7695-91-2 Vitamin E Manufacturer CAS NO.7695-91-2

DL-α-Tocopherol acetate is the ester form of α-Tocopherol. Tocopherols are a series of chiral organic molecules that vary in their degree of methylation of the phenol moiety of the chromanol ring. Tocopherols are lipid soluble anti-oxidants that protect cell membranes from oxidative damage. α-Tocopherol is the form of tocopherol preferentially absorbed by humans.

vitamin E acetate (tocopherol acetate) is an anti-oxidant with skinmoisturizing activity. given its free-radical scavenging properties, it is useful in uV protective products. Vitamin e acetate is commonly used to replace vitamin e because it is more stable and is converted to vitamin e by the body.

(±)-α-Tocopherol acetate is an acetate form of (±)-α-tocopherol, a biologically active form of vitamin E. It prevents reductions in the percentage of embryos developing into blastocysts and the levels of glutathione (GSH), as well as prevents increases in oxidative stress, in zygotes from mice exposed to heat stress prior to mating when administered to dams prior to heat stress at a dose of 1 g/kg.(±)-α-Tocopherol acetate (>1,050 IU/kg in the diet) prevents body weight loss and prevents decreases in pulmonary dynamic compliance in mice exposed to sidestream cigarette smoke but not in sham exposure animals. However, it also increases the levels of IL-1β, IL-4, and IFN-γ in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of sidestream cigarette smoke-exposed, but not sham exposure, mice.
