Calcium D-Pantothenate is a vitamin that serves as a precursor to coenzyme A (CoA) and acyl carrier protein. As a component of CoA, it is essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. CoA is involved in the citric acid cycle and fatty acid synthesis. As a component of acyl carrier protein, it is involved in the synthesis of fatty acids. By providing pantothenic acid, the compound supports numerous metabolic pathways essential for energy production and the synthesis of important biomolecules.

| ln Vitro |
Pantothenic acid increases mainly the content of free glutathione, with little effect on protein-boundglutathione in human lymphoblastoic (Jurkat) cells. Pantothenic acid also increases cell respiration with pyruvate as the exogenous substrate. Pantothenic acid belongs to vitamin B group and is the building stone of coenzyme A. Pantothenic acid can be therefore infer that its beneficial effect in various kinds of cell damage by ROS is related to the increased content or stimulated biosynthesis of this coenzyme. Pantothenic acid increases the glutathione content by more than 50% and increases the GSH/GSSG ratio by approximately the same factor. Pantothenic acid and N-acetylcysteine alleviates the ultraviolet-induced decrease of glutathione content, diminished lipid peroxidation, and partly protects the cells against apoptosisproduced by ultraviolet irradiation.
Cell Assay: Pantothenic acid (1 mM) increased biosynthesis of glutathione by boosting cell energetic in Jurkat cells. In addition, pantothenic acid (1 mM) protected against oxidative damage and apoptosis in Ehrlich ascites tumour cells. In vitro, Calcium D-Pantothenate is used as a source of pantothenic acid in cell culture media. Pantothenic acid is essential for the growth and proliferation of many cell types. It is a component of CoA, which is required for numerous metabolic reactions. Cell-based assays can be used to study the effects of pantothenic acid deficiency and supplementation on cellular metabolism and function. |
| ln Vivo |
Pantothenic acid-treated rats exhibited higher basal levels of corticosterone and progesterone than control rats in Adrenal cells. The response of ACTH and/or PRL on corticosterone and progesterone release is higher in the pantothenic acid-treated rats than in the control rats. Pantothenic acid supplementation stimulates the ability of adrenal cells in male rats to secrete corticosterone and progesterone. Pantothenic acid supplementation induces adrenalhyperresponsiveness to ACTH stimulation, and PRL further stimulated adrenal sensitivity to ACTH. Pantothenic acid prior to valproic acid (VPA) significantly protects against VPA-induced neural tube defects (NTDs) in CD-1mice. Pantothenic acid prevents VPA-induced alterations in NF-kappaB, Pim-1, and c-Myb in CD-1 mice. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular assays for Calcium D-Pantothenate typically involve its use as a nutrient in microbiological assays. For example, it can be used to support the growth of specific microorganisms, and the degree of growth can be used to quantify the pantothenic acid content in a sample. These assays are based on the essential role of pantothenic acid in microbial metabolism.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays for Calcium D-Pantothenate are used to study its role in cellular metabolism. Cell culture media often contain pantothenic acid as an essential nutrient. Experiments can be designed to deplete cells of pantothenic acid and then study the effects of its re-addition on cell growth, metabolism, and gene expression. These studies help to elucidate the role of CoA and pantothenic acid in cellular function.

| Animal Protocol |
3.39-10.54 mg/kg, diets | Pantothenic acid (200 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injections) completely blocked valproic acid-induced neural tube defects and the decreases in c-Myb and Pim-1 protein expression in CD-1 mice. Moreover, Calcium D-pantothenate (3.39-10.54 mg/kg, diets) increased the intestinal enzymes activities and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels.
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Calcium D-Pantothenate is an orally available nutrient. It has a molecular weight of 476.53 g/mol. It is well-absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is distributed throughout the body. It is converted to CoA in cells. Excess pantothenic acid is excreted in the urine. Its pharmacokinetics are well-characterized as a normal nutrient.

| Additional Infomation |
Calcium pantothenate is a polymer. It is a water-soluble calcium salt of vitamin B5, widely found in animal and plant tissues, and possesses antioxidant properties. Pantothenate is a component of coenzyme A (CoA) and also part of the vitamin B2 complex. Vitamin B5 is a growth factor essential for various metabolic functions, including the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fatty acids. This vitamin also participates in the synthesis of cholesterol, lipids, neurotransmitters, steroid hormones, and hemoglobin. Butyryl-β-alanine can also be considered a complex of pantothenate and β-alanine. It is integrated into coenzyme A and protects cells from oxidative damage by increasing glutathione levels.
Calcium D-Pantothenate is the calcium salt of vitamin B5, an essential nutrient. It is a precursor to coenzyme A, which is critical for energy metabolism and the synthesis of fatty acids and other biomolecules. It is used as a dietary supplement to prevent or treat deficiency and is generally recognized as safe. Calcium D-Pantothenate is not a drug but a nutrient. |
