IUPAC Name: (S)-6-hydroxy-3-((1E,3E,5E,7E,9E,11E,13E,15E,17E)-18-((R)-4-hydroxy-2,6,6-trimethyl-3-oxocyclohex-1-en-1-yl)-3,7,12,16-tetramethyloctadeca-1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17-nonaen-1-yl)-2,4,4-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one
InChIKey: MQZIGYBFDRPAKN-GNBIBNSWSA-N
SMILES: C(=C/C(=C/C=C/C(=C/C=C/C=C(/C=C/C=C(/C=C/C=1C(C)(C)C[C@H](O)C(=O)C1C)\C)\C)/C)/C)\C=2C(C)(C)C[C@@H](O)C(=O)C2C
Biological Activity: meso-Astaxanthin is a natural stereoisomer of Astaxanthin (HY-B2163) with antioxidant activity and is found in a variety of aquatic animals. meso-Astaxanthin binds to human serum albumin in a monomeric form at a stoichiometric ratio; at low ligand-to-protein ratios, human serum albumin acts as a chiral template for supramolecular assembly at higher ratios. meso-Astaxanthin directly scavenges superoxide anions. meso-Astaxanthin can be used in the research of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury[1][2].
