L-Ascorbic acid

Description

Ascorbic acid, also known as acide ascorbique or L-ascorbate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as butenolides. These are dihydrofurans with a carbonyl group at the C2 carbon atom. Ascorbic acid is a drug which is used to treat vitamin c deficiency, scurvy, delayed wound and bone healing, urine acidification, and in general as an antioxidant. it has also been suggested to be an effective antiviral agent. Ascorbic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). dopamine and ascorbic acid can be converted into norepinephrine and dehydroascorbic acid through the action of the enzyme dopamine beta-hydroxylase. In humans, ascorbic acid is involved in the metabolic disorder called tyrosinemia, transient, of the newborn. Ascorbic acid is a very mild and grassy tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Ascorbic acid is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as acerola, pepper (c. frutescens), and orange bell peppers and in a lower concentration in yogurts, yardlong beans, and peanuts. Ascorbic acid has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as deerberries, cetacea (dolphin, porpoise, whale), acorns, lemon balms, and gelatins. This could make ascorbic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. The L-enantiomer of ascorbic acid and conjugate acid of L-ascorbate.

immunostimulant	50847	A substance that augments, stimulates, activates, potentiates, or modulates the immune response at either the cellular or humoral level. A classical agent (Freund's adjuvant, BCG, Corynebacterium parvum, et al.) contains bacterial antigens. It could also be endogenous (e.g., histamine, interferon, transfer factor, tuftsin, interleukin-1). Its mode of action is either non-specific, resulting in increased immune responsiveness to a wide variety of antigens, or antigen-specific, i.e., affecting a restricted type of immune response to a narrow group of antigens. The therapeutic efficacy is related to its antigen-specific immunoadjuvanticity.	DUKE
interferonogenic			DUKE
lithogenic			DUKE
mucolytic	77034	A compound that alters the structure of mucus so as to decrease its viscosity and thereby facilitate its removal by ciliary action and expectoration. Compare with antitussives, which suppress the cough reflex, and expectorants, which are considered to increase the volume of secretions in the respiratory tract, so facilitating their removal by ciliary action and coughing.
