Metabolite Identification
Common Name(3R,3'R,15-cis)-b,b-Carotene-3,3'-diol
DescriptionZeaxanthin belongs to the class of organic compounds known as xanthophylls. These are carotenoids containing an oxygenated carotene backbone. Carotenes are characterized by the presence of two end-groups (mostly cyclohexene rings, but also cyclopentene rings or acyclic groups) linked by a long branched alkyl chain. Carotenes belonging form a subgroup of the carotenoids family. Xanthophylls arise by oxygenation of the carotene backbone. Zeaxanthin is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Zeaxanthin exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.
