Curcumin-D6 is deuterium-labeled curcumin (Turmeric yellow). Curcumin (T1516) (Turmeric yellow) is a natural phenolic compound with various pharmacological effects,including anti-inflammatory,antioxidant,anti-proliferative and anti-angiogenic activities. Curcumin (T1516) is an inhibitor of p300 histone acetyltransferases (HATs),and also shows inhibitory effects on NF-κB and MAPKs.
Selective p300 histone acetyltransferase (HAT) inhibitor (IC50 = 50-500 nM). Exhibits approximately 100-fold selectivity for p300 over PCAF (IC50 = 200 μM). Inhibits p300-dependent transcription. Active in vivo.
