PHARMACODYNAMICS
Ascorbic acid, coupled with dehydroascorbic acid to which it is
reversibly oxidised, has a variety of functions in
cellular oxidation processes. Ascorbic acid is required in several
important hydroxylations, including the
conversion of proline to hydroxyproline (and thus in collagen
formation e.g. for intercellular substances and
during wound healing); the formation of the neurotransmitters
5-hydroxytryptamine from tryptophan and
noradrenaline from dopamine, and the biosynthesis of carnitine from
lysine and methionine. Ascorbic acid appears
to have an important role in metal ion metabolism, including the
gastrointestinal absorption of iron and its
transport between plasma and storage organs. There is evidence that
ascorbic acid is required for normal leucocyte
functions and that it participates in the detoxification of numerous
foreign substances by the hepatic microsomal
system. Deficiency of ascorbic acid leads to scurvy, which may be
manifested by weakness, fatigue, dyspnoea,
aching bones, perifollicular hyperkeratosis, petechia and ecchymosis,
swelling and bleeding of the gums,
hypochromic anaemia and other haematopoietic disorders, together with
reduced resistance to infections and
impaired wound healing.
PHARMACOKINETICS
Absorption
Ascorbic acid is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Distribution
Ascorbic acid is widely distributed to all tissues. Body stores of
ascorbic acid normally are about 1.5g. The
concentration is higher in leucocytes and platelets than in
erythrocytes and plasma.
Elimination
Ascorbic acid additional to the body's needs, generally amounts above
200mg daily, is rapidly eliminated;
unmetabolised ascorbi
