saffron

Curcumin (Natural Yellow 3) is a phenolic natural product, an inhibitor of histone acetyltransferase p300/CREB (IC50=25 μM) with specificity. Curcumin has a wide range of pharmacological activities such as antitumor, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.

Safflower yellow (Saffron powder) is extracted from the flowers of the plant safflower (Carthamus tinctorius). As traditional Chinese medicine, safflower has been extensively used for the treatment of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.

Crocin is a water-soluble carotenoid pigment of saffron (Crocus sativus L.). Crocin has anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, anti-apoptotic, anti-asthma, anti-cancer, and hypolipidemic effects.

Crocin (Gardenia Yellow) is a water-soluble carotenoid pigment of saffron (Crocus sativus L. ) that has been used as a spice for flavoring and coloring food preparations, and in Chinese traditional medicine as an anodyne or tranquilizer. Crocin suppresses tumor necrosis factor (TNF)alpha-induced apoptosis of pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells by modulating mRNA expressions of Bcl-2 family proteins, which trigger downstream signals culminating in caspase-3 activation followed by cell death. Crocin prevented the activation of nSMase by enhancing the transcription of gamma-glutamylcysteinyl synthase, which contributes to a stable glutathione supply that blocks the activity of nSMase.

Ketoisophorone (2,6,6-Trimethyl-2-cyclohexene-1,4-dione) is the major ingredients of saffron spice. It is a cyclic olefin and was reported as a product of the thermal degradation of β-carotene in aqueous suspension.

Crocin-4, a carotenoid compound found in saffron, possesses potent antioxidant properties and can penetrate the brain. It effectively inhibits the aggregation and deposition of Aβ fibrils, making it useful for Alzheimer's Disease research. Additionally, Crocin-4 demonstrates antitumor and anti-inflammatory activities.

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

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

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.

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

Safranal is the special volatile aroma compound of saffron

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

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