The reaction of dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) with 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (juglone) gives rise to the novel naphtho[1,4]dithiepine derivatives through ring expansion of an unstable spirocyclic 1,3-dithiane intermediate, which was isolated and completely characterized. Reported herein is also the characterization of novel reaction products of DHLA with other naphthoquinones and the extension of the study to the spirocyclic adduct formed by reaction with a representative 2-substituted naphthoquinone.

Nambu, Yoko,Endo, Takeshi
, p. 999 - 1002 (1985)
Kinetic resolution of racemic N-hydroxyamino acids by the reduction with optically active thiols and a catalytic amount of ferrous ion gave optically active amino acids presumably through enantiodifferentiating coordination of substrates to thiol-Fe(II) complexes.

Lipoic acid, the biomolecule of vital importance following glycolysis, shows diversity in its thiol/disulfide equilibria and also in its eight different protonation forms of the reduced molecule. In this paper, lipoic acid, lipoamide, and their dihydro derivatives were studied to quantify their solubility, acid–base, and lipophilicity properties at a submolecular level. The acid–base properties are characterized in terms of six macroscopic, 12 microscopic protonation constants, and three interactivity parameters. The species-specific basicities, the pH-dependent distribution of the microspecies, and lipophilicity parameters are interpreted by various intramolecular effects, and contribute to understanding the antioxidant, chelate-forming, and enzyme cofactor behavior of the molecules observed.

Silver nanoclusters (NCs) capped with enantiomeric bidentate ligands exhibited mirror image circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) spectra with an anisotropy factor of 0.2%. Chirality in the ligand staples is most likely responsible for the induction of optical activity in the emissive state.

Paragraph 0020, (2017/11/30)
The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical pharmaceuticals and in particular relates to shikonin thioctic ester derivatives and an application thereof in tumor suppression. Corresponding thioctic ester derivatives are connected with shikonin through synthetic means so as to obtain corresponding ester derivatives. In-vitro anti-tumor activity study proves that the shikonin thioctic ester derivatives have excellent inhibitory activities on tumor cell strains.
METHOD FOR THE PURIFICATION OF LIPONIC ACID
-
Page/Page column 4-5, (2008/06/13)
The invention relates to a method for the purification of liponic acid wherein at least O.1 times the amount of an adsorption agent is added to a solution of liponic acid in relation to the mass of liponic acid to be purified and the adsorption agent is then separated. As a result, it is possible to produce racemic or non-racemic liponic acid with less than 1 wt. % oligomers, e.g. 0.11 wt. %.
A short and productive synthesis of (R)-α-Lipoic acid
Bringmann, Gerhard,Herzberg, Daniela,Adam, Geo,Balkenhohl, Friedhelm,Paust, Joachim
, p. 655 - 661 (2007/10/03)
(R)-α-Lipoic acid is synthesized in seven steps from the base chemicals methyl acetoacetate or Meldrum's acid and monomethyl adipate. The key steps are the introduction of the stereogenic center by fermentative or homogeneously catalyzed hydrogenation of 3-oxooctanedioic acid diester to (3S)-3-hydroxyoctanedioic acid diester and its regioselective reduction to (6S)-6,8-dihydroxyoctanoic acid ester. The overall yield of (R)-α-lipoic acid, starting from 3-oxooctanedioic acid diester, is 40%.
Lipase catalyzed regio- and stereospecific hydrolysis: Chemoenzymatic synthesis of both (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of α-lipoic acid

, p. 4109 - 4112 (2007/10/03)
Native lipase of Candida rugosa (EC 3.1.1.3) enantioselectively and regiospecifically hydrolyses the n-butyl ester of 2,4-dithioacetyl butanoic acid either at the carboxylic acid terminus or at the α-thioacetate to provide enantiomerically pure (R)-2,4-dithioacetyl butyric acid and (S)- butyl 2-thio-4-thioacetyl butyrate (ee >98%) while the lipase modified by treatment with diethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate attacks only the α- thioacetate giving enantiomerically pure (S)-butyl 2-thio-4-thioacetyl butyrate. These enantiomerically pure intermediates can be used as chiral building blocks to obtain both(S)- and (R)-enantiomers of α-lipoic acid and their analogues.
Interaction of α-Lipoic acid Enantiomers and Homologues with the Enzyme Components of the Mammalian Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex

Lipoic acid (α-lipoic acid, thioctic acid) is applied as a therapeutic agent in various diseases accompanied by polyneuropathia such as diabetes mellitus. The stereoselectivity and specificity of lipoic acid for the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and its component enzymes from different sources has been studied. The dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase component from pig heart has a clear preference for R-lipoic acid, a substrate which reacts 24 times faster than the S-enantiomer. Selectivity is more at the stage of the catalytic reaction than of binding. The Michaelis constants of both enantiomers are comparable (Km = 3.7 and 5.5 mM for R- and S-lipoic acid, respectively) and the S-enantiomer inhibits the R-lipoic acid dependent reaction with an inhibition constant similar to its Michaelis constant. When three lipoic acid homologues were tested, RS-1,2-dithiolane-3-caproic acid was one carbon atom longer than lipoic acid, while RS-bisnorlipoic acid and RS-tetranorlipoic acid were two and four carbon atoms shorter, respectively. All are poor substrates but bind to and inhibit the enzyme with an affinity similar to that of S-lipoic acid. No essential differences with respect to its reaction with lipoic acid enantiomers and homologues exist between free and complex-bound dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase. Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase from human renal carcinoma has a higher Michaelis constant for R-lipoic acid (Km = 18 mM) and does not accept the S-enantiomer as a substrate. Both enantiomers of lipoic acid are inhibitors of the overall reaction of the bovine pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, but stimulate the respective enzyme complexes from rat as well as from Escherichia coli. The S-enantiomer is the stronger inhibitor, the R-enantiomer the better activator. The two enantiomers have no influence on the partial reaction of the bovine pyruvate dehydrogenase component, but do inhibit this enzyme component from rat kidney. The implications of these results are discussed.
