Curcumin is a diarylheptanoid. About two centuries ago, isolation of a “yellow coloring-matter” from the rhizomes of curcuma longa (turmeric) & was named curcumin. Turmeric's other two curcuminoids are desmethoxycurcumin and bis-desmethoxy- curcumin. The curcuminoids are natural phenols that are responsible for the yellow color of turmeric. Curcumin can exist in several tautomeric forms, including a 1, 3-diketo form and two equivalent enol forms. The enol form is more energetically stable in the solid phase and in organic solvents, while in water the 1, 3-diketo dominates.
