生物活性

Genipin is an active aglycone derived from an iridoid glycoside called geniposide, which is found in the fruit of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. Genipin is a hydrolytic product of geniposide. Genipin has been used in traditional Chinese medicine. Genipin is used in traditional Chinese medicine to relieve the symptoms of type 2 diabetes. Genipin is an excellent natural cross-linker for proteins, collagen, gelatin, and chitosan cross-linking. Genipin has a low acute toxicity, with LD50 i.v. 382 mg/kg in mice. Therefore, much less toxic than glutaraldehyde and many other commonly used synthetic cross-linking regents. Genipin is also used for pharmaceutical purposes, such as choleretic action for liver diseases control. Furthermore，genipin can be used as a cross-linking agent for immobilized enzyme, the regulating agent for drug delivery, the raw materials for gardenia blue pigment preparation,as well as the intermediate for alkaloid synthetic etc. Genipin is a naturally occurring material that shows great potential as a use in biomaterials and also as a fingerprint reagent.

化学数据

不同实验动物依据体表面积的等效剂量转换表（数据来源于FDA指南）

例如，依据体表面积折算法，将化合物用于小鼠的剂量20 mg/kg 换算成大鼠的剂量，需要将20 mg/kg 乘以小鼠的K_m系数（3），再除以大鼠的K_m系数（6），得到化合物用于大鼠的等效剂量为10 mg/kg。
