Curcumin also has significant economic value and a wide range of pharmacological effects, such as lowering blood lipids, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-atherosclerotic effects. In 2004, it was discovered that curcumin can inhibit the activity of HIV-1 integrase, leading to its use in clinical trials for AIDS. Moreover, anti-cancer activity is one of the main pharmacological actions of curcumin, and its tumor-inhibiting effects have been repeatedly confirmed in many animal experiments, with its specific anti-cancer mechanisms becoming a recent research focus.
