Abstract

We report that alpha-tocopheryl succinate, a vitamin E analogue with pro-apoptotic properties, selectively kills cells with a malignant or transformed phenotype, i.e. multiple haematopoietic and carcinoma cell lines, while being non-toxic to normal, i.e. primary and non-transformed cells. These findings strongly suggest a potential of this micronutrient in the therapy and/or prevention of cancer without significant side-effects.
