Disease relevance of D01030

  • Feeding experiments demonstrated that crocin dyes at 0.1% in the diet could suppress partially the chronic hepatic damage induced by multiple dosages of AFB1 or DMN, but at a higher concentration of 1% crocin dye failed to do so because of their host toxicity [1].
  • Intracerebroventricular injection of crocin (51.2 nmol) alone did not affect the synaptic potential evoked by single stimulation of the medial perforant path, and neither inhibited nor facilitated the LTP induced by strong (30 pulses at 60 Hz) or weak (20 pulses at 60 Hz) tetanus [2].
  • In conclusion, long-term treatment with crocin enhances survival selectively in female rats with colon cancer without major toxic effects [3].
  • In assays in vitro, crocin had a potent cytotoxic effect on human and animal adenocarcinoma cells (HT-29 and DHD/K12-PROb cells, 50% lethal dose = 0.4 and 1.0 mM, respectively) [3].
  • We report here the effects of crocin on neuronally differentiated pheochromocytoma (PC-12) cells deprived of serum/glucose [4].

High impact information on D01030

  • This procedure is based on the "crocin bleaching test" (Bors, W., et al. Biochim. Biophys. Acta 796:312-319; 1984) modified for analyzing the antioxidant capacity of complex mixtures (Tubaro, F., et al. J. Am. Oil Chem. Soc. 73:173-179; 1996) [7].
  • The elevated rate constant for the interaction with peroxyl radicals, analysed by the kinetics of inhibition of crocin bleaching in the presence of a diazo initiator, gives an account for the observed antioxidant capacity [8].
  • Crocin protects retinal photoreceptors against light-induced cell death [9].
  • TUNEL assays confirmed that crocin protected photoreceptors from light damage [9].
  • In a previous study, we demonstrated that crocin inhibits apoptosis in PC-12 cells by affecting the function of tumor necrosis factor-alpha [10].
