General description

Genipin is a natural cross linking agent, which is extracted from gardenia fruit.[1] It prevents lipid peroxidation and production of nitric oxide. Genipin protects the hippocampal neurons from the toxicity of Alzheimer′s amyloid β protein. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenesis effects.[2] Genipin is involved in drug delivery system.[3]

Application

Genipin has been used:
  • in chemosensitivity assay[4]
  • in the preparation of recombinant human (rh)-odontogenic ameloblast-associated protein (ODAM) -impregnated collagen gel and in vitro mineralization assay[5]
  • in genipin gel preparation[6][7]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Genipin stimulates insulin secretion in UCP2-dependent manner (Uncoupling protein 2). Genipin is a protein, collagen, gelatin, and chitosan cross-linker.
