2-O-a-D-glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic acid, generally known as ascorbyl glucoside, is a relatively novel compound and is a stable vitamin C derivative. Over a long period of time, it gradually is converted into ascorbic acid.[1][2] 2-O-a-D-Glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic Acid is derived from L-ascorbic acid and alpha-glucosyl donor saccharide, in the presence of alpha-isomaltosylglucosaccharide producing enzyme.[3] 2-O-a-D-Glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic acid has been used to develop an in vitro 3D model of the stromal-nerve interactions of the human cornea. 2-O-a-D-glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic acid or ascorbyl glucoside functions as a skin whitener and radical scavenger in cosmetics. It is responsible for the bleaching action of bleaching cosmetics.[1] This compound is activated in a manner identical to that of vitamin C. The enzyme present in the epidermal basal membrane, ascorbyl phosphatase, slowly converts 2-O-a-D-glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic acid into vitamin C, thereby maintaining a high vitamin C level in skin throughout the day.[2] Synonyms: Ascorbic acid 2-glucoside, Ascorbyl glucoside CAS No: 129499-78-1 Molecular Formula: C12H18O11 Molecular Weight: 338.26 Purity: 99.5% Appearance: White to off-white powder Loss on Drying: 0.5% Melting Point: As reported Specific Optical Rotation: As reported Storage and Stability: Powder is stable for 6 months after receipt at 4C.
