The natural bioactive compounds of Curcuma longa, known as curcuminoids, has been shown to exerts anticancer effects to diverse cancer cell line in vitro, including breast cancer cell line. These curcuminoids consist of curcumin (Cur), demethoxycurcumin (DMC) and bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC). Furthermore, there has never been a study to compare the extent of antiproliferative and apoptotic modulation potential between Cur, DMC and BDMC in the breast cancer cell, until now. In the present study, we explore the efficacy among Cur, DMC and BDMC to alters MCF-7 cell viability, which might lead to apoptotic modulation.
