Metabolite Identification
Common NameThioctic acid
Descriptionlipoate, also known as lipoic acid or alpha-lipoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as lipoic acids and derivatives. Lipoic acids and derivatives are compounds containing a lipoic acid moiety (or a derivative thereof), which consists of a pentanoic acid (or derivative) attached to the C3 carbon atom of a 1,2-dithiolane ring. lipoate exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, lipoate is involved in the metabolic disorder called the glutaminolysis and cancer pathway. lipoate has been detected, but not quantified in, broccolis (Brassica oleracea var. italica) and spinaches (Spinacia oleracea). This could make lipoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. lipoate is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on lipoate. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Thioctic acid is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Thioctic acid is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
