Prolycopene, a Naturally Occurring Stereoisomer of Lycopene [PDF]

, 1941
In this paper we record the observation that there occurs in the variety of tomato called "tangerine tomato" a carotenoid, prolycopene, which is an isomer of lycopene; the isomeric relationship is similar to that between lycopene and neolycopene,I and in

Diethylene glycol-zinc chloride based deep eutectic solvent for green extraction of bixin compound

Journal of Ionic Liquids
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are ionic liquid alternatives that replace volatile and flammable organic solvents. DESs are formed by hydrogen bond interaction between the hydrogen bond donor (HBD) and the hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA).

Microlasers Made Entirely from Edible Substances

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 13, Issue 22, August 5, 2025.
Several types of microlasers made completely out of edible substances are developed. They can be embedded directly into edible products and enable the sensing of various parameters, including sugar concentration, pH, the presence of bacteria, and exposure to too‐high temperatures.

Carotenoids Modulate FoxO‐Induced Cell Cycle Arrest in Human Cancer Cell Lines: A Scoping Review

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2025.
Carotenoids upregulated pro‐apoptotic and FoxO signalling clusters. Carotenoids downregulated PI3k/Akt signalling, TNF signalling and cell cycle regulation clusters. Carotenoids may induce cell cycle arrest via the FoxO signalling pathway. ABSTRACT Carotenoids, a class of antioxidants, have shown great potential for cancer management.

Topical Bixin Confers NRF2-Dependent Protection Against Photodamage and Hair Graying in Mouse Skin

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Environmental exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation causes acute photodamage, premature aging, and skin cancer, attributable to UV-induced genotoxic, oxidative, and inflammatory stress. The transcription factor NRF2 [nuclear factor erythroid 2 (E2)

Gaudichaudione H Enhances the Sensitivity of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells to Disulfidptosis via Regulating NRF2‐SLC7A11 Signaling Pathway

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 11, March 20, 2025.
Gaudichaudione H (GH) effectively activates NRF2 signaling and its target genes, such as SLC7A11, and pharmaceutical activation of NRF2‐SLC7A11 signaling pathway aggravates uptake of cysteine, disturbance of GSH synthesis, depletion of NADPH, and accumulation of disulfide molecules, ultimately leading to the formation of disulfide bonds between ...

The role of NRF2 transcription factor in inflammatory skin diseases

BioFactors, Volume 51, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Nrf2 is essential for maintaining skin homeostasis and regulating inflammation. This review highlights the multifaceted role of Nrf2 in skin inflammatory diseases like atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. While Nrf2 activation can be therapeutic, excessive activation can paradoxically exacerbate skin conditions.
