Metabolite Identification
Common NameDelta-Tocopherol
DescriptionDelta-Tocopherol, also known as 8-methyltocol or δ-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. Thus, Delta-tocopherol is considered to be a quinone lipid molecule. Delta-Tocopherol exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Delta-Tocopherol exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.
