Disease relevance of Indicaxanthin

• After ex vivo spiking of blood from thalassemia patients with indicaxanthin, the phytochemical was recovered in the soluble cell compartment of the RBCs [1].
• Cytoprotective effects of the antioxidant phytochemical indicaxanthin in beta-thalassemia red blood cells [1].

High impact information on Indicaxanthin

• Kinetics of the lipoperoxyl radical-scavenging activity of indicaxanthin in solution and unilamellar liposomes [2].
• The dietary indicaxanthin was assessed for its protective effects on human beta-thalassemic RBCs submitted in vitro to oxidative haemolysis by cumene hydroperoxide [1].
• Mechanism of interaction of betanin and indicaxanthin with human myeloperoxidase and hypochlorous acid [3].
• Blood collected from the same volunteers after a 12-h fasting was incubated with the purified betalains in the range of 5-25 microM, to enrich the erythrocytes with either betanin or indicaxanthin, and then the cells were exposed to cumOOH [4].
