Produktinformation

• Name: Crocin - microscopy grade
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Crocin is a carotenoid found in the fruit of Crocus sativus. It has been shown to have potential anticancer activity, as well as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Crocin has demonstrated significant cytotoxicity against cancer cells in vitro. The mechanism of action is not fully understood, but it may be due to its ability to inhibit oxidative injury and receptor activity. Crocin has also been shown to have an effect on eye disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration, which may be due to its antioxidant properties. The analytical method for crocin is high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). HPLC separation is achieved using a reversed-phase column with gradient elution using water, acetonitrile and methanol. Preparative HPLC is used for isolation from natural sources.
