Descriptor tocoferoles
Entry term(s) tocoferol
Scope note: Nombre genérico de un grupo de lípidos, estrechamente relacionados, que contienen sustituciones en el núcleo de 2H-1-benzopiran-6-ol y unidades isoprenoides con hidrocarburos de cadena larga. Son sustancias antioxidantes en virtud del hidrógeno fenólico. Los tocoferoles reaccionan con la mayoria de las formas reactivas de oxígeno y protegen a los ácidos grasos insaturados frente a la oxidación.

Scope note: A collective name for a group of closely related lipids that contain substitutions on the 2H-1-benzopyran-6-ol nucleus and a long hydrocarbon chain of isoprenoid units. They are antioxidants by virtue of the phenolic hydrogen. Tocopherols react with the most reactive form of oxygen and protect unsaturated fatty acids from oxidation.
