Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of all-trans-Isomers of Lutein and Zeaxanthin

Abstract: A method for the synthesis of all-trans-isomers of lutein and zeaxanthin has been proposed, which includes the stage of esterification of lutein and zeaxanthin with benzoic acid in the presence of enantioselective lipase Novozyme 435. Further hydrolysis of lutein and zeaxanthin dibenzoates has led to the formation of the initial xanthophylls in the all-trans configuration.

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
