ABSTRACT

Recently microwave-induced chemical synthesis of curcumin-metformin adduct to enhance the efficacy of metformin in preventing the formation ofAdvanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) has been reported from authors’ laboratory. The present studies describemicrowave-induced chemical synthesis and mass spectral characterization of curcumin-phenformin adducts using LC-MS/MS. The mechanism of formation and its analytical data via Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) combined with MS/MS fragmentation revealed a major six membered ring adduct and a minor eight membered ring isomer. A facile chemical synthesis and identification of major and minor isomers presented in this study may offer novel therapeutic strategies for inhibiting AGEs as well as anti-cancer treatments.
