CAS 1077-28-7: (±)-Lipoic acid
Description:(±)-Lipoic acid, also known as thioctic acid, is a naturally occurring compound that plays a crucial role in mitochondrial bioenergetics and acts as a cofactor for several enzyme complexes involved in energy metabolism. It is a dithiol compound, featuring two thiol groups that can undergo oxidation and reduction, allowing it to function as a potent antioxidant. This dual nature enables (±)-lipoic acid to scavenge free radicals and regenerate other antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E. The substance is soluble in both water and organic solvents, which enhances its bioavailability and therapeutic potential. (±)-Lipoic acid is often used in dietary supplements for its purported benefits in managing conditions like diabetes, neuropathy, and oxidative stress. Its chiral nature means it exists as a racemic mixture, containing both the R and S enantiomers, which may exhibit different biological activities. Overall, (±)-lipoic acid is recognized for its multifaceted roles in cellular metabolism and antioxidant defense.
