Anti-HIV, anti-tumor, anti-viral, anti-cancer, anti-fungal, and ant-parasitic properties of curcumin make it an important active ingredient in many medicines. High-purity curcumin can be obtained using a new extraction method. Increases in production were noticeable. This method of isolation and quantification had a low barrier to entry and was quick to execute. Curcumin was extracted using a soxhlet extraction experiment in this study. Diabetes Mellitus research and development can benefit from high-purity curcumin isolates. Analytical tools currently being developed can also play a significant role in the future quantification of novel dosage forms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
