Metabolite Identification
Common NameDeinoxanthin
DescriptionDeinoxanthin is a hydroxylated tetraterpenoid belonging to the carotenoid chemical class. This metabolite is synthesized by the extremophilic bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans, known for its remarkable antioxidant properties. Deinoxanthin exhibits significant reactive oxygen species-scavenging activity, contributing to its role in protecting cells from oxidative damage. Studies have shown that deinoxanthin-enriched extracellular vesicles from D. radiodurans can drive IL-10-dependent tolerogenic programming of dendritic cells (PMID:41009012 ). Additionally, deinoxanthin has demonstrated protective effects against brain oxidative damage and gut microbiota alterations in D-galactose-induced aging mice (PMID:40682717 ). Its strong antioxidant characteristics are further evidenced by research indicating that deinoxanthin can mitigate sorafenib-induced nephrotoxicity in rat models of hepatocellular carcinoma, reducing kidney injury and suggesting its potential as a protective agent (PMID:39625488 ). Overall, deinoxanthin's robust antioxidative activities both in vitro and in vivo highlight its significance in biomedical research and potential therapeutic applications.
