Curcumin has antioxidant properties and in animal models has numerous molecular targets, many of which are intracellular, such as transcription factors AP-1 and NF. As such, it inhibits the secretion of both pro-inflammatory (TNF-, IL-6) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) cytokines, possibly by inhibiting transcription factors such as nuclear factor-B (NF-B) and activator protein-1 (AP-1) (Wong et al).
