Description

Violaxanthin is a carotenoid that is used as a model system for the study of the biosynthesis of plant pigments. It is also used for the treatment of congestive heart failure. Violaxanthin is synthesized from chlorophyll a and can be found in photosynthetic organisms such as algae and plants. Violaxanthin has been observed to have reactive properties and epoxidase activity, which are vital for its role in biochemical composition. In vivo experiments have shown that violaxanthin can inhibit breast cancer cells by depleting their energy resources. Violaxanthin is also known to act as an antioxidant, which allows it to protect against reactive oxygen species that are produced during oxidative stress. The disulfide bond between two cysteine residues in violaxanthin contributes to its stability, making it resistant against oxidation by reactive oxygen species.END>>
