Description

Lipoic acid, reduced (LAR) is a naturally occurring compound that is found in many living organisms. It has been used to study the mechanisms of DNA binding and protein oxidation. Lipoic acid, reduced has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins. The rate constant for LAR is 10-3 M-1s-1 at 25°C and pH 7.0, which can be measured using a polymer composition method. This compound also has an optical sensor and chemiluminescence method that are able to measure the rate constant and determine its concentration.
