Page/Page column 41; 29, (2008/12/08)
A method for synthesizing intermediates for use in the synthesis of carotenoid synthetic intermediates, carotenoid analogs, and/or carotenoid derivatives. The carotenoid analog, derivative, or intermediate 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. Carotenoid analogs or derivatives may include acyclic end groups. 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.

Page/Page column 41, (2009/01/20)
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.
The synthesis and aqueous superoxide anion scavenging of water-dispersible lutein esters

Xanthophyll carotenoids of the C40 series, which includes commercially important compounds such as lutein, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin, have poor aqueous solubility in the native state. Hawaii Biotech, Inc. (HBI) and others have shown that the aqueous dispersibility of derivatized carotenoids can be increased by varying the chemical structure of the esterified moieties. In the current study, the published series of novel, highly water-dispersible C40 carotenoid derivatives has been extended to include (3R,3′R,6′R)- lutein (β,ε-carotene-3,3′-diol) derivatives. Two novel derivatives were synthesized by esterification with inorganic phosphate and succinic acid, respectively, and subsequently converted to the sodium salts. Red-orange, clear, aqueous suspensions were obtained after addition of these novel derivatives to USP-purified water. Aqueous dispersibility of the disuccinate sodium salt of lutein was 2.85 mg/mL; the diphosphate salt demonstrated a >10-fold increase in dispersibility at 29.27 mg/mL. As reported previously, these aqueous suspensions were obtained without the addition of heat, detergents, co-solvents, or other additives. The direct aqueous superoxide scavenging abilities of these novel derivatives were subsequently evaluated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy in a well-characterized in vitro isolated human neutrophil assay. The novel derivatives were nearly identical aqueous-phase scavengers, demonstrating dose-dependent suppression of the superoxide anion signal (as detected by spin-trap adducts of DEPMPO) in the millimolar range. These lutein-based soft drugs will likely find utility in those commercial and clinical applications for which aqueous-phase singlet oxygen quenching and direct radical scavenging may be required.

Page/Page column 47, (2008/06/13)
Administering water-soluble or dispersible synthetic analogs or derivatives of astaxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, or lycophyll and/or other carotenoids to a subject may reduce some of the adverse effects of inflammation in a body organ or tissue. The analogs or derivatives may be incorporated into pharmaceutical, over-the-counter, or nutraceutical preparations. Administration of the analogs or derivatives described herein may reduce deposition of inflammatory mediators such as C-reactive protein, complement system proteins or the membrane attack complex (MAC) in tissues. Reduced deposition of these molecules in tissues may reduce cell damage and/or lysis in the tissues.
