The decrease in plasma pyruvate kinase activity after administration of various tocopherols to vitamin E-deficient rats provided the basis for a 3-point parallel-slope assay for vitamin E activity. Based on 6 replicate assays, RRR-alpha-tocopheryl acetate (RRR-alpha-TA) was 141% as active as all-rac-alpha-tocopheryl acetate (all-rac-alpha-TA). This confirms many previous reports with other bioassays and is in agreement with the unit-weight relationships assigned by The National Formulary. 2-ambo-alpha-Tocopheryl acetate was 97% as active as all-rac-alpha-TA indicating that only the configuration of the 2-position on the chromanol ring is important in determining the biological activity of alpha-tocopherol.
给维生素E缺乏的大鼠施用各种生育酚后,血浆丙酮酸激酶活性降低,这为维生素E活性的三点平行斜率测定提供了基础。基于6次重复测定,RRR-α-生育酚醋酸酯(RRR-α-TA)的活性是消旋-α-生育酚醋酸酯(消旋-α-TA)的141%。这证实了许多先前其他生物测定的报告,并且与美国国家处方集规定的单位重量关系一致。2-消旋-α-生育酚醋酸酯的活性是消旋-α-TA的97%,这表明仅色满醇环上2位的构型在决定α-生育酚的生物活性方面很重要。
