Home Neuronal Signaling COX inhibitor - VEGFR inhibitor Vitamin E For research use only.

Vitamin E

Synonyms: Alpha-Tocopherol, D-alpha-Tocopherol, 5,7,8-Trimethyltocol|(+)-alpha-Tocopherol

Vitamin E (D-alpha-Tocopherol) is a fat-soluble vitamin with potent antioxidant properties. It is a potent peroxyl radical scavenger and inhibits noncompetitively cyclooxygenase activity in many tissues, also inhibits angiogenesis and tumor dormancy through suppressing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene transcription.

Biological Activity

Description Vitamin E (D-alpha-Tocopherol) is a fat-soluble vitamin with potent antioxidant properties. It is a potent peroxyl radical scavenger and inhibits noncompetitively cyclooxygenase activity in many tissues, also inhibits angiogenesis and tumor dormancy through suppressing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene transcription.
Targets
COX [2] VEGFR [3]
In vitro
In vitro

vitamin E is capable of inducing necrosis in TC-1 cells and has antioxidant effects against nitric oxide[1].
Cell Research Cell lines TC-1 cells
Concentrations 0, 25, 50 μM
Incubation Time 18 h
Method

For in vitro cytotoxicity experiments, 1×105 TC-1 cells per well are added to 24-well plates. Eighteen hours later, tumor cells are treated with Vitamin E (0, 25, 50 μM). After 18 hours, apoptotic (Annexin V+ and 7AAD−) and necrotic (Annexin V+ and 7AAD+) cells are measured using PE Annexin V Apoptosis Detection Kit I.
In Vivo
In vivo

Vitamin E induces TC-1 cell necrosis in vivo and reduces tumor volume in TC-1 tumor-bearing mice. Vitamin E reduces myeloid derived suppressor cells(MDSCs) in tumors of TC-1 tumor-bearing mice and enhances T cell accumulation[1].

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
