TLDR
It was shown that decomposition was pH-dependent and occurred faster at neutral-basic conditions and vanillin, ferulic acid, feruloyl methane were identified as minor degradation products and the amount of vanillin increased with incubation time.About:

Pharmacology of Curcuma longa
TL;DR: It appears that when given orally, curcumin is far less active than after i.p. administration, and systemic effects seem to be questionable after oral application except that they occur at very low concentrations ofCurcumin, which does not exclude a local action in the gastrointestinal tract.

Oxygen radical scavenging activity of curcumin
Elizabeth Kunchandy,M.N.A. Rao +1 more
TL;DR: Curcumin, a potent anti-inflammatory agent, has been studied for its ability to scavenge reactive oxygen radicals which are implicated in inflammation as discussed by the authors, and it has been shown that it is a good scavenger of hydroxyl radical at high concentrations but at low concentrations activated the Fenton system to generate an increased amount of hydrastic radical.

Inhibitory Effect of Curcumin, Chlorogenic Acid, Caffeic Acid, and Ferulic Acid on Tumor Promotion in Mouse Skin by 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate
TL;DR: The effects of topically applied curcumin, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, or ferulic acid on 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced epidermal ornithine decarboxylase activity, epidersmal DNA synthesis, and the promotion of skin tumors were evaluated in female CD-1 mice.

Chemoprevention of Colon Carcinogenesis by Dietary Curcumin, a Naturally Occurring Plant Phenolic Compound
TL;DR: Investigation of the chemopreventive action of dietary curcumin on azoxymethane-induced colon carcinogenesis and also the modulating effect of this agent on the colonic mucosal and tumor phospholipase A2, phospholIPase C gamma 1, lipoxygenase, and cyclo oxygengenase activities in male F344 rats indicates that dietary administration ofCurcumin significantly inhibited incidence of colon adenocarcinomas.
