5-[(3S)-Dithiolan-3-yl]pentanoic acid Usage And Synthesis

Uses

A fat-metabolism stimulator. Antioxidant.

Definition

ChEBI: (S)-lipoic acid is the (S)-enantiomer of lipoic acid. Not found in nature, it may exert detrimental effects on biosystems. It is a lipoic acid, a heterocyclic fatty acid, a thia fatty acid and a member of dithiolanes. It is functionally related to an octanoic acid. It is an enantiomer of a (R)-lipoic acid.

Biological Activity

Biological antioxidant with prooxidant activities . Method for enantioseparation of lipoic acid in dietary supplements by capillary electrophoresis.
