Potential antiproliferative effects of tocotrienols, the major vitamin E component in palm oil, were investigated on the growth of both estrogen-responsive (ER+) MCF7 human breast cancer cells and estrogen-unresponsive (ER-) MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells, and effects were compared with

With use of inexpensive commercially available raw materials, chromanmethanol precursors to the natural beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocotrienols have been prepared in high yield. Enzymatic resolution afforded chiral chromanmethanols in high enantiomeric excess. Subsequent attachment of the farnesyl side chain was
