A method for inhibiting and/or ameliorating the occurrence of diseases associated with reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, radicals and/or non-radicals in a subject whereby a subject is administered a carotenoid analog or derivative, either alone or in combination with another carotenoid analog or derivative, or co-antioxidant formulation. The analog or derivative is administered such that the subject's risk of experiencing diseases associated with reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, radicals and/or non-radicals may be thereby reduced. The analog or analog combination may be administered to a subject for the inhibition and/or amelioration of any disease that involves production of reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, radicals and/or non-radicals. In some embodiments, the invention may include a pharmaceutical composition including an analog or derivative of a carotenoid. The carotenoid analog or derivative may be synthetic. The carotenoid analog may include a conjugated polyene with between 7 to 14 double bonds. The conjugated polyene may include an acyclic alkene including at least one substituent and/or a cyclic ring including at least one substituent. In some embodiments, a carotenoid analog or derivative may include at least one substituent. The substituent may enhance the solubility of the carotenoid analog or derivative such that the carotenoid analog or derivative at least partially dissolves in water. In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition may include a biologically inactive carrier. The pharmaceutical composition may be adapted to be administered to a human subject.
By high-field two-dimensional 1 H NMR methods, the stereochemistry of the polyene chain has been assigned to four naturallyoccurring, isomeric mono- cis -lutein epoxides. The assignments corroborate our earlier suggestions according to which in Helianthus annuus the 9- cis isomer occurs without its 9′- cis counterpart. The stereomutation of natural lutein epoxide has also been studied.
摘要 通过高场二维 1 H NMR 方法,多烯链的立体化学已被指定为四种天然存在的异构单顺式叶黄素环氧化物。这些分配证实了我们之前的建议,即在向日葵中,9-顺式异构体出现而没有其 9'-顺式对应物。还研究了天然叶黄素环氧化物的立体突变。

A method of obtaining new formulations based on lutein.
The present invention describes a method of preparation of formulations of microcrystalline lutein, particularly in the form of esters, which are resistant to oxidation and are soluble in hydrophilic and/or lipophilic media. For these formulations, the esters of lutein are mixed with antioxidants, vegetable oils and/or organic solvents, and this initial mixture is submitted to various stages depending on the type of final formulation required. These formulations are suitable for direct application as colourants in the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics fields. They can also be used as diet supplements.
