Abstract
Turmeric plays a pivotal role in human health. It has manifold benefits such as antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects. Curcumin isolated from turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) exhibited manifold health benefits. Similarly, noncurcuminoids such as turmerones, furanodiene (FN), bisacurone, germacrone, calebin A (CA), curdione, elemenes, and curcumol showed appreciable anticancer activities in numerous studies. However, low bioavailability impedes their success. This chapter highlights the pros and cons of a variety of curcuminoids and noncurcuminoids. It primarily throws light on anticancer and antiinflammatory properties of the above mentioned compounds.
