It is an essential cofactor for decarboxylation reactions of the citric acid cycle, and acts as a general antioxidant. DL-α-lipoic acid can act as a direct radical scavenger, as a cofactor to regenerate reduced glutathione, and as a metal chelator. Chemical Properties Light-Yellow Solid Originator Neurium,Hexal Uses Lipoic acid [CAS: 1077-28-7] (6,8-dimercaptooctanoic acid), a lipophilic endogenous disulfide that can be reduced to the dithiol dihydrolipoic acid, protects against free-radical-mediated injury both in vivo and in vitro. Uses thioctic acid is also known as alpha lipoic acid. It is an anti-oxidant. Uses A fat-metabolism stimulator Uses (±)-α-Lipoic acid has been used in in vitro lipoylation studies and in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC)-pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDHK) functional assay. It has also been used to investigate its antioxidative effect on developing cerebellum of rats exposed to arsenic during postnatal period. Manufacturing Process To a suspension of 106 g of anhydrous aluminum chloride in 450 ml of carbontetrachloride is added dropwise, with vigorous stirring, 70 g of ethyl 8- chloroformylvalerate (H. Bergs, C. Wittfeld and H. Frank, Ber., 67B, 1622 (1947)). The temperature is maintained at 25°C. The cooling bath is removed and ethylene is passed in for a period of 2 hours. The reaction mixture is poured onto cracked ice, the organic layer separated, and the aqueous layer extracted with 200 ml of chloroform. The combined organic extracts are dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent removed in vacuo. The dark colored oil remaining, crude ethyl 8-chloro-6-oxooctanoate is distilled in vacuo through a 6 in. Vigreaux column. After small forerun, the main fraction, 48-54 g (72-80%), B.P. 112-114°C (2 mm.); n25 D1-4485, is collected. Redistilled thiolacetic acid (14.7 g) is cooled in an ice-bath and neutralized to the phenolphthalein end-point with a 10% solution of potassium hydroxide in ethanol (approximately 135 ml required). To this solution is added 29 g of ethyl-6,8-dibromooctanoate and the mixture is stirred and heated under reflux in an atmosphere of nitrogen for 5 hours. The reaction mixture, which contains ethyl 6,8-diacetyl-mercaptooctanoate, is cooled and 35 g of potassium hydroxide (85%) is added. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature in an atmosphere of nitrogen for 17 hours, then acidified (pH less than 1) with 6 N hydrochloric acid. Ethanol is removed in vacuo, sufficient water is added to dissolve the inorganic solids and the mixture is extracted with two 150 ml portions of chloroform. To the combined organic extracts, which contain 6,8-dimercaptooctanoic acid , is added 575 ml of chloroform and 210 ml of water. This mixture is stirred vigorously in an atmosphere of nitrogen While sufficient iodoform reagent (R. L. Shriner and R. C. Fuson, "Identification of Organic Compounds," 2nd. Ed., John Wiley and Sons, New York, N.Y., 1940, p. 53) is added dropwise during a 6 hour period to give a permanent brown color. Approximately 185 ml of iodoform reagent is required. The organic layer is separated, washed with 500 ml of 1% sodium thiosulfate solution, and then extracted with two 250 ml portions of 5% sodium bicarbonate solution. The aqueous extracts are acidified (pH less than 1) with 6 N hydrochloric acid and extarcted with two 125 ml portions of chloroform. The combined chloroform extracts are dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent is then removed in vacuo. The yellow viscous oil remaining solidifies when cooled and scratched. This solid material is extracted with three 300 ml portions of boiling Skelly B solvent (essentially nhexane). The combined extracts are seeded with crystalline DL-α-lipoic acid and allowed to stand at room temperature overnight and then in a refrigerator for several hours. Large yellow crystals separate, M.P. 60.5-61.5°C. The yield of product is 10.8-12.3 g (60-68%). 1,2-Dithiolane-3-pentanoic acid was recrystallized from Skelly B solvent, M.P. 61-62°C. Brand name Liposan;Thioactacid. Therapeutic Function Growth factor, Lipotropic, Detoxicant Synthesis Reference(s) Journal of the American Chemical Society, 79, p. 6483, 1957 DOI: 10.1021/ja01581a033 General Description Oxidized form. Has antioxidant properties. Growth factor for many bacteria and protozoa. Pharmaceutical Applications Lipoic acid(ALA), also known as α-lipoic acid (alpha-lipoic acid) or thioctic acid, has the formula C8H14S2O2 and systematic name 5-(1,2-dithiolan-3-yl)pentanoic acid. It contains a disulfide group, which can be transformed in the body to a dithiol group. ALA has been on the market since the 1950s as a dietary supplement. It is a natural antioxidant usually made by the body. The advantage of ALA over other antioxidants such as vitamin C and E is that it is soluble both in water and in fat. Researchers in the former Soviet Union found that ALA can chelate mercury once it is transformed into the dithiol-containing compound. ALA can penetrate both the blood–brain barrier and the cell membrane and therefore would be a very interesting chelating agent. Nevertheless, there is much debate about its mode of action, side effects and effectiveness. Other antidotes, such as BAL and DMSA, are more efficient in the removal of heavy metals. ALA has not received FDA approval as a chelating agent, but it is still sold as a food supplement. Biochem/physiol Actions Antioxidant and coenzyme needed for the activity of enzyme complexes such as those of pyruvate dehydrogenase and glycine decarboxylase. Exogenous thioctic acid is reduced intracellularly by two or more enzymes. The reduced form then influences a number of cell processes by direct radical scavenging, recycling of other antioxidants, increasing glutathione synthesis, and modulating transcription factor activity particularly that of NF-κB. Decreases the phagocytosis of myelin by macrophages. Purification Methods It forms yellow needles from cyclohexane or hexane and has been distilled at high vacuum; and sublimes at ~90o and very high vacuum. It is insoluble in H2O but dissolves in alkaline solution. [Lewis & Raphael J Chem Soc 4263 1962, Soper et al. J Am Chem Soc 76 4109, Reed & Niu J Am Chem Soc 77 416 1955, Tsuji et al.
