α-Tocopheryl Succinate is a derivative of vitamin E (α-tocopherol) in which the succinate group is esterified to the hydroxyl group of α-tocopherol. This compound retains the antioxidant properties of vitamin E while also exhibiting unique biological activities, including anticancer effects. α-Tocopheryl Succinate has been studied for its ability to induce apoptosis in cancer cells, making it a promising candidate for cancer research. It also protects cells from oxidative stress by scavenging free radicals. Unlike regular α-tocopherol, this derivative shows greater stability and bioactivity, making it valuable for therapeutic applications and research into oxidative damage and cancer treatment.
