What is the Fucoxanthin?

Fucoxanthin is Crystalline solid, while it's Molecular Formula is C 42 H 58 O 6 . Crystalline solid Fucoxanthin has been used to study its neuroprotective effects. It has also been used in calibration to identify the most efficient fucoxanthin producing strains of microalgae.

What is the CAS number for Fucoxanthin?

The CAS number of Fucoxanthin is 3351-86-8.

What is Fucoxanthin (3351-86-8) used for?

Fucoxanthin is another important xanthophyll. It is widely found in heterokontophyta, such as brown algae and oceanic microalgae,and is believed be the second-most abundant carotenoid on Earth after β-carotene. Recently, studies on the functionality of fucoxanthin have been increasingly conducted,and fucoxanthin has been shown to possess various beneficial physiological activities.It has various pharmaceutical effects such as anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-obesity effects, protecting nerve cell, increasing the content of ARA(arachidonic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in mice; It is widely used as medicine, skin care and beauty industry, and in the Food supplements market.InChI:InChI=1/C42H60O7/c1-29(18-14-19-31(3)22-23-37-38(6,7)26-35(49-33(5)43)27-40(37,10)46)16-12-13-17-30(2)20-15-21-32(4)36(45)28-42(48)39(8,9)24-34(44)25-41(42,11)47/h12-22,34-35,44,46-48H,24-28H2,1-11H3/b13-12+,18-14+,20-15+,29-16+,30-17+,31-19+,32-21+/t23-,34-,35-,40+,41+,42-/m0/s1
