InChIKey: JKQXZKUSFCKOGQ-YOPUJPICSA-N
SMILES: CC1(C)C(/C=C/C(C)=C/C=C/C(C)=C/C=C/C=C(C)/C=C/C=C(C)/C=C/C2=C(C)C[C@@H](O)CC2(C)C)=C(C)C[C@H](O)C1
Biological Activity: meso-Zeaxanthin ((3R,3′S)-Zeaxanthin) is an orally active xanthophyll carotenoid. meso-Zeaxanthin inhibits CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2B1/2, COX-2, TNF-α and iNOS, and enhances the activities of Uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase and Glutathione-S-transferase. meso-Zeaxanthin quenches oxygen free radicals. meso-Zeaxanthin filters short-wavelength blue light, alleviates oxidative damage and visual abnormalities. meso-Zeaxanthin reduces tumor incidence, prolongs tumor latency and survival rate of tumor-bearing mice, and inhibits paw edema. meso-Zeaxanthin can be used in research related to sarcoma and age-related macular degeneration[1][2][3][4].
