Niacin has been widely used as an antihyperlipidemic drug, but the flushing effect restricted its clinical application. Here, we developed novel niacin-lipoic acid dimers which lead to better lipid modulation, higher synergistic effects and less side effects. We utilized molecular docking simulation to design a novel series of niacin-lipoic acid dimers. The compound N-(2-(5-(1,2-dithiolan-3-yl)pentan
