Abstract

The antioxidant activity of vitamin E (VE) homologs α, γ and δ-tocotrienamines (4b–6b), never studied before, and α, γ and δ-tocopheramines (4a–7a) was investigated by means of different total antioxidant capacity (TAC) tests. In all the test model systems, compounds 4a– 7a and 4b–6b showed similar or higher TAC values than the parental vitamin E forms and their physiological metabolites. α-Homologs of VE amines showed markedly higher ...
