Curcumin 4,4′-diacetate（Cat No.:M004731） is a modified form of curcumin, where both phenolic hydroxyl groups of the natural curcumin molecule are acetylated. This chemical modification aims to enhance curcumin’s physicochemical properties, such as solubility and stability, which can improve its therapeutic efficacy. Curcumin is widely researched for its potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer activities. By acetylating it to form curcumin 4,4′-diacetate, researchers hope to increase its bioavailability, meaning more of the compound can be absorbed and utilized by the body, potentially enhancing its effectiveness in clinical applications.
