Bixin is an orally active carotenoid found in the seeds of Bixa orellana. Bixin induces apoptosis in cancer cells. Bixin possessing anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and anti-oxidant activities. Bixin treatment ameliorated cardiac dysfunction through inhibiting fibrosis, inflammation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation.

Antiarol (3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenol) is a phenolic compound present in the trunk of Coffea canephora. Antiarol is a metabolite produced by chicken cecal microbes, whose cecal content changes dynamically with the severity of wooden breast (WB; a muscle disease prevalent in broilers) and enters the plasma through circulation.

Norbixin is a carotenoid that has been found in B. orellana.It binds to PPARγ in a cell-free assay (Ki = 1.15 μM). Norbixin attenuates hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and insulin resistance, as well as decreases serum lipid levels and cardiac levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and glutathione (GSH) in a rat model of cardio-metabolic syndrome.

Methyl-bixin (compound 2) is a diapocarotenoid that can found in the seed coat of Bixa orellana L. (annatto).

Bixin (Standard) is the analytical standard of Bixin. This product is intended for research and analytical applications.Bixin is an orally active carotenoid found in the seeds of Bixa orellana. Bixin induces apoptosis in cancer cells. Bixin possessing anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and anti-oxidant activities.
