Abstract

Curcumin, the active component of turmeric, has been shown to protect against carcinogenesis and prevent tumor development in cancer. In our study, we tested the efficacy of a synthetic curcumin analogue, known as hydrazinocurcumin (HC), in breast cancer cells. The results demonstrated that compared to curcumin, HC was more effective in inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation and downregulation of an array of STAT3 downstream targets which contributed to suppression of cell proliferation, loss of colony formation, depression of cell migration and invasion as well as induction of cell apoptosis. It was concluded that HC is a potent agent in the inhibition of STAT3 with more favorable pharmacological activity than curcumin, and HC may have translational potential as an effective cancer therapeutic or preventive agent for human breast carcinoma.
