Description

α-Tocopheramine is a chemically modified derivative of Vitamin E (α-tocopherol), where the terminal hydroxyl group is replaced by an amino group. This structural modification enhances its stability and functionality, making it a valuable intermediate and active ingredient for specialized applications. It is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and high-performance cosmetic industries. The compound is supplied under the identifier CAS NO 7666-00-4.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of advanced drug formulations and prodrugs targeting oxidative stress.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Serves as a key ingredient in premium antioxidant and anti-aging supplement blends.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into high-end skincare products like serums and creams for its enhanced stability and skin-conditioning properties.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a standard or reagent in studies related to lipid peroxidation, membrane biology, and antioxidant mechanisms.
• Animal Nutrition: Used in specialized feed additives for livestock and pets to support immune function and product quality.
• Food Fortification: Potential application in functional foods requiring a more stable form of Vitamin E activity.

Quality Control

Our α-Tocopheramine is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) that detail specifications such as assay, impurity profiles, and physical characteristics. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring high standards, including cGMP for pharmaceutical intermediates.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., under nitrogen or argon) is recommended to preserve stability and potency. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
