Abstract

Herbal agents are the most widely used products in alternative and complementary medicine. Curcumin is a yellow pigment derived from the Curcuma longa tuber. As an anticancer agent, curcumin has been found in a number of studies to suppress tumorigenesis in cancers of the skin, breast glands, oral cavity, stomach, esophagus, bowel, colon, lung, and liver. Moreover, curcumin treatment also enhances the effectiveness of radiotherapy. In addition to its antitumor effects, curcumin also has effects on normal tissues. Many studies have demonstrated an effect of the antioxidant properties of curcumin on reducing damage induced by alcohol, drugs, radiation, heavy metals, etc. In this paper, the anticancer properties of curcumin, together with its radioprotective effects, are reviewed. The results obtained from a number of clinical studies using curcumin are also summarized.

Özet

Bitkisel ajanlar alternatif ve tamamlayıcı tıpta en çok kullanılan ürünlerdendir. Curcumin, Curcuma longa bitki-sinin yumrularından elde edilen sarı renkli bir pigmenttir. Curcuminin antikanser bir ajan olarak; deri, meme bez-leri, oral kavite, mide, özofagus, bağırsak, kolon, akciğer ve karaciğerde tümörogenezi baskıladığı bazı çalışma-larda gösterilmiştir. Ayrıca curcuminin radyoterapinin etkisini artırmak sureti ile tedaviden daha hızlı sonuç alınmasını sağladığı gösterilmiştir. Bu etkilerine ilaveten antioksidan özellik göstermesiyle de alkolün, ilaçların, radyasyonun, ağır metallerin normal dokular üzerinde oluşturduğu hasarları önleyici etkisini vurgulayan pek çok çalışma mevcuttur. Bu derlemede, curcuminin anti-kanser özellikleri ve radyoprotektif etkileri üzerinde durularak, yapılan çalışmalardan elde edilen sonuçlar özetlenmiştir.
