(±)-5,7-Dimethyltocol

(±)-5,7-Dimethyltocol is a form of tocopherol. It has similar antioxidant activity to alpha-tocol, but lower activity than gamma-tocol, in antioxidant assays using menhaden oil or squalene as substrates. It also increases microviscosity of rat liver liposomes containing phosphatidylcholine (PC) by 70.6% when used at a molar ratio of 0.2 to PC. (±)-Dimethyltocol has been used as an internal standard for the quantification of 5,7-tocol, alpha- and gamma-tocopherol, and alpha- and gamma-tocopheryl quinone by HPLC. [Matreya, LLC.
