Descripción

Rac-Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant and anticancer agent that has been shown to inhibit tumor growth through multiple mechanisms. It inhibits kinases involved in cancer cell proliferation and survival, leading to apoptosis or programmed cell death. Rac-Astaxanthin has also been shown to enhance the activity of rifampicin, a commonly used antibiotic for the treatment of tuberculosis. This compound acts as a kinase inhibitor against various types of cancers, including Chinese hamster ovary cells and human colon cancer cells. In addition, rac-Astaxanthin analogs have been found in urine samples from healthy individuals, suggesting its potential use as a biomarker for cancer diagnosis. Overall, rac-Astaxanthin shows great promise as a natural alternative for cancer prevention and treatment.
