dl-alpha-tocopherol (Vitamin E)
- Target
- Vitamin E
- Molecular classification
- Antioxidant, Vitamin
01
Overview
dl-alpha-tocopherol, commonly known as Vitamin E, is a synthetic form of alpha-tocopherol and functions primarily as a fat-soluble antioxidant. It protects cell membranes from oxidative damage by scavenging free radicals and terminating lipid peroxidation chain reactions. While it exhibits antioxidant properties, it is not typically considered a therapeutic target in the same way as receptors or enzymes.
- Other names
- dl-alpha-Tocopherol(±)-α-TocopherolDL-all-rac-α-Tocopherol
