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
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

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
Although considerable effort has been directed toward the mapping of peptide epitopes by autoantibodies, the role of nonprotein molecules has been less well studied. The immunodominant autoantigen in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), E2 components of pyruvate dehydrogenase complexes (PDC-E2), has
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
