δ-Tocotrienol is one of the forms of vitamin E (four tocopherols (alpha, beta, delta, and gamma) and four tocotrienols (alpha, beta, delta, and gamma)), which is known for its antioxidant activity. At 0.1-10 muM, delta-tocotrienol significantly suppresses H2O2-induced cell death of rat striatal neurons and provides protection against S-nitrocysteine-induced cell death and SIN-1 cytotoxicity in a concentration dependent manner. At concentrations of 10 muM, delta-tocotrienol displays more inhibitory action on adhesiveness of HAECs to U937 monocytic cells, via inhibition of VCAM-1 expression, than alpha-tocopherol and other tocotrienols at the same concentration.
