Curcumin is a natural product which is isolated from curcuma longa, it was used for several centuries as an anti-inflammatory agent in traditional medicine. Curcumin has several activities including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial and anticancer activity. However, bioavailability, stability and selectivity problems associated with curcumin limited their use, that is why a great effort was done to develop curcumin mimics that overcome these problems. In this review, we will illustrate some different biological activities of curcumin mimetics.
