Crocetin From Saffron: An Active Component of an Ancient Spice<\/h1>\n

Abstract<\/h3>\n

The known properties of saffron (Crocus sativus, L.) and its components have been examined.<\/p>\n

Recently, hormone like effects in green algae and the anti-cancerogenic and anti-toxic effects, have been observed. In particular, the effects of crocetin, a carotenoids (8,8′-diapo-8,8′-carotenoic acid) present in saffron and characterized by a diterpenic and symmetrical structure with seven double bonds and four methyl groups, have been taken into consideration.<\/p>\n

It has been found that this compound enhances the oxygen diffusivity through liquids, such as plasma.<\/p>\n

As a consequence of this property, it has been observed that crocetin increases alveolar oxygen transport and enhances pulmonary oxygenation.<\/p>\n

It improves cerebral oxygenation in hemorrhaged rats and positively acts in the atherosclerosis and arthritis treatment.<\/p>\n

It inhibits skin tumor promotion in mice (i.e., with benzo(a)pyrene); it has an inhibitory effect on intracellular nucleic acid and protein synthesis in malignant cells, as well as on protein-kinase-C and prorooncogene in INNIH\/3T3 cells.<\/p>\n

This is most likely due to its anti-oxidant activity.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, crocetin protects against oxidative damage in rat primary hepatocytes.<\/p>\n

It also suppresses aflatoxin B1-induced hepatotoxic lesions and has a modulatory effect on aflatoxin, B1 cytotoxicity, and DNA adduct formation on C3H10\/T1\/2 fibroblast cells.<\/p>\n

It also has a protective effect on the bladder toxicity, induced by cyclophosphamide.<\/p>\n

The experiments reported in the scientific literature and the interesting results obtained have been carried out in vitro or on laboratory animals, but not yet on man.<\/p>\n
