CAS 59-02-9: (+)-α-Tocopherol
Description:(+)-α-Tocopherol, commonly known as vitamin E, is a fat-soluble antioxidant that plays a crucial role in protecting cell membranes from oxidative damage. It is characterized by its hydrophobic nature, allowing it to integrate into lipid bilayers of cell membranes. The molecular structure of (+)-α-tocopherol features a chromanol ring with a saturated phytyl side chain, which contributes to its biological activity. This compound exhibits a high degree of stability and is soluble in organic solvents, but poorly soluble in water. As a potent antioxidant, it scavenges free radicals and helps to prevent lipid peroxidation, thereby supporting overall cellular health. In addition to its antioxidant properties, (+)-α-tocopherol is essential for immune function and skin health. It is commonly found in various food sources, including nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils, and is often used as a dietary supplement. The substance is recognized for its role in various physiological processes, making it an important nutrient in human health and nutrition.
