Abstract
Novel acyl glyco-carotenoic acids, diapolycopenedioic acid xylosyl esters A, B, and C, were isolated as red pigments by using chromatographic methods from a marine bacterium, Rubritalea squalenifaciens, belonging to subdivision 1 of Verrucomicrobia. The structures of these diapolycopenedioic acid xylosyl esters were determined to be 4-[2-O-acyl-β-D-xylopyranosyl] hydrogen 4,4′-diapo-Ψ,Ψ-carotene-4,4′-dioate by spectroscopic analysis. Diapolycopenedioic acid xylosyl ester A showed potent antioxidative activity in a 1O2 suppression model.
