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, and oils. It is known to scavenge reactive oxygen species by interacting with lipids during oxidative stress.
(±)-α-Tocopherol-(trimethyl-13C3 phenyl) is an isotope of vitamin E wherein all the three methyl carbons attached to the phenyl ring are replaced by 13C6 carbon.

Application

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