Curcumin inhibits the bacterial division by blocking FtsZ assembly. (A), working model of curcumin for the inhibition of bacterial division. (B), curcumin can activate the activity of GTP and interact with FtsZ, blocking the FtsZ assembly [65]. (C,D), the interaction site of FtsZ with curcumin in E. coli and B. subtilis strains, respectively [66].
