<p>9'-cis-Neoxanthin is a carotenoid that belongs to the class of xanthophylls. It is found in high concentrations in the seeds of peas, spinach, and corn. 9'-cis-Neoxanthin has been shown to inhibit prostate cancer cells by targeting their transcriptional regulation. 9'-cis-Neoxanthin is a precursor for violaxanthin, which is a powerful antioxidant that can scavenge free radicals. This molecule also binds to DNA polymerase and inhibits its activity. The structural analysis of 9'-cis-Neoxanthin has revealed that it contains two chromophores: one with an oxygenated end (the neoxanthin side chain) and one with an unsaturated end (the other side chain).</p>
