Abstract
⺠Each molecule of curcumin is capable to reduce at least two free radicals. ⺠Antioxidant activity of curcumin's enol isomer (CurE) is more than keto isomer (CurK). ⺠Data suggest that two phenolic OH are responsible for the curcumin's activity. ⺠CurE and CurK reduce radicals via electron and H-atom transfer actions;respectively. ⺠CurE is responsible for the superb antioxidant activity of curcumin at pH 7.4.
