Product Description
Delta-Tocotrienol is a form of vitamin E found in vegetables, fruits, seeds, nuts, grains and oils. Vitamin E is an antioxidant, neuro-protection and anti-cancer agent that can lower cholesterol and other lipids and protect against cardiovascular disease.
δ-Tocotrienol is a member of the vitamin E family, a natural substance found in rice bran and other sources. It exhibits a wide range of biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. It is known for its superior anticancer activity compared to tocopherols in various preclinical cancer models.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
δ-Tocotrienol targets multiple pathways involved in cell proliferation, survival, and inflammation. It is an apoptosis inducer and an NF-κB inhibitor. It has anti-angiogenic activity, reducing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-stimulated tube formation. It also exhibits radioprotective and bone density conservation effects.
ln Vitro
In vitro, δ-tocotrienol inhibits the proliferation of various cancer cell lines, including colorectal carcinoma and breast cancer cells. It induces apoptosis and inhibits cell invasion. It is a potent antioxidant, reducing cell death induced by oxidative stress.
ln Vivo
In vivo, δ-tocotrienol has shown promising anticancer properties in preclinical models. It inhibits the growth of tumors and has been studied for its potential in cancer prevention and therapy. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects also suggest benefits for other chronic diseases.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cellular assays for δ-tocotrienol typically involve measuring its antioxidant activity using DPPH or ABTS radical scavenging assays. Its anti-inflammatory activity can be assessed by measuring its ability to inhibit NF-κB activation or the production of inflammatory mediators in cell-free systems.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for δ-tocotrienol are conducted using various cancer cell lines, such as colorectal carcinoma cells, to assess its antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects. Cells are treated with the compound, and cell viability, apoptosis markers, and signaling pathways (e.g., NF-κB) are analyzed.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for δ-tocotrienol typically involve mouse models of cancer, such as xenografts. The compound is administered orally or via injection, and tumor growth, angiogenesis, and survival are assessed. Its effects on bone density and radiation protection may also be studied.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of δ-tocotrienol are related to its lipophilic nature. It is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed to various tissues. It has a relatively short half-life compared to tocopherols. Its metabolism and tissue distribution are areas of ongoing research.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for δ-tocotrienol indicate that it is safe and well-tolerated. As a natural form of vitamin E, it has a favorable safety profile. No significant toxicity has been reported at typical doses.
Additional Infomation
δ-Tocotrienol is a tocotrienol with the structure chroman-6-ol, substituted with methyl groups at positions 2 and 8, and a farnesyl chain attached at position 2. It is a plant metabolite with various activities including NF-κB inhibitor, antitumor agent, apoptosis inducer, Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite, radiation protectant, anti-inflammatory agent, and bone mineral density maintainer. It is both a tocotrienol and vitamin E. δ-Tocotrienol has been reported to exist in Garcinia multiflora, Bixa orellana, and other organisms with relevant data. δ-Tocotrienol is the δ-form of tocotrienols, a member of the vitamin E family, and possesses potential antitumor activity. After administration, δ-Tocotrienol accumulates in cancer cells, and its anticancer activity may be achieved in part through downregulation and/or degradation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase, cell cycle arrest, and induction of caspase-mediated apoptosis. Furthermore, this drug may partially inhibit angiogenesis by blocking vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and suppressing tumor cell-induced angiogenesis. In summary, these effects may lead to the inhibition of tumor cell growth. The presence of three double bonds on the farnesylisoprene side chain of tocotrienol (absent in tocopherol) may be one reason for its anticancer activity.
δ-Tocotrienol is a promising natural compound for cancer prevention and therapy. It exhibits superior anticancer activity compared to other vitamin E isoforms. It is a valuable research tool for studying the mechanisms of cancer, inflammation, and oxidative stress.
