Macula lutea, the yellow spot of the retina of the human eye, comprises three xanthophyll pigments: lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin, playing numerous important biological functions. Macular xanthophylls are exposed to relatively strong illuminatio
A simple and efficient method for the partial synthesis of pure (3R,3’s)-astaxanthin from (3R,3’r,6’r)-lutein and lutein esters via (3R,3’s)-zeaxanthin and theoretical study of their formation mechanisms

Carotenoids are natural compounds that have important roles in promoting and maintaining human health. Synthetic astaxanthin is a highly requested product by the aquaculture industry, but natural astaxanthin is not. Various strategies have been developed
RPE65 has an additional function as the lutein to meso-zeaxanthin isomerase in the vertebrate eye

Carotenoids are plant-derived pigment molecules that vertebrates cannot synthesize de novo that protect the fovea of the primate retina from oxidative stress and light damage. meso-Zeaxanthin is an ocular-specific carotenoid for which there are no common
