A fat-metabolism stimulator | [Definition]
ChEBI: (R)-lipoic acid is the (R)-enantiomer of lipoic acid. A vitamin-like, C8 thia fatty acid with anti-oxidant properties. It has a role as a prosthetic group, a nutraceutical and a cofactor. It is a lipoic acid, a member of dithiolanes, a heterocyclic fatty acid and a thia fatty acid. It is functionally related to an octanoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a (R)-lipoate. It is an enantiomer of a (S)-lipoic acid. | [General Description]
α-Lipoic acid is an antioxidant which is generally present in plants, animals and many other microorganisms. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
(R)-(+)-α-Lipoic acid was shown to significantly increase pyruvate oxidation while abrogating fatty acid oxidation in rat hepatocytes. These effects make R-(+)-α-Lipoic acid a promising treatment option for the treatment of Type II diabetes. It is a biological antioxidant with prooxidant activities, its therapeutic potential is widely investigated, e.g. in the treatment for Alzheimer′s disease. |
