CA-5f

CA-5f is a curcumin analog that has been shown to have anti-tumor effects in various cancer cell lines. CA-5f inhibits tumor growth by inducing autophagy and apoptosis, which are processes that result in the death of cells. It also has a reactive property that makes it more likely to bind to DNA and to interact with other compounds. CA-5f is currently undergoing clinical trials for use as an anticancer agent.
