REVIEW
 6,8-Bis(benzylthio)octanoic acid is an lipoic acid based anti-tumor agent, an E1a pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) modulator, that prevents cancer cells from metabolizing glucose for energy. Further, 6,8-Bis(benzylthio)octanoic acid shows strong antitumor activity in vivo against human non-small cell lung and pancreatic cancers in xenograft models with low side-effect toxicity.
