Curcuminoids, a yellow constituent isolated from
Curcuma longa
Linn. rhizomes was studied
for its antispasmodic activity in isolated guinea-pig ileum and rat uterus. Curcuminoids at the con-
centration of 12 IJ.g/ml significantly inhibited the ileum pre-contracted with acetylcholine (ACh) 5 x I0-7
M .and histamine 5 x I0-

and the effects were prominently observed when the concentration of curcuminoids was increased to
36 IJ.g/ml. (Force of contraction
