Description
γ-Tocotrienol is a form of vitamin E that has been found in rice bran and has diverse biological activities. It reduces cell death induced by hydrogen peroxide, paraquat, S-nitrocysteine, SIN-1 , or L-buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO; ) in rat striatal cultures when used at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 10 μM. γ-Tocotrienol (20 μM) induces apoptosis in malignant sympathoadrenal (+SA) mouse mammary epithelial cells. In vivo, γ-tocotrienol (15, 30, and 150 mg/kg) reduces blood pressure and plasma lipid peroxide levels in spontaneously hypertensive rats. [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 2111]
Chemical Properties

Uses
γ-Tocotrienol exhibits antioxidant properties and belongs to the vitamin E family. It is naturally found in wheat germ oil and bran. In addition, α-tocopherol and γ-tocotrienol derivatives are potential lead compounds for developing?anticancer and?antiproliferative agents against?MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and the A549 lung cancer cells.
Definition
ChEBI: A tocotrienol that is chroman-6-ol substituted by methyl groups at positions 2, 7 and 8 and a farnesyl chain at position 2.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 14101-61-2 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 1,4,1,0 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 6 and 1 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 14101-61:
(7*1)+(6*4)+(5*1)+(4*0)+(3*1)+(2*6)+(1*1)=52
52 % 10 = 2
So 14101-61-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

SEPARATION OF CHIRAL ISOMERS BY SFC

Page/Page column 35, (2016/12/22)
The present invention relates to the field of separating chiral isomers from each other. Particularly, it relates to the field of separating of chiral isomers of chromane or chromene compounds, particularly tocopherols, 3,4-dehydro-tocopherols and tocotrienols, as well as the protected forms thereof. It has been found that the use of supercritical carbon dioxide as mobile phase combined with the very specific chiral phase as stationary phase leads to a very efficient separation of the individual chiral isomers. As the method is very efficient and fast combined with advantageous in view of ecology it is of big industrial interest.

The substrate specificity of the enzyme tocopherol cyclase from the blue-green algae Anabaena variabilis (Cyanobacteria) was investigated with 11 substrate analogues revealing the significance of three major recognition sites: (i) the OH group at C(1) of the hydroquinone, (ii) the (E) configuration of the double bond, and (iii) the length of the lipophilic side chain. Experiments with two affinity matrices suggest that substrates approach the enzyme's active site with the hydrophobic tail.
