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.^[1] Illustrative of the biochemical role of lipoamide is in the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl lipoamide.^[2]

Lipoamide itself is not naturally occurring.
