Research Excerpts

Overview

Indicaxanthin is a betalain pigment found in prickly pear fruit. It has antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic activities in colorectal cancer cells.

Effects

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
"Indicaxanthin has pharmacokinetic proprieties, rarely found in other phytochemicals, and it has been demonstrated that it provides a broad-spectrum of pharmaceutical activity, exerting anti-proliferative, anti-inflammatory, and neuromodulator effects."( Reverse screening on indicaxanthin from Opuntia ficus-indica as natural chemoactive and chemopreventive agent.

Treatment

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
"Pretreatment with indicaxanthin at 2 μmol/kg inhibited the carrageenin-induced release of PGE(2) (91.4%), NO (67.7%), IL-1β (53.6%), and TNF-α (71.1%), and caused a decrease of IL-1β (34.5%), TNF-α (81.6%), iNOS (75.2%), and COX2 (87.7%) mRNA, as well as iNOS (71.9%) and COX-2 (65.9%) protein expression, in the recruited leukocytes."( Indicaxanthin from cactus pear fruit exerts anti-inflammatory effects in carrageenin-induced rat pleurisy.
