Synthesis and antineoplastic activity of novel water-soluble curcumol derivatives

  • Published:
Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

6-Succinyl curcumol sodium salt was synthesized by reaction of curcumol with succinic acid. The structure of the derivative was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Furthermore, the derivative showed antitumor activity, which makes it a promising antitumor drug candidate that overcomes the insolubility in water.
