Product Information
Name:Echinenone
Synonyms:
- b,b-Caroten-4-one
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Echinenone is a carotenoid with high values. It inhibits the activity of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Echinenone has been found to be effective in wastewater treatment, due to its ability to bind and remove heavy metals from water. In addition, it has been shown to have photosynthetic activity and is a potential replacement for chlorophyll A in some plants. This compound is homologous to zeaxanthin and astaxanthin, which are also carotenoids. The reaction mechanism for echinenone is similar to that of other carotenoids: it undergoes oxidation by light and reacts with oxygen-containing compounds, such as peroxides or free radicals.
