Description: Vitamin E Succinate, also known as D-α-Tocopherol Succinate, is a weakly acidic derivative of D –α-Tocopherol Hemisuccinate. It acts as an ionizable anionic surfactant and is commonly used to stabilize PE-rich pH-sensitive liposomes. It has been used as a precursor of D –α-Tocopherol for the protection of liver toxicity in an animal model. It was also reported that alpha-tocopheryl succinate has in vivo anti-tumour activity, due to induce apoptosis by causing lysosomal instability.
