Although it is highly absorbed and can build up in several human tissues, gamma-tocopherol (D-γ-tocopherol) is mostly converted to 2,7,8-trimethyl-2-(β-carboxyethyl) -6-Hydroxychroman (gamma-CEHC), which is primarily eliminated by urine [1]. The incidence of prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease is inversely correlated with plasma concentrations of γ-tocopherol (D-γ-tocopherol) [1].

| Additional Infomation |
γ-Tocopherol is a tocopherol in which the 7th and 8th positions of the cromoglycan-6-ol core are replaced by methyl groups. It is primarily found in corn and soybean oil. γ-Tocopherol is a plant metabolite, a food antioxidant, and an algal metabolite. It is a form of vitamin E and a tocopherol. γ-Tocopherol is currently being studied in the clinical trial NCT00836368 (Study on the in vitro basophil response to allergen-induced allergic asthma after γ-tocopherol supplementation in patients). γ-Tocopherol has been reported in perilla, soybeans, and several other organisms with relevant data. γ-Tocopherol is a naturally occurring, fat-soluble form of vitamin E with high oral bioavailability, found in certain nuts and seeds, and possesses potential antioxidant activity. Although the exact mechanism of action of this tocopherol is not fully understood, γ-Tocopherol appears to have the ability to scavenge free radicals, thereby protecting the body from oxidative damage. It is a natural tocopherol, and its antioxidant activity is lower than that of α-Tocopherol. Its antioxidant activity is due to the phenolic hydroxyl hydrogen on its 2H-1-benzopyran-6-ol core. Similar to β-tocopherol, it also contains three methyl groups on its 6-chromanol core, but in different positions.

| Solubility (In Vitro) |

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.00 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: 2.5 mg/mL (6.00 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with ultrasonication. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More
Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.00 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
