Solubility (25°C)*

In vitro

In vivo (Add solvents to the product individually and in order)

Clear solution

5% DMSO 1 95% Corn oil

7.5mg/ml

Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 150 mg/ml clear DMSO stock solution to 950 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results.

* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

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

vitamin E is capable of inducing necrosis in TC-1 cells and has antioxidant effects against nitric oxide^[1].

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].

Density

0.95 g/mL at 25 °C

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:^{^[1]}	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.
Animal Study:^{^[1]}	Animal Models C57BL/6 mice Dosages 2 mg/kg Administration i.p.
