Use
Lipoic acid(ALA), also known as α-lipoic acid (alpha-lipoic acid) or thioctic acid, has the formula C8H14S2O2 and
systematic name 5-(1,2-dithiolan-3-yl)pentanoic acid. It contains a disulfide group, which can be transformed
in the body to a dithiol group.
ALA has been on the market since the 1950s as a dietary supplement. It is a natural antioxidant usually
made by the body. The advantage of ALA over other antioxidants such as vitamin C and E is that it is soluble
both in water and in fat. Researchers in the former Soviet Union found that ALA can chelate mercury
once it is transformed into the dithiol-containing compound. ALA can penetrate both the blood–brain barrier
and the cell membrane and therefore would be a very interesting chelating agent. Nevertheless, there is much
debate about its mode of action, side effects and effectiveness. Other antidotes, such as BAL and DMSA, are
more efficient in the removal of heavy metals. ALA has not received FDA approval as a chelating agent, but
it is still sold as a food supplement.
