Dihydrolipoic Acid,cas:462-20-4

Dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA)(C8H16O2S2,208.3) is a dithiol-containing carboxylic acid that is the reduced form of α-lipoic acid . It acts as a general antioxidant that is highly reactive against a variety of reactive oxygen species, including hydroxyl radicals, peroxynitirite, hydrogen peroxide, and hypochlorite, at concentrations ranging from 0.01-0.5 mM. At concentrations of 50-100 µM, DHLA triggers apoptosis of mouse embryonic stem cells and human cancer cells, suppressing proliferation.
