Curcumin glucuronide(CAS: 227466-72-0)

Curcumin glucuronide is a biotransformation product of curcumin, a natural polyphenol found in the rhizomes of Curcuma longa. It has a chemical structure that includes a glucuronic acid moiety linked to the curcumin molecule. This compound is characterized by its hydrophilic nature and improved solubility compared to its parent compound, curcumin.

Curcumin glucuronide is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of more bioavailable forms of curcumin. It is also of interest in pharmaceutical applications for its potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and its use in dietary supplements for health benefits.

Curcumin glucuronide is generally regarded as safe (GRAS) for use in food and dietary supplements when used as directed. However, like curcumin, it should be used with caution in individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to turmeric. It is important to follow recommended dosages and consult with a healthcare provider before use.

Curcumin glucuronide should be stored in a tightly closed container to protect it from light and moisture. It should be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Proper storage conditions are essential to maintain its stability and ensure its effectiveness in applications.
