Transcrocetinate disodium

Research use only, not for human use.

Transcrocetinate disodium extracted from saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is a high-affinity antagonist of NMDA receptor.

Transcrocetinate disodium extracted from saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is a high-affinity antagonist of NMDA receptor.(In Vitro):Crocetin (Transcrocetin, trans-Crocetin) disodium, a saffron metabolite originating from the crocin apocarotenoids, has been shown to exert strong NMDA receptor affinity and is thought to be responsible for the CNS activity of saffron.To ensure unchanged viability of Caco-2 cells throughout the transport experiments, cellular mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity of Caco-2 cells is measured by MTT assay after a 24 h incubation period with the test compounds.

Crocetin disodium at 10 μM level does not change viability while higher concentrations (40-160 μM) reduces significantly cellular viability.
