Curcumin modulates the immune response associated with LPS-induced periodontal disease in rats
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2012-02-01)
Curcumin is a plant-derived dietary spice ascribed various biological activities. Curcumin therapeutic applications have been studied in a variety of conditions, but not on periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is a ...
Curcumin-mediated photodynamic inactivation of Candida albicans in a murine model of oral candidiasis
(2013-04-01)
In vitro investigations of curcumin-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) are encouraging, but there is a lack of reliable in vivo evidence of its efficacy. This study describes the photoinactivation of Candida albicans in ...
Curcumin antifungal and antioxidant activities are increased in the presence of ascorbic acid
(Elsevier B.V., 2012-08-01)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the antifungal and antioxidant activities of curcumin, ascorbic acid and the mixture of these two compounds. For the antifungal assay, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) ...
Investigation of the Photodynamic Effects of Curcumin Against Candida albicans
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-07-01)
This study describes the association of curcumin with light emitting diode (LED) for the inactivation of Candida albicans. Suspensions of Candida were treated with nine curcumin concentrations and exposed to LED at different ...
Potent anti-inflammatory effects of systemically administered curcumin modulate periodontal disease in vivo
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-04-01)
Background and Objective:Curcumin is a plant-derived dietary spice with various biological activities, including anticarcinogenic and anti-inflammatory effects. Its therapeutic applications have been studied in a variety ...
Thermodynamic and kinetic analyses of curcumin and bovine serum albumin binding
(Food Chemistry, 2018)
Phototoxic effect of curcumin on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and L929 fibroblasts
(2013-02-01)
Photodynamic therapy has been investigated as an alternative method of killing pathogens in response to the multiantibiotic resistance problem. This study evaluated the photodynamic effect of curcumin on methicillin-resistant ...
Photodynamic antimicrobial therapy of curcumin in biofilms and carious dentine
(2013-06-24)
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a technique that involves the activation of photosensitizers by light in the presence of oxygen, resulting in the production of reactive radicals that are capable of inducing cell death. The ...
Photodynamic potential of curcumin and blue LED against streptococcus mutans in a planktonic culture
(2013-09-01)
Background: The photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves the use of light of specific wavelength to activate a nontoxic photosensitizing agent or dye in the presence of oxygen for eradication of target cells. In dentistry, this ...
