δ-Tocopherol (δ-T) is a chiral organic molecule belonging to the group of tocopherol, that vary in their degree of methylation of the phenol moiety of the chromanol ring. It was revealed, that δ-Tocopherol had a more potent anticancer activity in solid tumors compared to the other tocopherols, δ-T possessed antileukemic activity of in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). δ-T induced tumor cell death through peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) induction, cyclin-D1 inhibition, and modulation of redox balance. In addition, on animal models was found, that δ-tocopherol was more active than α- or γ-tocopherol in inhibiting lung tumor growth, possibly through trapping reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and inducing apoptosis.

Effects of δ-T (δ-Tocopherol) on Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) cells. Jurkat, TOM-1, K-562, KG-1, THP-1, and UMCL01-101 cell lines were incubated with increasing concentrations of δ-T (0-200 µM) for 72 hours. Cell viability was quantified using a tetrazolium dye reduction assay. Apoptotic induction and cell cycle arrest explained the efficacy of δ-T against KG-1 cells. The mechanism of cell growth inhibition of δ-T was through downregulation of cyclin-D1 and a set of homeobox proteins (HOXA9, PBX1, and Cdx2) that have a well-documented role in the pathobiology of AML.
