Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) has chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic potentials against various types of cancers. We have developed a series of curcumin analogs to improve its low bioavailability by enhancing its potentials. The newly synthesized analog GO-Y030 [(1E, 4E)-1,5-bis-(3,5(-bismethoxymethoxyphenyl) penta-1,4-dien-3-one] showed a 30-fold greater growth suppression in vitro via similar molecular...
