α-Tocotrienol is an antioxidant and a form of vitamin E that has been found in rice bran and has neuroprotective properties.{3679,14290,14292,52764} It reduces cell death induced by hydrogen peroxide, paraquat, S-nitrocysteine, SIN-1 (Item No. 82220), or L-buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO; Item No. 14484) in rat striatal cultures when used at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 10 µM.{14290} Cytosolic microinjection of α-tocotrienol prevents glutamate-induced cell death and phosphorylation of 12-lipoxygenase (12-LO) in HT4 neurons.{14292} It reduces glutamate-induced cytosolic and mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), accumulation of N-terminally truncated Bcl-xL (ΔN-Bcl-xL), and cell death in primary rat hippocampal neurons.{52764} α-Tocotrienol (50 mg/kg) reduces infarct size in a spontaneously hypertensive rat model of stroke induced by tandem right common carotid artery and middle cerebral artery occlusion.{14292}

    CAY10512 – 50 mg

    The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) regulates the expression of numerous genes involved in immunity and inflammation, cellular stress responses, growth, and apoptosis. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic trans-stilbene, is a known inhibitor of the activation of NF-κB and exhibits activity against a wide variety of cancer cells. CAY10512 is a substituted trans-stilbene analog of resveratrol that is 100-fold more potent as measured by antioxidant activity. The IC50 value for inhibition of TNFα-induced activation of NF-κB by CAY10512 is 0.15 µM compared to 20 µM by resveratrol.{14545}
