α-Lipoic Acid Derivative 1 (Compound AN-7) is an α-lipoic acid derivative that enhances glucose transport in skeletal muscle by releasing active α-lipoic acid (LA), significantly improving glucose metabolism. In L6 skeletal muscle cells, α-Lipoic Acid Derivative 1 significantly increases glucose transport rates, approximately 12 times more potent than the parent compound α-lipoic acid. In a mild diabetic mouse model, 10 mg/kg of α-Lipoic Acid Derivative 1 administered for two weeks significantly reduced blood glucose levels by 39%. α-Lipoic Acid Derivative 1 shows significant potential in research related to glucose metabolism in diabetes.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
