Azafrin
Azafrin, a carotenoid, is one of the most abundant active ingredients in C. grandiflora. Azafrin increases HO-1, NQO1, and Nrf2 expression. Azafrin shows cardioprotective effect against myocardial injury via activation of the Nrf2-ARE pathway. Azafrin can be used for research of cardiovascular diseases[1].
