Characterization and Singlet Oxygen Quenching Activity of (3R)-3-Hydroxy-4-Ketotorulene and (3R)-3-Hydroxy-4-Keto-γ- Carotene from the Yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhrous

Structures of (3R)-3-hydroxy-4-ketotorulene (1) and (3R)-3-hydroxy-4-keto-γ-carotene (2) isolated from the yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhrous were fully characterized by FAB MS, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and CD spectroscopic data. Both 1 and 2 showed potent singlet oxygen (1O2) quenching activity as that of...

Summary:Structures of (3R)-3-hydroxy-4-ketotorulene (1) and (3R)-3-hydroxy-4-keto-γ-carotene (2) isolated from the yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhrous were fully characterized by FAB MS, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and CD spectroscopic data. Both 1 and 2 showed potent singlet oxygen (1O2) quenching activity as that of astaxanthin and lycopene, which were well known strong 1O2 quencher.
