Functions

Water soluble derivative of vitamin E with potent antioxidant and radical scavenging activities. Prevents lipid peroxidation induced by CYP2E1 in Hep G2 cells. Inhibits peroxynitrite-mediated oxidative stress and apoptosis in rat thymocytes. Attenuates impaired proliferation of oxidatively stressed myoblasts overexpressing parkin interacting substrate (PARIS/ZNF746). Frequently employed as a benchmark compound to compare the antioxidant capacity of other compounds and reference standard for determination of “trolox equivalents”.

Application Procedures

Trolox can be first dissolved in DMSO (25 mg/ml); or ethanol (25 mg/ml), or water at alkaline pH, then diluted to aqueous buffer. Prepare fresh solutions daily. Do not store solutions.
