A systematic literature review on the pharmacological applications of the carotenoid norbixin
View through CrossRef
Carotenoids play essential roles in human health and can fight and prevent diseases. One carotenoid that is currently attracting scientific interest, particularly for its antioxidant properties, is norbixin. Studies related to its use in the treatment of diseases have become increasingly present in the medical field. This systematic literature review aimed to investigate and gather studies on the pharmacological activity of norbixin for health benefits and the treatment of diseases. Four databases were consulted: Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect. Articles were extracted using a combination of keywords such as 'norbixin', 'antioxidant', 'diseases', 'in vitro', 'in vivo', etc. A total of 173 articles were identified. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 21 were selected for inclusion in this review. Studies have shown that norbixin, alone or in combination with other treatments, may be effective in DNA protection, tissue engineering, bone repair, and the prevention and treatment of age-related macular degeneration and cardiovascular disease. These results provide a solid basis for further studies aimed at exploring the pharmacological properties of norbixin and enabling its use in therapeutic applications.
