Calcium D-Panthotenate, also named vitamin B5 Calcium, is a water-soluble vitamin for many animals [1, 2]. Pantothenic acid participates in a number of intermediary metabolic reactions as a component of coenzyme A (CoA). It has been reported that pantothenic acid exhibits radioprotective and antioxidative effects and pantothenic acid has the potential to protect against cell damage produced by reactive oxygen species [3].

In vitro: Pantothenic acid (1 mM) increased biosynthesis of glutathione by boosting cell energetic in Jurkat cells [3]. In addition, pantothenic acid (1 mM) protected against oxidative damage and apoptosis in Ehrlich ascites tumour cells [4].

In vivo: Pantothenic acid (200 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injections) completely blocked valproic acid-induced neural tube defects and the decreases in c-Myb and Pim-1 protein expression in CD-1 mice [1]. Moreover, Calcium D-pantothenate (3.39-10.54 mg/kg, diets) increased the intestinal enzymes activities and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels [2].
