As the most abundant carotenoid in nature, fucoxanthin is susceptible to oxidation under some conditions, forming cleavage products that possibly exhibit both positive and negative health effects in vitro and in vivo. Thus, to produce relatively high amounts of cleavage products, chemical oxidation of fucoxanthin was performed. Kinetic models for oxidation were probed and reaction products were identified. The results indicated that both potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and hypochlorous acid/hypochlorite (HClO/ClO?) treatment fitted a first-order kinetic model, while oxidation promoted by hydroxyl radical (OH) followed second-order kinetics. With the help of liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry, a total of 14 apo-fucoxanthins were detected as predominant cleavage products, with structural and geometric isomers identified among them. Three apo-fucoxanthinones and eleven apo-fucoxanthinals, of which five were cis-apo-fucoxanthinals, were detected upon oxidation by the three oxidizing agents (KMnO4, HClO/ClO?, and OH).

Fucoxanthin has an antiproliferative effect on cancer cells, but its detailed structure–activity correlation has not yet been elucidated. To elucidate this correlation, fucoxanthin was degraded by ozonolysis. The degraded compounds of fucoxanthin obtained by ozonolysis were purified by HPLC and analyzed by NMR. The polyene chain of fucoxanthin was cleaved by ozonolysis, and the fucoxanthin was divided into two types of cyclohexyl derivatives, one with a β,γ-epoxy ketone group and the other with an allenic bond. In order to elucidate the structure–activity correlation, Caco-2 cells (human colorectal carcinoma) were treated with fucoxanthin degradation compounds. It was found that the entire structure of fucoxanthin is not essential for its antiproliferative effect and that even a partial structure exerts this effect.

Details are reported for the configurational assignment of peridinin as 3S, 5R, 6R, 3'S, 5'R, 6'S including ozonolytic degradation of its p-bromobenzoate to derivatives of known chirality obtained from fucoxanthin and violaxanthin.Details regarding derivatization and CD correlations in favour of the same chirality for dinoxanthin = neoxanthin 3-acetate are given.Key Word Index - Dinoflagellate carotenoids; chirality; peridinin; dinoxanthin.
Mimulaxanthin, the Main Carotenoid in Lamium montanum, Determination of its Absolute Configuration. Absolute Configuration of Deepoxyneoxanthin by its Correlation with Neoxanthin

The carotenoid mixture isolated from the yellow flowers of Lamium montanum PERS. (Labiatae) consists of more than 75percent of carotenoids with allenic end groups.Besides 32percent of neoxanthin/neochrome we isolated 44percent of mimulaxanthin (1a), a very rare carotenoid so far only found in Mimulus sp. (Scrophulariaceae).Its absolute configuration was determined by oxidative degradation to the known ketone 3 ("grasshopper ketone") and by spectroscopic and chiroptical comparisons with neoxanthin (6).Mimulaxanthin (1a) therefore is (3S,5R,6R,3'S,5'R,6'R)-6,7,6',7'-tetradehydro-5,6,5',6'-tetrahydro-β,β-carotene-3,5,3',5'-tetraol.Deepoxyneoxanthin, which was reisolated from Mimulus sp. is (3S,5R,6R,3'R)-6,7-didehydro-6,7-dihydro-β,β-carotene-3,5,3'-triol (2), as shown by spectroscopic and chemical correlation with neoxanthin (6; de-epoxydation by BuLi/FeCl3).
