Abstract:

Curcumin, a natural compound found in the rhizomes of turmeric, has a pronounced anti-inflammatory activity. Rodent models of depression show that this activity is similar to the effect of antidepressants (AD). Experimental data indicate that this activity may be related to the effect of curcumin on the monoamine cycle, oxidative and nitrosative stress, neurogenesis, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal, and immune systems. A number of meta-analyzes indicate the effectiveness of the combined use of curcumin with antidepressants in the treatment of depression. The mechanism of action of curcumin, as well as the prospects for its further use are considered.
