Abstract

Introduction: The primary aim of this study is to understand the binding of curcumin and its analogues to different PDE4 subtypes and identification of the role of PDE4 subtype inhibition in the anti-inflammatory property of curcumin. Docking analysis has been used to acquire the above mentioned structural information and this has been further used for designing of curcumin derivatives with better anti-inflammatory activity.
