(2S)-α-Tocopherol (Mixture of Diastereomers)

Controlled Product

CAS: 1411583-24-8

Applications (2S)-α-Tocopherol is one of the 8 stereoisomers contained in the racemic mixture of synthetic α-Tocopherol, a vitamin E substitute. Being of the (2S) orientation it is generally less active than it’s (2R) counterpart, however this biodiscrimination is suggested to occur in the liver as it does not occur in the small intestine.

(2S)-α-Tocopherol

CAS: 1411583-24-8

(2S)-α-Tocopherol is an analog of vitamin E that has been studied for its potential anticancer properties. It has been shown to inhibit the activity of certain protein kinases, which are enzymes involved in cell signaling pathways that can promote tumor growth. In particular, (2S)-α-Tocopherol has been found to inhibit the activity of kinases involved in promoting cancer cell survival and proliferation. Studies have also shown that this compound can induce apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells. (2S)-α-Tocopherol has also been investigated as a potential urine biomarker for Chinese patients with tumors, and its levels were found to be significantly elevated in urine samples from these patients compared to healthy controls. This compound may have potential as an anticancer agent or as a biomarker for cancer detection and monitoring.
