Rabbits anesthesized with urethan and subjected to mild hypoxia (60-70 Torr arterial PO2) through a reduction of the minute volume were injected with a carotenoid compound, crocetin, or saline. The increased PO2 in the arterial blood seen subsequently with crocetin is attributed to increased
A series of novel diamide derivatives (2-8) of crocetin (1) were synthesized and evaluated for their cardioprotective activity in vitro. Using well-established model of hypoxia-induced injury in H9c2 cells, we investigated the effects of 9 compounds and positive drug nicorandil on cellular
