“…Moreover, because of their solvent capacity and biocompatibility, vitamin E-based nanomedicines in cancer therapy have been developed. Furthermore, the serum stability and low toxicity of vitamin E, and the presence of physiological pathways of tocopherol transport to various tissues including brain from blood have led to several investigations on systemic delivery applications. , In recent times, the efficiency of α-tocopherol as a delivery system in vivo for the delivery of nucleic acids has been reported. , It is reported from previous studies that α-tocopherol performed similarly as cholesterol in changing liposomes, i.e., making the liposomes highly protein-induced disruption-resistant, and it as found that this inhibition of protein-induced disruption is more effective with tocopherol compared to cholesterol. Therefore, this made tocopherol-based liposomes more efficient vectors for in vivo gene delivery. ,, Together, impressed by DC-Chol applications and the biological importance of tocopherol, we were inspired to design, synthesize, and evaluate four tocopherol-based cationic derivatives, with varying degrees of methylation, AC-Toc (3β-[ N -(aminoethane)carbamoyl]tocopherol) hydrochloride), MC-Toc (3β-[ N -( N ′-methylaminoethane)carbamoyl]tocopherol hydrochloride), DC-Toc (3β-[ N -( N ′, N ′-dimethylaminoethane)carbamoyl]tocopherol hydrochloride), and TC-Toc (3β-[ N -( N ′, N ′, N ′-trimethylaminoethane)carbamoyl]tocopherol hydrochloride).…”
