3-hydroxy-beta,beta-carotene-4,4'-dione

Description:
3-Hydroxy-beta,beta-carotene-4,4'-dione, with the CAS number 4418-72-8, is a carotenoid compound characterized by its vibrant orange-red color, which is typical of many carotenoids. This substance features a polyene chain with conjugated double bonds, contributing to its stability and reactivity. The presence of a hydroxyl group at the 3-position and two keto groups at the 4 and 4' positions distinguishes it from other carotenoids, influencing its solubility and biological activity. It is known for its antioxidant properties, which can help in neutralizing free radicals, thus potentially offering health benefits. This compound is often studied for its role in photosynthesis and its potential applications in nutrition and food coloring. Additionally, it may exhibit various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects, although further research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms and efficacy. As with many carotenoids, it is sensitive to light and heat, which can lead to degradation, affecting its stability and functionality in different environments.

    rac-Adonirubin

    CAS:
    <p>rac-Adonirubin is a type strain that is used as a model system for the study of plant metabolism. It is an acidic pigment that belongs to the genus Astaxanthin. The hydroxyl group in rac-adonirubin has been shown to be important for its carotenoid activity, and it is believed to play a role in the regulation of astaxanthin synthesis. The dry weight of rac-adonirubin has been shown to be dependent on the presence of wild-type strains, suggesting that it may function as an antioxidant. Wild-type strains have also been shown to produce ketocarotenoids, which are related to xanthophylls found in plants.</p>
