Spheroidenone

Description:

Spheroidenone is a natural carotenoid pigment, primarily known for its role in photosynthetic organisms. It is characterized by its vibrant orange-red color, which is attributed to its conjugated double bond system that allows for the absorption of light in the visible spectrum. This compound is produced by certain bacteria and algae, contributing to their coloration and functioning in light-harvesting processes. Spheroidenone is structurally similar to other carotenoids, featuring a long hydrocarbon chain with multiple double bonds, which enhances its stability and solubility in organic solvents. It is also known for its antioxidant properties, which can help protect cells from oxidative damage. In terms of applications, spheroidenone has potential uses in food coloring, cosmetics, and as a dietary supplement due to its health benefits. Its unique properties make it a subject of interest in both biochemical research and industrial applications.

Spheroidenone

CAS: 13836-70-9

Spheroidenone is a fatty acid-derived carotenoid and hydroxyl group that is found in low light environments. It has been shown to be an effective dose for the treatment of certain types of cancer, such as breast cancer. Spheroidenone is an analog of astaxanthin, a type of molecule that contains a carbonyl group. The wild-type strain of this molecule is found in the genus "Cyanobacteria." The growth factor and syndrome type are unknown at this time.
