Lutein (Xanthophyll) is a carotenoid with reported anti-inflammatory properties. A large body of evidence shows that lutein has several beneficial effects, especially on eye health. Lutein exerts its biological activities, including anti-inflammation, anti-oxidase and anti-apoptosis, through effects on reactive oxygen species (ROS). Lutein is able to arrive in the brain and shows antidepressant-like and neuroprotective effects. Lutein is orally active.

Description

Lutein (Xanthophyll) is a carotenoid with reported anti-inflammatory properties. A large body of evidence shows that lutein has several beneficial effects, especially on eye health[1]. Lutein exerts its biological activities, including anti-inflammation, anti-oxidase and anti-apoptosis, through effects on reactive oxygen species (ROS)[2][3]. Lutein is able to arrive in the brain and shows antidepressant-like and neuroprotective effects. Lutein is orally active[4].

In Vitro

Lutein (100 or 200 μM) protects against A2-PE (a bis-retinoid compound that is the immediate precursor of the lipofuscin fluorophore A2E) photooxidation and reduces A2E photooxidation[2].

In Vivo

Lutein (40-160 mg/kg; in diet for 5 weeks) protects against severe traumatic brain injury through anti-inflammation and anti-oxidative effects via ICAM-1/Nrf-2 in rats[3].
Lutein (0.1-10 mg/kg; p.o.; once or daily for 7 and 21 days) prevents Corticosterone (HY-B1618)-induced depressive-like behavior in mice with the involvement of antioxidant and neuroprotective activities[4].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Sprague-Dawley rats, severe traumatic brain injury (STBI) model[3]
Dosage: 40, 80 and 160 mg/kg
Administration: In diet for 5 weeks
Result: Suppressed, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 expression, reduced serum ROS levels, and reduced superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities. Effectively downregulated the expression of NF-κB p65 and cyclooxygenase-2, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 protein, and upregulated nuclear factor erythroid 2 like 2 (Nrf-2) and endothelin-1 protein levels.
Animal Model: Male Swiss mice, chronic Corticosterone (HY-B1618) model of depression[4]
Dosage: 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/kg
Administration: Oral administration, once or daily for 7 and 21 days
Result: Decreased immobility time at the dose 10 mg/kg. Counteracted the behavioral changes displayed by Corticosterone (HY-B1618) showing antidepressant-like effect. Presented antioxidant effect in the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex and plasma of mice, and exhibited a capability to protect hippocampal and prefrontal cortex slices against glutamatergic toxicity.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
