| Common Name | Pangamic acid |

| Description | Pangamic acid, also known as vitamin B15 or pangamate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha amino acid esters. These are ester derivatives of alpha amino acids. A review noted that of all the chemicals described in research about pangamic acid, "[n]ot a single product labeled "pangamate" or "B15" has been established in a scientifically verifiable manner to conform to the empiric formula" described by the Krebses. The United States Food and Drug Administration has recommended seizing any chemicals advertised as pangamic acid and restraining the importation and interstate shipment of pangamic acid on the grounds that pangamic acid and pangamic acid products are unsafe for use and have no known nutritional properties. Pangamic acid is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Outside of the human body, Pangamic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as apricots, cereals and cereal products, fruits, and rices. This could make pangamic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. The Krebses derived the term "pangamic" to describe this compound which they asserted to be ubiquitous and highly concentrated in seeds (pan meaning "universal" and gamic meaning "seed"). They also termed this chemical "Vitamin B15", though it is not a true vitamin, has no nutritional value, has no known use in the treatment of any disease and has been called a "quack remedy". Thus, "pangamic acid" is more a label used to describe one of any number of chemical compounds rather than a particular substance. Although a number of compounds labelled "pangamic acid" have been studied or sold, no chemical compound, including those claimed by the Krebses to be pangamic acid, has been scientifically verified to have the characteristics that defined the original description of the compound. A 1951 paper by the Krebses reported the first isolation of this compound using this patented process, but did not include enough information to confirm that this compound was actually isolated. Pangamic acid is found in Cicer arietinum. Afterwards, it was noted that GNC was still selling something in the same bottles with the same labels, likely a different compound. |
