Application

Precursor in the biosynthesis of coenzyme A.

Biochem/physiol Actions

D-Panthenol is the alcohol analogue and biological precursor of D-pantothenic acid. These analogues are precursors in the biosynthesis of coenzyme A. D-Panthenol and D-Pantothenic acid are used in a variety of skin protection products. D-pantothenic acid may have a role in controlling keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation. D-Panthenol may be used for studies of skin protection emulsions from UV irradiation and as a humectant.

Physical properties

Due to the unstable, hygroscopic nature of the free acid, the calcium salt is employed.

Michael Habig et al.
Journal of biomolecular screening, 14(6), 679-689 (2009-05-28)
High-throughput screening often identifies not only specific, stoichiometrically binding inhibitors but also undesired compounds that unspecifically interfere with the targeted activity by nonstoichiometrically binding, unfolding, and/or inactivating proteins. In this study, the effect of such unwanted inhibitors on several different

The in vitro absorption of panthenol into and through the human nail was examined in this study. Panthenol, the alcohol form of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), is believed to act as a humectant and improve the flexibility and strength of

It has been reported that pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and panthenol, an alcohol derivative of pantothenic acid, have beneficial moisturizing effects on the skin. However, few studies have investigated the mechanism of action of pantothenic acid on skin tissues. We

To investigate the effect of cell growth-stimulating agents on human epidermal keratinocytes, we exposed monolayers of normal human keratinocytes derived from foreskin to different concentrations of the amino acid L-cystine, the member of the vitamin B family D-pantothenat, the phytosterol
