| Targets |
The primary target of Lipoamide is the mitochondrial dehydrogenase complexes. As a coenzyme, lipoamide is covalently bound to the enzyme and participates in the transfer of acyl groups and electrons. It also acts as a potent antioxidant, scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and regenerating other antioxidants, such as glutathione and vitamin C.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, lipoamide has been shown to be a potent antioxidant. It scavenges ROS and reduces oxidative stress in various cell types. It also enhances the activity of mitochondrial dehydrogenase complexes. In cell-based assays, lipoamide protects cells from oxidative damage and improves mitochondrial function.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, lipoamide has been studied for its potential therapeutic applications. It has been shown to have beneficial effects in animal models of diabetes, neuropathy, and neurodegenerative diseases. The compound is also used as a dietary supplement.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme or receptor binding (non-cell) assays for lipoamide involve measuring its antioxidant activity using cell-free assays such as DPPH radical scavenging or ABTS radical scavenging assays. Its ability to enhance the activity of dehydrogenase complexes can be measured using enzymatic assays with purified enzymes.

| Additional Infomation |
Lipoic acid amide is a monocarboxylic acid amide formed by the condensation of the carboxyl group of lipoic acid with ammonia. It is found in humans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Escherichia coli, and mice as a metabolite. It belongs to the dithiocyclopentane class of monocarboxylic acid amides and is functionally related to lipoic acid. Lipoic acid amide is a metabolite found or produced in Escherichia coli (K12 strain, MG1655 strain). It has been reported to exist in humans, Apis cerevisiae, and other organisms with relevant data. Lipoic acid amide is a metabolite found or produced in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Other information: Lipoamide is the amide derivative of lipoic acid, a coenzyme involved in mitochondrial energy metabolism. It is also known as DL-α-Lipoamide. The compound is a potent antioxidant used in research. Its CAS number is 940-69-2. |

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.38 mg/mL (11.59 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 23.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (10.13 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
