Common Name(2e,8e,10e,12e,14e,16e,18e,20e,22e,24e,26e,28e,34e)-2,8,12,16,21,25,29,35-octamethyl-5,32-bis(prop-1-en-2-yl)hexatriaconta-2,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,34-tridecaene-1,36-diol
DescriptionFlavuxanthin 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, flavuxanthin is considered to be an isoprenoid.
