CAS 53188-07-1: Trolox
Description:Trolox, with the CAS number 53188-07-1, is a water-soluble derivative of vitamin E, specifically α-tocopherol. It is recognized for its antioxidant properties, which allow it to scavenge free radicals and protect cells from oxidative stress. Trolox is commonly used in biochemical research as a standard for measuring antioxidant activity due to its ability to mimic the action of natural antioxidants. It is often employed in assays such as the Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity (TEAC) assay, which evaluates the antioxidant capacity of various substances. In addition to its role in research, Trolox has potential applications in food preservation and cosmetics, where it can help stabilize products against oxidative degradation. The compound is generally considered safe for use, but like any chemical, it should be handled with care in laboratory settings. Its solubility in water makes it particularly useful in biological studies, allowing for easy incorporation into various experimental protocols.
