Bixaceae

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 an orally active natural product with multiple activities such as retinal protection and oxidative stress regulation. Norbixin scavenges ROS, chelates metal ions, regulates plasmid and genomic DNA breakage, inhibits H₂O₂-induced mutagenesis, activates PPAR-α, modulates lipid levels, restores or regulates antioxidant enzyme activity, and alters NO levels. Norbixin prevents A2E accumulation and protects photoreceptor cells and retinal pigment epithelial cells. Norbixin is a derivative of Bixin (HY-N6884). Norbixin can be used in research related to diseases such as macular degeneration and diabetes, and also serves as a natural textile dye.

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