What is genipin?

Genipin is the beta glycosidase enzymes hydrolysis product of , it is a good natural biological crosslinking agent, with protein, collagen, gelatin and chitosan crosslinked production of biological materials, flat and chitin molecule , such as artificial bone and wound dressing materials, their toxicity is far lower than the glutaraldehyde and other commonly used chemical crosslinking agent.Genipin can also be used in the treatment of liver diseases, blood pressure, defecation and so on.The results of a study at an Israeli medical center show that genipin can relieve the symptoms of type 2 diabetes.Genipin can also be used as a reagent for fingerprint collection and a crosslinker for preparing immobilized enzymes.

It possesses the molecular formula C11H14O5 and contains a dihydropyran ring. Genipin itself is colorless but it reacts spontaneously with amino acids to form blue pigments The blue pigments are edible and are currently being used as a blue food colorant in East Asia. Or genipin is very popular used for making tattoo liquid .

Function of genipin

Genipin is a cell-permeable inhibitor of UCP2 activity.

Genipin, at 5 µM, increases glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in isolated pancreatic islets chronically exposed to high levels of glucose.

Genipin also exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic properties by inducing apoptosis in FaO rat hepatoma cells and human hepatocarcinoma Hep3B cells.
