Description

Dexpanthenol belongs to a derivative of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5). It can penetrate the skin and mucous membrane to be quickly oxidized to pantothenic acid. The later one is extremely hygroscopic and binds water effectively. Therefore, Dexpanthenol can be used as a moisturizer. It is added to pharmaceutical and cosmetic products to relieve itching and improve wound healing. In ointments, it can be used for the treatment of sunburns, mild burns, minor skin injuries and disorders. It is also immediately applied after major abdominal surgery to minimize the possibility of paralytic ileus. In addition, it can also be supplemented into the commercial shampoos and hair conditioners to lubricate the hair shaft and give the hair a shiny appearance. The exact mechanism of action of Dexpanthenol is still unclear, perhaps through its enhancing effect on acetylcholine.


clear colorless to slightly yellow viscous liquid


ChEBI: Pantothenol is a monocarboxylic acid amide that is 3,3-dimethylbutanamide substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 2 and 4 and a 3-hydroxypropyl group at the carbomyl nitrogen. It has a role as a cholinergic drug and a provitamin. It is an amino alcohol and a monocarboxylic acid amide.


Dexpanthenol is an alcohol analog of pantothenic acid and an important component of parenterals, local cosmetic preparations and multi-vitamins. It has as much biological activity as pantothenic acid and is found to be stable in aqueous solution.Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.


Moderately toxic by intravenous route. A skin and eye irritant. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also AMIDES.

Pan(to)thenol is the alcohol corresponding to pantothenic acid, of the vitamin B5 group. It is used as a food additive, and in skin and hair products as a conditioning agent. Contact dermatitis and urticaria have been reported.

Dexpanthenol Use and Manufacturing

Dexpanthenol may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations by various chromatography techniques as well as partial least-squares multivariate calibration.


cholinergic


D-Panthenol is an analogue of pantothenic acid (P190300), a member of the B complex vitamins. D-Panthenol is the biologically active enantiomer of Panthenol.
