CAS 1721-51-3: α-Tocotrienol

Description: α-Tocotrienol, a member of the vitamin E family, is a fat-soluble compound known for its antioxidant properties. It is one of the four tocotrienol isomers, which also include β-, γ-, and δ-tocotrienol. Characterized by its unsaturated side chain, α-tocotrienol has a unique structure that contributes to its biological activity. It is primarily found in certain vegetable oils, grains, and nuts, and is recognized for its potential health benefits, including cardiovascular protection and neuroprotection. The compound exhibits a yellow to amber color and is typically odorless. α-Tocotrienol is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its antioxidant activity is attributed to its ability to scavenge free radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation, making it a subject of interest in nutritional and pharmaceutical research. Additionally, α-tocotrienol has been studied for its role in modulating various cellular processes, including inflammation and apoptosis, highlighting its potential therapeutic applications.
