CAS 27876-94-4: Crocetin

Description: Crocetin is a carotenoid compound primarily derived from saffron, the dried stigma of Crocus sativus. It is known for its vibrant orange-red color and is classified as a dicarboxylic acid. Crocetin exhibits a variety of biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential neuroprotective effects. Its structure features a long hydrocarbon chain with conjugated double bonds, contributing to its color and reactivity. Crocetin is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is often studied for its potential therapeutic applications, particularly in the fields of cancer research and neurodegenerative diseases. Additionally, crocetin is recognized for its role in enhancing the bioavailability of other compounds, making it of interest in nutritional and pharmaceutical formulations. Overall, crocetin's unique properties and health benefits make it a significant subject of research in both natural product chemistry and medicinal applications.
