Enterococcus avium, producing 5R-hexahydrocurcumin metabolized tetrahydrocurcumin to octahydrocurcumin in vitro. Based on a detailed analysis of the two secondary alcohols, the metabolite obtained from tetrahydrocurcumin via 5R-hexahydrocurcumin was identified as 3R,5R-octahydrocurcumin. The activities of 5R-hexahydrocurcumin and 3R,5R-octahydrocurcumin were compared to those of the synthetic compounds, using monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 produced via murine adipocytes in vitro. The optically active curcuminoids reduced the cytokine production similar to tetrahydrocurcumin without any difference in their stereochemistry.
