β-Tocopherol (Standard)

• CAS Number: 16698-35-4
• UNSPSC Description: β-Tocopherol (Standard) is the analytical standard of β-Tocopherol. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. β-Tocopherol is an analogue of vitamin E, exhibits antioxidant properties. β-Tocopherol can inhibit tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis. β-Tocopherol also can prevent the inhibition of cell growth and of PKC activity caused by d-alpha-tocopherol[1][2][3].
