Tocopheryl Acetate

OriginNative to Netherlands. Derived from tocopherol (vitamin E) and acetic acid through esterification synthesis. Produced by chemically bonding acetic acid to natural or synthetic tocopherol under catalytic conditions.

Vitamin E Acetate is the acetate ester of a fat-soluble vitamin with potent antioxidant properties. Considered essential for the stabilization of biological membranes (especially those with high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acid), vitamin E is a generic name for a group of compounds known as tocopherols and tocotrienols (tocols). This agent is a potent peroxyl radical scavenger and inhibits noncompetitively cyclooxygenase activity in many tissues, resulting in a decrease in prostaglandin production. Vitamin E also inhibits angiogenesis and tumor dormancy through suppressing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene transcription. (NCI04)
