Therapeutic potential of curcumin in ARDS and COVID-19.

Researchers developed a stable, water-soluble form of curcumin, called CDC, which effectively reduces lung injury and inflammation in mice following bacterial exposure. Recently, CDC was found to reduce gene and protein expression of key factors involved in COVID-19 pathogenesis. This review considers the potential of curcumin in treating COVID-19 and bacterial/viral-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) through modulating inflammation.
