Celecoxib and Curcumin Phytosome: what the published research says

PubMed indexes 8 records that name Celecoxib and Curcumin Phytosome together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.

An evidence index, not guidance.

Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.

This page lists published research relevant to Celecoxib and Curcumin Phytosome. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.

The research

8 studies naming Celecoxib and Curcumin Phytosome.

Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.

Celecoxib and curcumin synergistically inhibit the growth of colorectal cancer cells.

Clinical cancer research : an official journal of the American Association for Cancer Research · 2005 · PMID 16166455

Comparative StudyHuman subjects

“Curcumin potentiates the growth inhibitory effect of celecoxib by shifting the dose-response curve to the left. The synergistic growth inhibitory effect was mediated through a mechanism that probably involves inhibition of the COX-2 pathway and may involve other non-COX-2 pathways. This synergistic effect is clinically important because it can be achieved in the serum of patients receiving standard anti-inflammatory or antineoplastic dosages of celecoxib.”

Lev-Ari et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names both Celecoxib and Curcumin Phytosome in its title.

Curcumin-Loaded Chitosan Nanoparticle Preparation and Its Protective Effect on Celecoxib-induced Toxicity in Rat isolated Cardiomyocytes and Mitochondria.

Drug research · 2023 · PMID 36423624

Animal study

“The results showed that celecoxib (20 µg/ml) induced a significant increase in cytotoxicity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, mitochondria membrane potential (ΔΨm) collapse, lipid peroxidation, oxidative stress and mitochondrial swelling while CuCsSLN and curcumin reverted the above toxic effect of celecoxib.”

Ebrahimi et al. · From the abstract

Names both Celecoxib and Curcumin Phytosome in its title.

A nano curcumin-multi-walled carbon nanotube composite as a fluorescence chemosensor for trace determination of celecoxib in serum samples.

Analytical methods : advancing methods and applications · 2022 · PMID 36377826

“The detection limit based on three times the standard deviation of the blank was 5.8 ng mL-1 for celecoxib and relative standard deviations (RSD) of 3.6% and 1.8% were obtained for eight replicate determinations of 60 ng mL-1 and 180 ng mL-1 of celecoxib, respectively. The method was applied to the determination of celecoxib in serum samples.”

Pourreza et al. · From the abstract

Names both Celecoxib and Curcumin Phytosome in its title.

Curcumin-Celecoxib: a synergistic and rationale combination chemotherapy for breast cancer.

European review for medical and pharmacological sciences · 2021 · PMID 33660801

Human subjects

“Our findings show the prominent anti-proliferative effects of celecoxib and/or curcumin on MDA-MB-231 cells, providing a rationale for further detailed preclinical and potential clinical studies of this combination for breast cancer therapy. Further, these computed parameters suggested that curcumin possesses a high tendency to act as an adjuvant drug with celecoxib in the treatment of breast cancer.”

Alqahtani et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names both Celecoxib and Curcumin Phytosome in its title.

Celecoxib prevents curcumin-induced apoptosis in a hematopoietic cancer cell model.

Molecular carcinogenesis · 2015 · PMID 24798089

Human subjects

“Similar results have been obtained when celecoxib and curcumin were co-administrated at the same time. Overall our data suggest that this natural and synthetic drug combination is detrimental for cell death induction.”

Sobolewski et al. · From the abstract

Names both Celecoxib and Curcumin Phytosome in its title.

Limitations

What this evidence cannot tell you.

Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:

NutriStack

Track what you actually take.

NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Celecoxib, Curcumin Phytosome, and several hundred other substances.

The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
