The synthesis of a series of Tocopherol long chain Fatty Alcohols (TEA) and their biological activities on the modulation of microglial activation are described. Specifically, the 2-(12-hydroxy-dodecyl)-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-chroman-6-ol, the TEA bearing 12 carbon atoms on the side chain (n = 12), shows the most potent inhibition of secretion on nitric oxide (NO) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated microglia.
