Application

(±)-α-Tocopherol-(trimethyl-¹³C₃ phenyl) can be used as a stable isotope internal standard for accurate data interpretation in specific biological samples.

General description

(±)-α-Tocopherol is a racemic mixture of α-tocopherol which is also known as vitamin E. It is a lipid-soluble antioxidant found in whole grains, nuts, andoils. It is known to scavenge reactive oxygen species by interacting with lipids duringoxidative stress.(±)-α-Tocopherol-(trimethyl-¹³C₃phenyl) is an isotope of vitamin E wherein all the three methyl carbons attached to the phenyl ring are replaced by ¹³C₆ carbon.
