Turmeric exhibits antihepatotoxic, antihyperlipidemic, antithrombotic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, it has antioxidative, antitumoral, and antimicrobial effects, particularly from its sesquiterpene derivatives. Turmeric inhibits prostaglandin synthesis, and its anti-inflammatory effects are believed to stem from the inhibition of leukotriene biosynthesis, which subsequently alters prostaglandin production. Alpha-turmerone inhibits the proliferation of human lymphocytes and reduces the activity of natural killer cells. Curcumin has antineoplastic properties through an antiproliferative mechanism.
