Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Erythorbic acid is readily absorbed and metabolized. Following an oral dose of 500 mg of erythorbic acid to human subjects the blood level curves for ascorbic acid and erythorbic acid showed a similar rise. In five human subjects, an oral dose of 300 mg was shown to have no effect on urinary excretion of ascorbic acid. In hamster, rat and rabbit, for which ascorbate is not an essential vitamin, intestinal absorption of L-ascorbic acid is low and takes place by passive diffusion; conversely, in guinea pig and human, ascorbate absorption is mediated by a saturable, sodium- dependent, active transport mechanism. It follows that the former species are not suitable models for human absorption. Since the active transport system is saturable but since passive diffusion might also be significant at high dose levels, the absorption of ascorbic acid is dose dependent. Erythorbic acid appears to be another but much poorer substrate for the same transport system and may thus act as a weak competitive inhibitor of L-ascorbate uptake. In studies using isolated brush border vesicles from guinea pig ileum, the K1 has variously been estimated at about 11 mM and around 20 mM; this compares with an apparent Km for ascorbate uptake of about 0.3 mM in the same system. The reason for lack of a stronger antiscorbutic action of erythorbic acid is probably the incapacity of the tissues to retain it in the quantities that ascorbic acid is stored. The absorption of erythorbic acid through the human buccal mucosa was studied in healthy adult subjects. Absorption of a solution of 10 mM erythorbic acid, buffered to pH 6, was 13.0 +/- 0.74 umol/5 minutes. No statistical difference was found between the absorptions of Erythorbic Acid and L-ascorbic acid.

Biological Half-Life In dogs, this resulted in a half-life of approximately 30 minutes for erythorbic acid in the plasma. |

Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Interactions
The modifying effects of 3 antioxidants, sodium L-ascorbate (SA), ascorbic acid (AA) and sodium erythorbate (SE) on two-stage gastric carcinogenesis in F344 rats initiated with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) were investigated. Administration of 5% SE in the diet significantly decreased the incidence of dysplasia of the pylorus and, more marginally the incidence of papilloma of the forestomach, whereas administration of 5% and 1% SA and 5% AA in the diet was not associated with effect. These results suggest that SE exerts a weak inhibitory effect on gastric carcinogenesis. /Sodium erythorbate/ The marked azotemia & other evidence of renal damage induced in rats & dogs by rapid iv admin of tetracycline-HCl (50 mg/kg) was prevented by concomitant admin of ascorbic acid (125 mg/kg or more). D-isoascorbic acid had a similar effect when tested in rats. Non-Human Toxicity Values LD50 Mouse oral 8.3 g/kg LD50 Rat oral 18.0 g/kg |
Additional Infomation |
D-isoascorbic acid is an ascorbic acid.
Erythorbic acid has been reported in Hypsizygus marmoreus, Grifola frondosa, and other organisms with data available. Therapeutic Uses Erythorbic acid is a stereoisomer of l-ascorbic acid, and is used as an antioxidant in foods and oral pharmaceutical formulations. It has approximately 5% of the vitamin C activity of l-ascorbic acid. |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
