Generic Name
Ascorbic acid
Commonly known or available as Vitamin C
DrugBank Accession Number
DB00126
Background

A six carbon compound related to glucose. It is found naturally in citrus fruits and many vegetables. Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in human diets, and necessary to maintain connective tissue and bone. Its biologically active form, vitamin C, functions as a reducing agent and coenzyme in several metabolic pathways. Vitamin C is considered an antioxidant.

Pharmacodynamics

Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C) is a water-soluble vitamin indicated for the prevention and treatment of scurvy, as ascorbic acid deficiency results in scurvy. Collagenous structures are primarily affected, and lesions develop in bones and blood vessels. Administration of ascorbic acid completely reverses the symptoms of ascorbic acid deficiency.

Mechanism of action

In humans, an exogenous source of ascorbic acid is required for collagen formation and tissue repair by acting as a cofactor in the posttranslational formation of 4-hydroxyproline in -Xaa-Pro-Gly- sequences in collagens and other proteins. Ascorbic acid is reversibly oxidized to dehydroascorbic acid in the body. These two forms of the vitamin are believed to be important in oxidation-reduction reactions. The vitamin is involved in tyrosine metabolism, conversion of folic acid to folinic acid, carbohydrate metabolism, synthesis of lipids and proteins, iron metabolism, resistance to infections, and cellular respiration.

Metabolism

Hepatic. Ascorbic acid is reversibly oxidised (by removal of the hydrogen from the enediol group of ascorbic acid) to dehydroascorbic acid. The two forms found in body fluids are physiologically active. Some ascorbic acid is metabolized to inactive compounds including ascorbic acid-2-sulfate and oxalic acid.

interactions in your software
Aluminum hydroxide Ascorbic acid can cause an increase in the absorption of Aluminum hydroxide resulting in an increased serum concentration and potentially a worsening of adverse effects.
Amphetamine The serum concentration of Amphetamine can be decreased when it is combined with Ascorbic acid.
Benzphetamine The serum concentration of Benzphetamine can be decreased when it is combined with Ascorbic acid.
Bleomycin The therapeutic efficacy of Bleomycin can be decreased when used in combination with Ascorbic acid.
Bortezomib The therapeutic efficacy of Bortezomib can be decreased when used in combination with Ascorbic acid.
Chlorpropamide Ascorbic acid may decrease the excretion rate of Chlorpropamide which could result in a higher serum level.
Conjugated estrogens The serum concentration of Ascorbic acid can be decreased when it is combined with Conjugated estrogens.
Cyclosporine The serum concentration of Cyclosporine can be decreased when it is combined with Ascorbic acid.
Deferoxamine The risk or severity of Cardiovascular Impairment can be increased when Ascorbic acid is combined with Deferoxamine.
Dextroamphetamine The serum concentration of Dextroamphetamine can be decreased when it is combined with Ascorbic acid.

Cleavage

DNA is the molecule of heredity, as it is responsible for the genetic propagation of most inherited traits. It is a polynucleic acid that carries genetic information on cell growth, division, and function. DNA consists of two long strands of nucleotides twisted into a double helix and held together by hydrogen bonds. The sequence of nucleotides determines hereditary characteristics. Each strand serves as the template for subsequent DNA replication and as a template for mRNA production, leading to protein synthesis via ribosomes.
