Description of (±)-α-Tocopherol nicotinate

(±)-α-Tocopherol nicotinate, vitamin E - nicotinate, is an orally active fat-soluble antioxidant that prevents lipid peroxidation in cell membranes. (±)-α-Tocopherol nicotinate is hydrolysed in the blood to α -tocopherol and niacin and may be used in studies of related vascular diseases[1][2].

(±)-α-Tocopherol nicotinate can help slow the progression of microangiopathy in type 2 diabetics by reducing lipid peroxidation stress in the red blood cell membrane, improving blood rheology and red blood cell deformability[1].
(±)-α-Tocopherol nicotinate (Vitamin E) (2 μg/mL, 24 h) increases the proportion of CD4+CD8-T cells in thymocytes by pretreating the thymic epithelial cell line IT45-R1 and then incubating it with immature T cells[2].

(±)-α-Tocopherol nicotinate (Vitamin E) (in animal feedings, 50 mg/kg or 585 mg/kg, 7 weeks) significantly increases the proportion of CD4+CD8- T cells and the expression of ICAM-1 in thymic epithelial cells (TECs) isolated of male Fisher rats at high dose concentrations of 585 mg/kg compared to low dose treatment of 50 mg/kg[2].

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

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.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
