Description

Ascorbyl palmitate is an ester of ascorbic acid and palmitic acid. It is a water-soluble antioxidant that has been shown to be safe for oral ingestion at doses of up to 3 grams per day. Ascorbyl palmitate is used in topical formulations to provide protection against sun damage, and also has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may be due to its inhibitory effect on the mcl-1 protein. Ascorbyl palmitate has a phase transition temperature at about 41°C. This compound can be used in pharmaceuticals for the treatment of infectious diseases caused by bacteria such as tuberculosis or herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). This chemical also has been shown to have physiological effects on bowel disease and toxicity studies show that it does not cause any adverse reactions in rats or rabbits when given orally.
