  • Aqueous emulsions of lipophile solubilized with vitamin E TPGS and linoleic acid
    Patent number: 7790190
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an aqueous emulsion. The lipid phase of the emulsion includes a blend of a therapeutically effective concentration of a lipophile, a concentration of Vitamin E TPGS, and a concentration of linoleic acid. The presence of linoleic acid increases the solubilizing affect of Vitamin E TPGS on the lipophile and thus reduces the amount of Vitamin E TPGS that would otherwise be required in the aqueous emulsion.

  • Process for synthesizing d-tocotrienols from 2-vinylchromane compound
    Patent number: 7038067
    Abstract: A process of forming a d-tocotrienol from a (2S)-vinylchromane compound, through hydroboration of the (2S)-vinylchromane to provide an organoborane, followed by coupling the organoborane with a halogenated C-14 sidechain compound under conditions of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling is taught. Methods for providing the (2S)-vinylchromane compound and the halogenated C-14 compound are disclosed.
