Metabolite Identification
Common NameGamma-Tocopherol
DescriptionGamma-Tocopherol, also known as vitaplus e or DL-alpha-tocopherol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tocopherols. These are vitamin E derivatives containing a saturated trimethyltridecyl chain attached to the carbon C6 atom of a benzopyran ring system. The differ from tocotrienols that contain an unsaturated trimethyltrideca-3,7,11-trien-1-yl chain. Gamma-Tocopherol exists as a liquid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule.
