Curcumin's ability to inhibit lipoxygenase by binding to either lipoxygenase or phosphatidylcholine micelles demonstrates its broad range of action. Curcumin also suppresses tumour invasion and angiogenesis by binding to CD13/aminopeptidase in an irreversible manner. It has also been found to prevent aggregation and fibril formation in vitro and in vivo by binding tiny -amyloid species directly.
