General description

D-δ-Tocotrienol is a bioavailable isomer of vitamin E and has farnesyl side chain. Palm oil is rich in δ-Tocotrienol.

Biochem/physiol Actions

D-δ-Tocotrienol suppresses ras sarcoma (Ras) protein levels. It elicits anti-proliferative functionality in melanoma cells by halting cell cycle and favoring apoptosis. δ-Tocotrienol is cytotoxic to human lung adenocarcinoma and glioblastoma cancer cells. δ-Tocotrienol possesses anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic and neuroprotective functionality. It is an effective hypocholesterolemic agent and an inhibitor of lipid peroxidation.
Tocotrienols are widely utilized for their strong antioxidant properties. The various isoforms of tocotrienols differ in their methyl substitution in the chromanol head. δ-tocotrienol, effectively blocks cleavage of SREBPs, ultimately decreasing the amount of cholesterol synthesized in the liver.

δ-Tocotrienol (DT3), a vitamin E isoform, is associated with strong antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties. We confirmed the potent antioxidant activity in membrane systems and showed that DT3 is an effective radiation protector and mitigator. DT3 (4 μM, P < 0.001)

4-Hydroxyphenylmethylene hydantoin (PMH, 1), isolated from the Red Sea sponge Hemimycale arabica, and delta-tocotrienol (3), isolated from the tocotrienol-rich fraction of palm oil, are important antimetastatic and antiproliferative natural products that proved effective against metastatic prostate and breast cancers, respectively.
