Abstract
Curcumin and some of its derivatives were known as in vivo inhibitors of angiogenesis. In present study, a novel curcumin derivative, named hydrazinocurcumin (HC) was synthesized and examined for its biological activities. HC potently inhibited the proliferation of bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) at a nanomolar concentration (IC50=520 nM) without cytotoxicity. In vivo and in vitro angiogenesis experiments showed HC as a new candidate for anti-angiogenic agent.
