17-Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-146-heptatrien-3-one is a curcuminoid antioxidant found in turmeric (Curcuma longa) and torch ginger (Etlingera elatior). Mohamad et al. (2005) found that the curcuminoids 17-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-146-heptatrien-3-one demethoxycurcumin and 16-hydroxylabda-8(17)1113-trien-1516-olideinhibit lipid peroxidation more potently than does alpha-tocopherol.
