Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0059488A2] The present invention provides a method for enhancing the delivery of antioxidant Vitamin E compounds to tissues, cells and subcellular sites (both in vivo and in vitro) and in particular to mitochondria, thereby increasing the antioxidative capacity of mitochondria. The Vitamin E compounds that are administered may be cleaved by cellular esterases to release antioxidant alpha -T, beta -T, gamma -T, and/or delta -T. Further, the administration of Vitamin E compounds may have a coordinate action with respect to treating tumors in that the intact, uncleaved form of the Vitamin E compound has antitumor activity while the cleaved form exerts antioxidant effects.
