As a powerful natural antioxidant, lipoic acid exerts significant antioxidant activities in vivo and in vitro by deactivation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. In this study we present a novel synergistic interaction of lipoic acid with other endogenous or exogenous antioxidants. Antioxidants vitamins C and E analogue (Trolox C) and hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives were found to recycle lipoic acid by donating electrons to lipoic acid radical cations, thereby increasing the antioxidant capacity of lipoic acid in vivo and in vitro. The rate constant of the electron transfer is in the order 109dm3mol−1s−1, close to the diffusion-controlled limit, and transfer quantum yield is above 95%.
