Bixin CAS NO.6983-79-5

<p>Bixin is a naturally occurring apocarotenoid (carotenoic acid) extracted from the seeds of <em>Bixa orellana</em>(annatto tree), prized both as a GRAS-approved natural food colorant and as a bioactive compound with remarkable free radical scavenging capacity. It is especially suitable for researchers and formulators interested in natural antioxidants, photoprotective agents, and lipid metabolism modulators in nut…

1.Mechanism of Action

Bixin exerts its primary effects by directly quenching singlet oxygen and scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby preventing oxidative damage to lipids, proteins, and DNA; it also upregulates the Nrf2/ARE signaling axis to boost endogenous antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, GSH-Px) and suppresses NF‑κB‑driven pro‑inflammatory cytokines (TNF‑α, IL‑6). Additionally, bixin interferes with HMG‑CoA reductase activity and modulates PPAR‑α/γ expression, contributing to its cholesterol-lowering and insulin‑sensitizing actions.

2.Product Indications

This compound is indicated for in vitroand in vivoresearch on oxidative stress‑related pathologies such as atherosclerosis, non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), UV‑induced skin damage, and neuroinflammation. It is also a key reference material for studies on natural colorants, carotenoid stability, and the chemopreventive potential of plant‑derived lipophilic antioxidants in cancer cell lines.

3.Clinical Efficacy of Product

Preclinical animal studies have shown bixin significantly reduces serum total cholesterol and LDL, attenuates diet‑induced hepatic steatosis, and protects against UVB‑induced cutaneous erythema and DNA damage. Though formal human clinical trials remain limited, its longstanding safety record as a widely consumed natural colorant combined with reproducible antioxidant and lipid‑modifying effects in rodent models supports its translational promise for nutraceutical and dermato‑cosmetic applications.
