Possible Interaction: Boron and Curcumin

supplement:

Boron

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

It is well established that curcumin strongly chelates several metal ions, including boron , cobalt, copper, gallium, gadolinium, gold, lanthanum, manganese, nickel, iron, palladium, platinum, ruthenium, silver, vanadium, and zinc.

Simple modifications of the curcumin structure raise the IC50 value but complexes of the central dihydroxy groups of curcumin with boron lower the IC50 to a value as low as 6 microM. The boron complexes are also time-dependent inactivators of the HIV proteases.
The increased affinity of the boron complexes may reflect binding of the orthogonal domains of the inhibitor in interesecting … within the substrate-binding cavity of the enzyme, while activation of the alpha, beta-unsaturated carbonyl group of curcumin by … to boron probably accounts for time-… inhibition of the enzyme.
