Description
- General description: α-Tocopherol is synthesized from γ-tocopherol by the action of enzyme γ-tocopherol methyltransferase.[1] It is the major form of Vitamin E in human plasma. It is present in sunflower seed oil.[2]
- Application: (+)-α-Tocopherol has been used:as a food supplement for juvenile cobia fish[3] to evaluate its protective effect on bisphenol A induced oxidative stress in rats[4]to test its chemopreventive efficacy in estrogen-mediated mammary cancer rats[5]
- Biochem/physiol Actions: α-Tocopherol is essential for the photosynthesis in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803.[1] Supplementation with α-Tocopherol decreases lipid peroxidation and platelet aggregation. It inhibits protein kinase C and may play key role in gene regulation.[6]
- Packaging: Packaged under argon in a sealed ampule.
- Other Notes: Mixed constitutional (α, β, γ, δ) isomers.
- Quality: Approx. 670 mg D-α-tocopherol per gram. The non-α content is typically between 5-35 mg/g
- Caution: Subject to air oxidation.
- Physical properties: This product is miscible with chloroform or ethanol. It is practically insoluble in water but it is miscible with ether, acetone, and vegetable oils. It is unstable to alkaline conditions.
