C-26 and C-30 Apocarotenoids from Seeds of Ditaxis heterantha with Antioxidant Activity and Protection against DNA Oxidative Damage

Abstract: The hexane extracts of seeds of Ditaxis heterantha afforded two new apocarotenoids whose structures corresponded to methyl 3-oxo-12'-apo-epsilon-caroten-12'-oate (1) (heteranthin) and methyl 3beta,6beta-epoxy-5beta-hydroxy-4,5-dihydro-8'-apo-epsilon-caroten-8'-oate (2) (ditaxin). Both compounds were evaluated for antioxidant activity and protection against DNA oxidative damage by using DPPH* free radical scavenging and Comet assays, respectively.

“…Only a-tocopherol, BHA and BHT showed reactions. Mendez-Robles et al (2006) detected lower DPPH Å scavenging activities for two apocarotenoids from b-carotene (ditaxin, heteranthin) compared to b-carotene and lycopene. The reason for the measurable, but low DPPH Å scavenging activities could be seen in the concentrations used, which ranged in high non-physiological doses up to 1500 lM in methanol.…”

“…Early studies realized on Ditaxis heterantha seeds were on plant distribution in Mexico, pigment identification and aroma compound production by enzymatic hydrolysis from the carotenoid oleoresin (Méndez‐Robles et al. , ; Del Toro‐Sánchez et al. ).…”

“…The slides were then placed into a lysis solution (2.5 M NaCl, 100 mM Na 2 EDTA, 10 mM Tris-base, 35 mM sodium N-lauroylsarcosine, 0.2 M NaOH, and 20 % DMSO, pH = 10) at 4°C for 2 h. Then the slides were washed with ultrapure water three times and placed into a horizontal gel electrophoresis tank filled with fresh alkaline buffer (300 mM NaOH and 1 mM Na 2 EDTA, pH = 13) to unwind DNA for 40 min at 4°C. Following this procedure, electrophoresis was performed for 20 min under 27 V. The slides were finally washed with neutralizing buffer (400 mM Tris-base, pH = 7.5) and then stained with etidium bromide [13]. Valuable data were acquired using a CASP1.22 image analysis system attached to an OLYMPUS CX41 fluorescence microscope and selected randomly for each condition.…”
