β-Tocotrienol
Based on 1 Customer Validation
β-Tocotrienol is an isomer of vitamin E. β-Tocotrienol is a less potent antioxidant than α-tocotrienol. β-Tocotrienol can be found in the tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) of palm oil, which possesses anti-carcinogenic effects in vitro on human colon carcinoma and prostate cancer cells. β-Tocotrienol inhibits the growth of A549 (GI50 = 1.38 μM) and U87MG (GI50 = 2.53 μM) cells. β-Tocotrienol also induces apoptosis in cancer cells. β-Tocotrienol can inhibit PD-L1 expression and mitigates PD-L1-mediated immune suppression in vitro and in vivo.

Biological Activity
β-Tocotrienol (1-100 μM, 24-72 h) significantly inhibits the cell viability in a concentration- and time-dependent manner in both A549 and U87MG cells[2].
β-Tocotrienol (2 mM for A549; 3 mM for U87MG and 50 mM for MRC5, 72 h) results in well-formed comets and acts to induce apoptosis in both A549 and U87MG cells[2].
β-Tocotrienol (2-10 μM for A549 and 3-60 μM for U87MG, 24-48 h) increases the ratio of G0/G1 phase[2].
β-Tocotrienol (10 μM) results in loss of membrane integrity, vacuoles formation and cytoplasmic extension in A549 cells[2].
β-Tocotrienol (10-30 μM) downregulates PD-L1 expression and suppresses PD-L1-mediated tumor-intrinsic signaling in LLC lung cancer and DU145 prostate cancer cells[3].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.09 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (6.09 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
