   CA00043  Lycopene
  • Prevention of lipopolysaccharide-induced Alzheimer’s disease in the preclinical studies by increasing the expression of nuclear Nrf2, HO-1, NQO-1, SOD, CAT, and GSH in Nrf2/ARE antioxidant pathway. (Ref.783)

  •    CA00309  β-Carotene
  • Anti-Alzheimer effects on mice related to the involvement of the Nrf2/ARE pathway. (Ref.784)

  •    CA00328  Zeaxanthin
  • Anti-amyloid aggregation activity similar to cryptocapsin-5,6-epoxide (Half maximal inhibitory concentration = 2.29μM) (Ref.765).

  •    CA00597  Lutein
  • Anti-apoptic agent - preventing loss of Bcl2 and Bcl-xL, preventing accumulation of Bax, preventing accumulation or release of Cytochrome C, and preventing accumulation or activation of Caspase 3 (Ref.782). Fucoxanthin potentially binds directly to amyloid-β, preventing formation of pathological amyloid-beta fibril (Ref.782).

  •    CA00737  Cryptocapsin
  • High bioactivity of anti-amyloid aggregation (Half maximal inhibitory concentration =1.97μM) (Ref.765).

  •    CA00761  Cryptocapsin-5,6-epoxide
  • Anti-amyloid aggregation activity (Half maximal inhibitory concentration = 2.53μM) (Ref.765).
