13-Hydroxy-alpha-tocopherol
13-Hydroxy-alpha-tocopherol is a fat-soluble vitamin E derivative and anticancer agent with antioxidant and antiproliferative activities. 13-Hydroxy-alpha-tocopherol scavenges peroxyl free radicals and protects polyunsaturated fatty acids from oxidative damage. 13-Hydroxy-alpha-tocopherol not only inhibits the growth of glioma cancer cells, but its deficiency is also closely associated with recurrent miscarriage, embryonic growth retardation and death. Clinical observations show that the expression of 13-Hydroxy-alpha-tocopherol is downregulated in the follicular fluid of patients with recurrent miscarriage. 13-Hydroxy-alpha-tocopherol has important application potential in the research of recurrent miscarriage and glioma.
