Abstract
Tocol derivative compounds, compositions comprising these tocol derivatives and methods of using the tocol derivatives are provided herein. Specifically the tocol derivatives have a partially unsaturated hydrocarbon tail and are thus distinct from the tocopherols. The hydrocarbon tails do not have a trans carbon-carbon double bond in the second isoprene unit of the hydrocarbon tail and are distinct from the tocotrienols. The compounds are expected to allow improved interaction with the α-tocopherol transfer protein receptor than the tocotrienols and better bioactivity than the tocopherols.
