Diisopropylamine Dichloroacetate: An Active Component of Pangamic Acid (Once Called "Vitamin B15")
Diisopropylamine dichloroacetate (abbrev.: DADA or DIPA) is an active component of pangamic acid (once called "vitamin B
15") which was first isolated from apricot seeds by Krebs
et al. in 1951. In 1958, Casu
et al. revealed that pangamic acid is a mixture of DADA, sodium gluconate [
G0041] and glycine [
G0099]. And then, DADA has received attention for its pharmacologic and therapeutic effects, especially on hepatic function. (The product is for research purpose only.)
