'''Lipoamide''' is a trivial name for 6,8-dithiooctanoic amide. It is the functional form of lipoic acid, i.e the carboxyl group is attached to protein via an amine with an amide linkage.<ref name=hmdb>{{Cite web | url =http://www.hmdb.ca/metabolites/HMDB0000962 | title = Metabocard for Lipoamide |date=14 September 2021| work =Human Metabolome Database|access-date=30 November 2022|id=HMDB0000962}}</ref> Illustrative of the biochemical role of lipoamide is in the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl lipoamide.<ref name=Berg>{{cite book|title=Biochemistry|author= J.
