pantethine

Also known as D-pantethine, N-[2-[2-[2-[3-[(2,4-dihydroxy-3,3-dimethyl-butanoyl)amino]propanoylamino]ethyldisulfanyl]ethylcarbamoyl]ethyl]-2,4-dihydroxy-3,3-dimethyl-butanamide, Pantomin, D-Bis(N-pantothenyl-beta-aminoethyl) disulfide, (R-(R*,R*))-N,N'-(Dithiobis(ethyleneimino(3-oxopropane-3,1-diyl)))bis(2,4-dihydroxy-3,3-dimethylbutyramide), Bis(pantothenamidoethyl) disulfide, Pantetina

Pantethine (bis-pantethine or co-enzyme pantethine) is a dimeric form of pantetheine, which is produced from pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) by the addition of cysteamine. Pantethine was discovered by Gene Brown, a PhD student at the time. Pantethine is two molecules of pantetheine linked by a disulfide bridge. Pantetheine is an intermediate in the production of coenzyme A by the body. Most vitamin B5 supplements are in the form of calcium pantothenate, a salt of pantothenic acid, with doses in the range of 5 to 10 mg/day. In contrast, pantethine is sold as a dietary supplement for lowering
