The coupling of two different pharmacophores, each endowed with different biological properties, afforded the hybrid compound lipocrine (7), whose biological profile was markedly improved relative to those of prototypes tacrine and lipoic acid. Lipocrine is the first compound that inhibits

To combine in the same molecule alpha(1)-adrenoreceptor blocking and antioxidant properties, compounds 2-5 were designed and synthesized. All compounds were effective alpha(1)-adrenoreceptor antagonists and were tested in both functional and binding assays. In addition, compounds 2 and 5 also displayed
Alpha-lipoic acid is a naturally occurring cofactor of mitochondrial dehydrogenase complexes and a potent antioxidant. It can interchange between a reduced form and an oxidized form, thereby displaying reducing (antioxidant) and prooxidant properties, respectively. It is suggested that alpha-lipoic acid
Strychnine, a potent antagonist of glycine was given to twins suffering from nonketotic hyperglycinemia at age 73 hours. Within hours of the onset of treatment favorable effects were observed such as improvements of muscle tone, movements, defense reactions, and probably

There is evidence for an association between oxidative stress and insulin resistance, possibly due to downregulation of insulin signaling. This review will address the hypothesis that exercise training and the antioxidant R-(+)-lipoic acid interact at the level of insulin signaling
