Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of stable ammonium a-liponate salts for the treatment of a series of disease states, in particular, diabetic disorders and disorders of diabetic origin. The salts (Lp) (A) are formed from a-liponic acid (Lp) and ammonium compounds (A) of general formula (II) or (III). Further application of the salts are related to the treatment of cardiovascular disorders, neurodegenerative disorders and diseases related to chronic kidney failure and/or dialysis treatment, retinopathies, nephropathies, proteinurias, hyperlipidaemias, hypertriglyceridaemias, hypercholesterinaemias, proliferations of smooth muscle cells in arteries, collagenoses, arthritis, fibromyalgias, kidney stones, inflammation, cancer, amyloidoses, osteoporoses, excess weight and obesity, HIV infections and AIDS, metabolic syndrome, oxidative stress and related diseases and the aging process.
Abstract:
The invention relates to ammonium salts of alpha-liponic acid of general formula (I): (Lp) (A), formed from alpha-liponic acid (Lp) and amino compounds (A)=of general formula (II) or general formula (III). The invention also relates to a method for producing said salts, and to the use of said salts as constituents in pharmaceutical, dermatological and cosmetic agents, foodstuffs, animal feed supplements or food supplements. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical, dermatological and cosmetic agents, foodstuffs, animal feed supplements or food supplements in which the inventive salts are used.
