title: Synthesis and physiological activity of novel tocopheryl glycosides.
abstract: Vitamin E glycosides were synthesized and enzymatic hydrolysis was examined for use as potential pro-drugs, however, the glycoside bond was found to be stable. On the other hand, among the glycosides synthesized, dl-alpha-tocopherylglucoside (6b) and dl-alpha-tocopherylmannoside (6c) showed strong inhibitory action on histamine release from mast cells. In addition, 6c also showed a suppressive action on IgE antibody formation. Thus, tocopheryl glycoside showed new properties compared to tocopherol (vitamin E). In particular, 6c was shown to be a novel lead compound with excellent manifold anti-allergic activity and anti-inflammatory activity.
