“…This shows that hydroxylation at C-3 and/or C-3′ of 4-keto and/or 4′-keto β-end group of carotenoid in sea angels is stereo-selective to form (3 S ,3 ′S )-astaxanthin. This stereo-selective hydroxylation has also been reported in other snails: Fushinus perplexus , F. perplexus ferrugineus , F. forceps [ 11 , 12 ], Cipangopaludina chinensis laeta , Semisulcospia libertina [ 13 ], and Pomacea canaliculata [ 14 ].…”

Sea angels, Clione limacina and Paedoclione doliiformis, are small, floating sea slugs belonging to Gastropoda, and their gonads are a bright orange-red color. Sea angels feed exclusively on a small herbivorous sea snail, Limacina helicina. Carotenoids in C. limacina, P. doliiformis, and L. helicina were investigated for comparative biochemical points of view. β-Carotene, zeaxanthin, and diatoxanthin were found to be major carotenoids in L. helicina. L. helicina accumulated dietary algal carotenoids without modification. On the other hand, keto-carotenoids, such as pectenolone, 7,8-didehydroastaxanthin, and adonixanthin were identified as major carotenoids in the sea angels C. limacina and P. doliiformis. Sea angels oxidatively metabolize dietary carotenoids and accumulate them in their gonads. Carotenoids in the gonads of sea angels might protect against oxidative stress and enhance reproduction.

“…Similarly, fritschiellaxanthin and 3S,3 R -adonixanthin were assumed to be oxidative metabolites of lutein and zeaxanthin, respectively. These oxidative metabolic pathways have also been demonstrated in the marine and terrestrial snails Fushinus perplexus 19 and Pomacea canaliculata 20 , respectively.…”

“…In a freshwater snail Pomacea canaliculata , an experiment with feeding of carotenoids have showed that the β-carotene was oxidatively metabolized to AST (3S,3ʹS) [ 60 , 61 ]. In the food chain of algae to sea angel, Clione limacina , AST is found to be produced from the oxidative metabolism of β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin.…”

Astaxanthin (3,3′-dihydroxy-β,β-carotene-4,4′-dione) is an orange-red, lipophilic keto-carotenoid pigment. It is majorly found in marine ecosystems particularly in aquatic animals such as salmon, shrimp, trout, krill, crayfish, and so on. It is also synthesized in microalgae Heamatococcus pluvialis, Chlorococcum, Chlorella zofingiensis, red yeast Phaffia rhodozyma and bacterium Paracoccus carotinifaciens. Some aquatic and terrestrial creatures regarded as a primary and secondary sources of the astaxanthin producing and accumulating it through their metabolic pathways. Astaxanthin is the powerful antioxidant, nutritional supplement as well as promising therapeutic compound, observed to have activities against different ravaging diseases and disorders. Researchers have reported remarkable bioactivities of astaxanthin against major non-communicable chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative, and immune disorders. The current review discusses some structural aspects of astaxanthin. It further elaborates its multiple potencies such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, anti-cancer, anti-obese, anti-diabetic, anti-ageing, anti-TB, anti-viral, anti-COVID 19, neuro-protective, nephro-protective, and fertility-enhancing properties. These potencies make it a more precious entity in the preventions as well as treatments of prevalent systematic diseases and/or disorders. Also, the review is acknowledging and documenting its powerful bioactivities in relation with the pharmaceutical as well as nutraceutical applicability. Graphical Abstract
