract is injected first, its antihypertensive effect can be reversed into a blood pressure increasing effect. Administering curcumin can increase myocardial nutritional blood flow in mice. Oral administration of turmeric extract can antagonize pituitaryin-induced myocardial ischemia in rats.
10. Used for lowering blood lipids
Oral administration of turmeric extract, curcumin, and volatile oil has significant effects on lowering serum cholesterol and β-lipoprotein in rats and rabbits with experimental hyperlipidemia, and can also reduce liver cholesterol and correct the ratio of β- and α-lipoprotein. dysregulated, but had no effect on endogenous cholesterol, and also reduced triglyceride and cholesterol content in the liver of the aorta of hyperlipidemic rats.
11. Anticoagulation and inhibition of platelet aggregation
Oral administration of curcumin alcohol extract or curcumin can inhibit ADP-induced platelet aggregation in hyperlipidemic rats. Curcumin can enhance fibrinolytic activity. Turmeric ether extract can inhibit arachidonic acid-induced human platelet aggregation and the production of thromboxane B2 (TXB2), while increasing the products catalyzed by lipoxygenase.
12.Other functions
Turmeric extract and curcumin can enhance fibrinolytic activity, protect the liver, and resist liver fibrosis. Turmeric decoction has an analgesic effect on postoperative inflammation and surgical site pain; turmeric decoction has an inhibitory effect on hepatitis virus. It also has the effect of improving liver parenchymal lesions.
