|  |  | Genipin Usage And Synthesis | 
 | Chemical Properties | It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, and DMSO. It is derived from the fruit of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. |  | Uses | Genipin is an active aglycone derived from geniposide, an iridoid glycoside found in the fruit of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine and is a hydrolytic product of geniposide. Genipin is also known for its inhibitory effect on uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2). |  | Uses | Genipin has been used: 
 in chemosensitivity assayin the preparation of recombinant human (rh)-odontogenic ameloblast-associated protein (ODAM) -impregnated collagen gel and in vitro mineralization assayin genipin gel preparation
 |  | Definition | ChEBI: Genipin is an iridoid monoterpenoid. It has a role as an uncoupling protein inhibitor, a hepatotoxic agent, an apoptosis inhibitor, an antioxidant, an anti-inflammatory agent and a cross-linking reagent. |  | General Description | Genipin is a natural cross linking agent, which is extracted from gardenia fruit. 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. Genipin is involved in drug delivery system. |  | Biochem/physiol Actions | Genipin stimulates insulin secretion in UCP2-dependent manner (Uncoupling protein 2). Genipin is a protein, collagen, gelatin, and chitosan cross-linker. |
