Turmeric in Latin is Curcuma longa. The roots of the plant are stemlike and are used as an herb in Asian cooking such as curries.Curcumin (diferuloylmethane), a polyphenol natural product of the plant Curcuma longa and a component of the popular Indian curry spice turmeric, may be an anticancer agent.
Researchers at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center studied the possible anticancer mechanisms of curcumin.
The study found that curcumin inhibited growth of rhabdomyosarcoma cells (Rh1 and Rh30) and arrested cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle.
Curcumin also induced apoptosis (cell death) and inhibited the basal or type I insulin-like growth factor-induced motility of the cells.
At physiological concentrations, curcumin rapidly inhibited phosphorylation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and its downstream effector molecules in a panel of cell lines.
Curcumin also inhibited phosphorylation of Akt in the cells, but only at high concentrations.
