| diphosphoric acid | |
| lycopene | A carotenoid and red pigment produced by tomatoes, other red fruits and vegetables, and photosynthetic algae. It is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of other carotenoids, and has antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic, radioprotective, and anti-inflammatory properties. |
| beta carotene | A carotenoid that is a precursor of VITAMIN A. Beta carotene is administered to reduce the severity of photosensitivity reactions in patients with erythropoietic protoporphyria (PORPHYRIA, ERYTHROPOIETIC). |
| zeta Carotene | A carotenoid produced in most carotenogenic organisms. It is one of several sequentially synthesized molecules that are precursors to BETA CAROTENE. |
| neurosporene | triterpenoid carotenoid; RN given refers to cpd without isomeric designation |
| geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate | RN given refers to (E,E,E)-isomer |
| phytofluene | RN given refers to cpd without isomeric designation |
| phytoene, (15-cis)-isomer | |
