β-tocotrienol

Beta-Tocotrienol to serve as a new anticancer agent for treating human lung and brain cancers. It inhibits the growth of both A549 (GI50=1.38±0.334μM) and U87MG (GI50=2.53±0.604μM) cells at rather low concentrations.

γ-Tocotrienol (Plastochromanol) is one of the four types of tocotrienol, a type of vitamin E. Itl is also a radioprotector, antioxidant. It shows antitumor and antihypertensive effects in vivo.

δ-Tocotrienol (Delta-Tocotrienol) is a potential angiogenic inhibitor. δ-Tocotrienol is also a nontoxic activator of mir-34a which can inhibit nonsmall cell lung cancer cells (NSC-LC) cell proliferation, induce apoptosis and inhibit invasion, and thus offering a potential starting point for the design of novel anticancer agents.

D-ALPHA-TOCOTRIENOL, an isoform of vitamin E, is found in vegetables, fruits, seeds, grains, oils and nuts.
