dl-α-tocopheryl phosphate has a growth acceleration effect on domestic fowl. Also was confirmed, that in all investigated animals dl-α-tocopheryl phosphate has an ability to being converted into vitamin E.

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.

Tocopheryl retinoate (tocoretinate) is an alpha-tocopherol ester of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and safely used to treat skin ulcers. Tocopheryl retinoate stimulates the formation of granulation tissue in the ulcer, and enhances the migration of guinea pig macrophages and stimulates the proliferation of human skin fibroblasts. It is usually used to treat pressure ulcer (bedsore) and skin ulcer (burn ulcer, diabetic ulcer, leg ulcer). Topical application of tocoretinate reduced the clinical symptoms of lichen amyloidosis and macular amyloidosis, and normalized disturbed epidermal differentiation.
