Vitamin E derivatives hearing a carboxylic group have recently gained great attention because of their antitumoral properties. Garcinoic acid (trans-13'-carboxy-delta-tocotrienol) is a vitamin E analog extracted from Garcinia Kola seeds in which the carboxylic group is at the end of the aliphatic side chain and reported to be a racemate based on the optical rotation measurements. However, CD determination of a sample of the acid analyzed by us gave a positive peak at 208 nm, indicating that it is not a racemate. To assess the enantiomeric composition of garcinoic acid, it was thus transformed to alpha-tocopherol and analyzed by chiral HPLC on column OD-H. On the basis of the elution order of alpha-tocopherol stereoisomers, the garcinoic acid sample resulted to be enantiopure with R configuration at carbon 2 of the chroman ring. Moreover, in a preliminary test, the acid and some of its derivatives showed a marked antiproliferative effect on glioma C6 cancer cells. Chirality 21:519-524, 2009. (C) 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
