d-pantothenic acid sodium

D-Pantothenic acid sodium (vitamin B5 sodium) , the sodium salt of D-pantothenate, is a derivative of vitamin B5 which is an an essential nutrient and plays important roles in the oxidation of fats and carbohydrates and certain amino acids.

D-Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is a water-soluble vitamin ubiquitously found in plants and animal tissues with an antioxidant property. D-Pantothenic acid is a component of coenzyme A (CoA) and a part of the vitamin B2 complex. D-Pantothenic acid is a growth factor and is essential for various metabolic functions, including the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fatty acids. This vitamin is also involved in the synthesis of cholesterol, lipids, neurotransmitters, steroid hormones, and hemoglobin.

D-Pantothenic acid hemicalcium salt (Calcium pantothenate), a kind of water soluble vitamin, can reduce the patulin content of the apple juice.

(±)-Pantothenic acid ((±)-Pantothenate), a B-vitamin, is crucial for coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthesis in mammalian cells and protects against valproic acid (VPA)-induced neural tube defects (NTD) in CD-1 mice [1].
