Imitation andApplication of curcumin
1.Low water solubility. Curcumin is a relatively hydrophobic and lipophilic molecule, almost insoluble in water but soluble in polar solvents such as methanol, ethanol and acetone.
2.Instability. The stability of curcumin is affected by environmental conditions, including high temperature, light, extreme pH value, water and oxygen, which may cause the oxidation of curcumin, especially the phenolic hydroxyl functional group ofcurcumin.
3. Low bioavailability. Numerous studies evaluating serum or tissue levels of curcumin or its metabolites after administration have found low oral bioavailability of curcumin. This may be due to the rapid metabolism of curcumin after oral administration, most of which degrades in tissues such as the liver and small intestine before it enters the systemic circulation. In addition, the hydrophobicity of curcumin means that most of the curcumin ingested by mouth cannot be absorbed by the intestinal epithelium, or if it is absorbed by the intestinal epithelium, it can be flushed back into the lumen through the outflow system. Application and limitation ofcurcumin.
