| Common Name | Fucoxanthin |
|---|
| Description | Fucoxanthin belongs to the class of organic compounds known as xanthophylls. These are carotenoids containing an oxygenated carotene backbone. Carotenes are characterized by the presence of two end-groups (mostly cyclohexene rings, but also cyclopentene rings or acyclic groups) linked by a long branched alkyl chain. Carotenes belonging form a subgroup of the carotenoids family. Xanthophylls arise by oxygenation of the carotene backbone. Fucoxanthin is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Fucoxanthin is present in brown seaweeds and diatoms and was first isolated from Fucus, Dictyota, and Laminaria by Willstätter and Page in 1914. It absorbs blue and green light at bandwidth 450-540 nm, imparting a brownish-olive color to algae. Fucoxanthin also reduces weight, improves blood lipid profiles, and decreased insulin resistance in animal models of obesity. Fucoxanthin is a xanthophyll that contributes more than 10% of the estimated total production of carotenoids in nature. Fucoxanthin is found in Aequipecten opercularis, Aplidium pliciferum, Chromulina ochromonoides, Corbicula japonica, Corbicula sandai, Crassostrea gigas, Cryptochiton stelleri, Cystoclonium purpureum, Desmarestia aculeata, Dolabella auricularia, Ellisolandia elongata, Fibrocapsa japonica, Fucus serratus, Fucus vesiculosus, Fucus virsoides, Gelliodes callista, Halocynthia roretzi, Ligia exotica, Magallana gigas, Meretrix petechialis, Pelagococcus subviridis, Pseudo-nitzschia multistriata, Skeletonema costatum, Sporochnus comosus, Styela plicata and Stypopodium flabelliforme. Fucoxanthin was first documented in 2004 (PMID: 14744942). In rodents, fucoxanthin displays low toxicity when administered orally. |
