crocetin

β-Crocetin is a natural product from Plant

Crocetin (Transcrocetin) meglumine, sourced from Crocus sativus L. (saffron), functions as a high-affinity antagonist of the NMDA receptor.

Crocetin dialdehyde, a natural product, is present in saffron [1].

Crocetin β-D-glucopyranoside, an active component of saffron pigments[1].

Transcrocetin (8,8'-Diapocarotenedioic Acid) is a singlet oxygen quencher.

Transcrocetin meglumine salt is a natural product isolated from saffron (Crocus sativus L.) and is a high-affinity antagonist of the NMDA receptor.

Crocin III (Crocetin-mono-(β-D-gentiobiosyl)-ester) is a crocin derived from saffron (Crocus sutivus L.). Crocins inhibit the cell growth of tumor cells and have anti-inflammatory activity.

Crocin II (Crocetin gentiobiosylglucosyl ester) has anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects against gastric ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats, the effect of crocin is mainly mediated by reducing the protein expression of iNOS and caspase-3. Crocin II can ameliorate CCl4-induced liver injury via inhibition of inflammatory cytokines, caspase3 and oxidative stress along with modulation of liver metabolizing enzymes favoring elimination of CCl4 toxic metabolite. Crocin II has antihyperlipidemic effect, may be due to the inhibition of pancreatic lipase and crocin, and its metabolite, Crocin II , can improve hyperlipidemia. Crocin has antidepressant effects by increasing CREB, BDNF and VGF levels in hippocampus.

Transcrocetinate disodium (Disodium trans-crocetinate), extracted from saffron (Crocus sativus L.), is a high-affinity antagonist of NMDA receptor.

Crocetine dimethyl ester (Dimethylcrocetin) is a saffronin derivative exhibiting antioxidant properties, inhibition of AChE activity, and suppression of cell growth and differentiation.

Crocin IV (Dicrocin), a crocetin glycoside from the carotenoid pigments, exhibits significant antioxidant activity [1].
