Lipoamide
Based on 10 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Lipoamide ((±)-α-Lipoamide) is a monocarboxylic acid derivative of a neutral amide, formed by the condensation of the carboxyl group of lipoic acid and ammonia. Lipoamide protects against oxidative stress-mediated neuronal cell damage and also acts as a coenzyme to transfer acetyl groups and hydrogen during pyruvate deacylation. Lipoamide also stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis in adipocytes through the endothelial NO synthase-cGMP-protein kinase G signaling pathway.

Lipoamide (10-100 μM; 24 h) can reduce H2O2 or 6-OHDA-induced PC12 cell damage and apoptosis, reduce LDH leakage and Caspase-3 activity[2].
Lipoamide (100 μM; 8 h) also upregulates the expression of Nrf2 in PC12 cells, promotes the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 and downstream gene expression, such as inducing the transcription of Nrf2-regulated antioxidant genes[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

For in vitro experiments, NRK-52E cells were cultured in NG (5.5 mmol/L) and HG (35 mmol/L) medium and treated with different concentrations of Lipoamide (10, 50, 100 and 200 μmol/L) for 48 h. High glucose increased the expression of Col-III and Vimentin, and decreased the expression of E-cadherin in renal tubular epithelial cells. After Lipoamide intervention, Col-III and Vimentin levels were decreased while E-cadherin level was increased, showing a dose-dependent effect.
