| Description | α-Tocopherol, also known as vitamin e, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tocopherols. These are vitamin E derivatives containing a saturated trimethyltridecyl chain attached to the carbon C6 atom of a benzopyran ring system. The differ from tocotrienols that contain an unsaturated trimethyltrideca-3,7,11-trien-1-yl chain. α-Tocopherol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Outside of the human body, α-tocopherol has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as german camomiles, summer savories, abiyuchs, common buckwheats, and hyacinth beans. This could make α-tocopherol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. α-Tocopherol has three stereocenters, so it is a chiral molecule. This mix of stereoisomers is often called dl-α-tocopheryl acetate. The SRR may be named 2-epi-α-tocopherol, the diastereomeric mixture of RRR-α-tocopherol and 2-epi-α-tocopherol may be called 2-ambo-α-tocopherol (formerly named dl-α-tocopherol). However, 1 IU of this mixture of diastereomers is not now considered equivalent to 1 IU of natural RRR-α-tocopherol, and the Institute of Medicine and the USDA now convert IUs of the racemic mixture to milligrams of equivalent RRR using 1 IU racemic mixture 0.45 "Mg α-tocopherol". Older name of RRR-α-tocopherol is d-α-tocopherol, but this d/l naming should be no longer used, because whether l-α-tocopherol should mean SSS enantiomer or the SRR diastereomer is not clear, from historical reasons. The mixture of all eight diastereomers is called all-rac-α-tocopherolOne IU of tocopherol is defined as ⅔ milligrams of RRR-α-tocopherol (formerly named d-α-tocopherol, or sometimes ddd-α-tocopherol). The eight stereoisomers of α-tocopherol differ the configuration on these stereocenters. All feature a chromane ring, with a hydroxyl group that can donate a hydrogen atom to reduce free radicals and a hydrophobic side chain which allows for penetration into biological membranes. α-Tocopherol is a type of vitamin E. It has E number "E307". vita e is found in Acca sellowiana, Albifimbria verrucaria, Antidesma pentandrum, Calea jamaicensis, Corymbia citriodora, Cupania americana, Cystoseira barbata, Daphne gnidium, Dictyota dichotoma, Dioscorea alata, Diospyros maritima, Euglena gracilis, Euscaphis japonica, Ficus pumila, Fossombronia alaskana, Goniophlebium mengtzeense, Hemerocallis fulva, Labisia pumila, Litsea acutivena, Machilus zuihoensis, Neolitsea hiiranensis, Oncorhynchus keta, Piper aduncum, Piper guineense, Pittosporum tobira, Rhododendron formosanum, Rhodomyrtus tomentosa, Trichilia claussenii, Vaccinium myrtillus and Xylocarpus granatum. Compared to the others, α-tocopherol is preferentially absorbed and accumulated in humans. |
