| Common Name | Astaxanthin |

| Description | Astaxanthin, 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. Astaxanthin was first documented in 2006 (PMID: 16562856). A carotenoid pigment found mainly in animals (crustaceans, echinoderms) but also occurring in plants (PMID: 16431409). |
