The preparation and characterization of two vitamin E analogs-sydnonimine conjugates, delta-tocopheryloxycarbonyl-3-morpholinosydnonimine (2) and troloxoxycarbonyl-3-morpholinosydnonimine (3), in which the hydroxyl group of the tocopheryl moieties is linked via an enzymatically cleavable urethane group to the sydnone moiety is described. In the presence of porcine liver esterase, these tocopheryl-sydnonimine conjugates generated the expected antioxidant moieties, i.e., delta-tocopherol or Trolox, and were found to convert oxyhemoglobin to methemoglobin at 37 degrees C in 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.4, thus providing evidence for nitric oxide release. Their potency as antioxidants was indirectly studied by associating the two products of the hydrolysis, SIN-1, and delta-tocopherol or Trolox. Our findings suggest that unlike the other members of the sydnonimine family these chromane-sydnonimine derivatives do not act as peroxynitrite donors, and require enzymatic bioactivation before nitric oxide or nitroxyl anion (NO(-)) can be released.

Article Synopsis
- * Four groups of male C57BL/6 mice were supplemented with either control diet or HFD, with either sunflower oil or maqui oil, over a 12-week period.
- * Results showed that MO supplementation led to significant reductions in visceral fat, liver fat infiltration, and certain liver enzyme levels, indicating its potential to combat fatty liver disease and suggesting further research for human health applications.
Scavenging of Retinoid Cation Radicals by Urate, Trolox, and α-, β-, γ-, and δ-Tocopherols.

Retinoids are present in human tissues exposed to light and under increased risk of oxidative stress, such as the retina and skin. Retinoid cation radicals can be formed as a result of the interaction between retinoids and other radicals or photoexcitation with light. It has been shown that such semi-oxidized retinoids can oxidize certain amino acids and proteins, and that α-tocopherol can scavenge the cation radicals of retinol and retinoic acid.

Crizotinib is an inhibitor of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and is of significant therapeutic benefit to patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring the EML4-ALK fusion gene. In the present study, we demonstrated that α-tocopherol, a major component of vitamin E, attenuated the effects of crizotinib independently of its anti-oxidant properties. α-Tocopherol significantly inhibited crizotinib-induced apoptosis in cells transformed by EML4-ALK.

A method for the simultaneous determination of lipoic acid and/or Trolox methyl ether, along with α-, γ- and δ-tocopherol was developed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with negative electrospray ionization (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) in an ion-trap mass spectrometer. Detection and quantification were accomplished by a multiple reaction monitoring method, using specific transitions from precursor ion to product ion for each analyte. Chromatographic separation was achieved in a 12 min run using a C(18) -bonded phase and methanol-aqueous ammonium acetate elution gradient.
