Abstract:
Introduction: Cancer is the major cause of death globally. Cancer can be treated with
naturally occurring Curcumin nuclei. Curcumin has a wide range of biological actions, including
anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Even though it is an effective medicinal entity, it has
some limitations such as instability at physiological pH and a weak pharmacokinetic profile due to
the β-diketone moiety present in it. To overcome this drawback, research was carried out on monoketone
moieties in curcumin, popularly known as mono-carbonyl curcumin.
Objective: The present review focuses on different synthetic schemes and Mono-carbonyl curcumin
derivative's Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) as a cytotoxic inhibitory anticancer agent. The
various synthetic schemes published by researchers were compiled.
Methods: Findings of different researchers working on mono-carbonyl curcumin as an anticancer
have been reviewed, analyzed and the outcomes were summarized.
Results: The combination of all of these approaches serves as a one-stop solution for mono-carbonyl
curcumin synthesis. The important groups on different positions of mono-carbonyl curcumin
were discovered by a SAR study focused on cytotoxicity, which could be useful in the designing
of its derivatives.
Conclusion: Based on our examination of the literature, we believe that this review will help researchers
design and develop powerful mono-carbonyl curcumin derivatives that can be proven
essential for anticancer activity.
