In the recent studies at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research in Bangalore, scientists fed curcumine to HlV-infected cells in the laboratory, the virus stopped replicating. Curcumine could be used to help formulate a combination of drugs to treat HIV infection. Curcumine stops an enzyme called p300 from performing its normal role of controlling the activity of human genes. Because HIV integrates itself into human genetic material, when p300 stops working, the virus can no longer multiply.

Treatment in Neurological Diseases: Turmeric is also helpful in treating and preventing neurological diseases like Alzheimer.
