Abstract:
A polypeptide is isolated from Turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn) having molecular weight of about 8,000 Daltons. The polypeptide is highly water-soluble and absolutely non-toxic antioxidant, which is isolated using boiling water extraction. The polypeptide is an excellent antioxidant working at low concentration (of about 80 nM) to quench lipid peroxidation up to 90%. The polypeptide is highly effective against oxidative stress related diseases like arthritis, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, cataract, malaria, bacterial and fungal infectious diseases.
