Application

(±)-α-Tocopherol phosphate disodium salt has been used as an antioxidant, to assess its protection against oxidative damage in rat hippocampal neurons. It has also been used to study its molecular mechanisms and transport across the plasma membrane.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tocopherols (TCP) (vitamin E) are a series (α, β, γ and δ) 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 Homo sapiens. α-Tocopherol phosphate (TocP) is used along the α-tocopherol acetate, α-tocopherol-nicotinate, α-tocopherol succinate and other esterified forms as a vitamin E supplement with similar but differential activities.

Protection by vitamin E against free radical-induced DNA mutations appears not to be an effective occurrence. On the other hand, in vitro evidence that different tocopherols slow down cell proliferation is an accepted observation. However, such an event may not

The natural vitamin E analog α-tocopheryl phosphate (αTP) modulates atherosclerotic and inflammatory events more efficiently than the unphosphorylated α-tocopherol (αT). To investigate the molecular mechanisms involved, we have measured plasma levels of αTP and compared the cellular effects of αT

The finding that alpha-tocopheryl phosphate is present in cells in small amounts, that it can be synthesized and hydrolyzed supports the hypothesis that alpha-tocopheryl phosphate might be a signaling molecule. The possible pathways needed for the synthesis, hydrolysis and signaling
