Indicaxanthin

Description:

Indicaxanthin is a natural pigment belonging to the class of betalains, which are water-soluble compounds responsible for the red and yellow colors in various plants. It is primarily derived from the prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica) and is known for its vibrant yellow to orange hue. Indicaxanthin exhibits antioxidant properties, which contribute to its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory effects and the ability to scavenge free radicals. The compound is stable under acidic conditions but may degrade in alkaline environments. Indicaxanthin is also recognized for its potential applications in the food industry as a natural colorant, as well as in dietary supplements due to its health-promoting attributes. Its chemical structure includes a betacyanin backbone, which is responsible for its distinctive color and biological activity. As a naturally occurring compound, indicaxanthin is generally regarded as safe for consumption, making it an appealing alternative to synthetic colorants in various products.

Indicaxanthin

CAS: 2181-75-1

Indicaxanthin is a natural pigment that has been found to possess potent anticancer properties. It is an analog of oseltamivir, a drug used to treat influenza by inhibiting the neuraminidase enzyme. Indicaxanthin has been shown to inhibit the activity of kinases, which are enzymes involved in cell signaling pathways that regulate cell growth and proliferation. This inhibition leads to apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells. Studies have demonstrated that indicaxanthin has anticancer effects against various types of cancer, including breast, colon, and prostate cancer. Additionally, it has been detected in human urine following ingestion of foods containing this pigment, suggesting that it may have potential as a dietary supplement for cancer prevention and treatment.
