Common Namerac-Astaxanthin
DescriptionAstaxanthin, also known as e 161J or ovoester, 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. Thus, astaxanthin is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. A carotenone that consists of beta,beta-carotene-4,4'-dione bearing two hydroxy substituents at positions 3 and 3' (the 3S,3'S diastereomer). Astaxanthin is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Astaxanthin exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. It can occur free (as a red pigment), as an ester, or as a blue, brown or green chromoprotein. rac-Astaxanthin is found in Acanthephyra purpurea, Agrobacterium aurantiacum, Calanus pacificus, Cladonia ciliata, Cladonia ecmocyna, Ctenopharyngodon idella, Euphausia superba, Gelliodes callista, Halocynthia roretzi, Linckia laevigata, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, Mytilus coruscus, Nephroma laevigatum, Paracoccus haeundaensis, Paralithodes brevipes, Phaffia rhodozyma, Protula tubularia and Styela clava. rac-Astaxanthin was first documented in 2006 (PMID: 16562856). A carotenoid pigment found mainly in animals (crustaceans, echinoderms) but also occurring in plants (PMID: 16431409).
