1979- CUR,  Rad,    Dimethoxycurcumin, a metabolically stable analogue of curcumin enhances the radiosensitivity of cancer cells: Possible involvement of ROS and thioredoxin reductase
- in-vitro, Lung, A549
eff↑, As compared to its parent molecule curcumin, DIMC showed a very potent radiosensitizing effect as seen by clonogenic survival assay.
ROS↑, significant increase in cellular ROS
GSH/GSSG↓, decrease in GSH to GSSG ratio
TrxR↓, inhibition of thioredoxin reductase enzyme by DIMC
selectivity↑, DIMC can synergistically enhance the cancer cell killing when combined with radiation by targeting thioredoxin system.

6226- CUR,  Rad,    Analysis of Curcumin as a Radiosensitizer in Cancer Therapy with Serum Survivin Examination: Randomised Control Trial
- Trial, Cerv, NA
survivin↓, In the group treated with curcumin + radiation, 15 (75%) patients had decreased survivin levels, and 5 (25%) patients had increased survivin levels.
RadioS↑, curcumin is an effective, alternative radiosensitizer agent for application in cervical cancer treatment.
toxicity↓, One advantage to curcumin is its low risk of side effects compared with other radiosensitizers. Up to 12 g of curcumin per day does not cause side effects in patients
