CAS 54-28-4: (+)-γ-Tocopherol
Description:(+)-γ-Tocopherol, also known as gamma-tocopherol, is a form of vitamin E and is classified as a fat-soluble antioxidant. It is characterized by its chemical structure, which includes a chromanol ring and a phytyl side chain, contributing to its biological activity. This compound is known for its ability to scavenge free radicals, thereby protecting cell membranes from oxidative damage. (+)-γ-Tocopherol is found naturally in various plant oils, particularly soybean and corn oil, and plays a significant role in human nutrition. It exhibits anti-inflammatory properties and has been studied for its potential health benefits, including cardiovascular protection and cancer prevention. The substance is typically stable under normal conditions but can degrade when exposed to high temperatures or prolonged light. In terms of solubility, it is soluble in organic solvents but poorly soluble in water. Its antioxidant activity is distinct from that of other tocopherols, such as alpha-tocopherol, making it an important component in dietary supplements and functional foods.
