Administering carotenoids, and in particular xanthophyll carotenoids, or analogs or derivatives of astaxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, lycoxanthin, lycophyll, or lycopene to a subject undergoing treatment with COX-2 inhibitor drugs may reduce at least a portion of the adverse side effects associated with administration of COX-2 selective inhibitor drugs. The carotenoids, or analogs or derivatives thereof may be administered to a subject prior to, at the same time as, or after the commencement of COX-2 selective inhibitor drug therapy. The carotenoids, or analogs or derivatives thereof may be administered to a subject concurrently with COX-2 selective inhibitor drugs therapy. The carotenoids, or analogs or derivatives thereof may be incorporated into pharmaceutical preparation in combination with the COX-2 selective inhibitor drug or may be administered separately. Administration of the analogs or derivatives described herein may reduce peroxidation of LDL and other lipids in the serum and plasma cell membranes of subjects undergoing COX-2 selective inhibitor drug therapy. Administration of the analogs or derivatives described herein may reduce the incidence of deleterious clinical cardiovascular events undergoing COX-2 selective inhibitor drug therapy.

A method used for synthesizing intermediates for use in the synthesis of carotenoid synthetic intermediates, carotenoid analogs, and/or carotenoid derivatives. The analog, derivative, or intermediate may be administered such that a 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 methods for synthesizing chemical compounds including an analog or derivative of a carotenoid. The carotenoid analog or derivative may be synthetic. 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.

The presently described embodiments are directed to compositions that include one or more carotenoid analogs or derivatives for use in the treatment of a disorder associated with platelet aggregation. Certain embodiments provide for the use of said carotenoid analogs or derivatives in preparing compositions suitable for use in such treatments. Further embodiments provide for pharmaceutical compositions that include one or more carotenoid analogs or derivatives in combination with one or more additional compositions or medicaments suitable for the treatment of a disorder associated with platelet aggregation. Yet farther embodiments provide for methods of treating a disorder associated with platelet aggregation that include administering to a subject who would benefit from such treatment pharmaceutical compositions suitable for inhibiting platelet aggregation in a subject undergoing said treatments, and that include carotenoid analogs or derivatives, optionally in combination with one or more additional antiplatelet agents.
