alpha-Tocopherol was found to decrease the level of rat thymocytes DNA fragmentation and to increase the viability of these cells under apoptosis induction by dexamethazone. So the antiapoptotic role of this vitamin is suggested. In contrast to alpha-tocopherol synthetic antioxidant ionol and alpha-tocopherylacetate, contained only 6 carbon atoms in its isoprenoid side chain caused the cell death from necrosis. This process preceded the apoptosis stimulated by dexamethazone.

Several spectrophotometric assays, such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), are commonly used to assess antioxidant activity. However, these methods often lack real-world relevance as they do not inhibit autoxidation in actual food substrates. Although direct measurement of oxygen consumption or peroxide formation during inhibited autoxidation offers certain advantages, it is labor intensive and requires specialized equipment.

Article Synopsis
- This study explored how Bene hull methanolic extract (BHME) can act as a natural antioxidant in reducing lipid oxidation in vegetable oils, comparing its effectiveness to synthetic antioxidants like BHT.
- The research measured the antioxidant activity of BHME at different concentrations and storage times, using statistical tools like ANOVA and Support Vector Machine (SVM) models to analyze the results.
- Findings showed BHME has significant antioxidant potential, especially in bulk oils, with effective comparisons to synthetic options, alluding to its promise for enhancing the shelf life of lipid-based food products.

Tocopherols, potent bioactive compounds with anticancer properties, remain understudied in herbal medicinal plants, presenting a significant knowledge gap in the field of natural anticancer agents. This review evaluates tocopherol-containing plants for their anticancer potential, analyzing Scopus publications from 2016 to 2024. Fifteen herbal medicinal plants were identified as promising candidates, including Poelln, L.

The lipophilization of polyphenols (phenolipids) may increase their affinity for membranes, leading to better antioxidant protection. Cholesteryl esters of caffeic, dihydrocaffeic, homoprotocatechuic and protocatechuic acids were synthetized in a one-step procedure with good to excellent yields of ~50-95%. After evaluation of their radical scavenging capacity by the DPPH method and establishing the anodic peak potential by cyclic voltammetry, their antioxidant capacity against AAPH-induced oxidative stress in soybean PC liposomes was determined.

Cancer is a disease resulting from uncontrolled cell division, which significantly contributes to human mortality rates. An alternative approach to cancer treatment, such as cancer immunotherapy, is needed as the existing chemotherapy and radiotherapy approaches target the cancer cells and healthy dividing cells. Vitamin E is a plant-derived lipid-soluble antioxidant with numerous health-promoting benefits, including anticancer and immunomodulatory properties.
