Vitamin B-5, officially recognized in drug and nutritional terminology as pantothenic acid or its salt forms such as dexpanthenol and calcium pantothenate, is a specific water-soluble nutrient rather than a standalone therapeutic drug class.
It functions biochemically as an essential precursor for the synthesis of coenzyme A and acyl carrier protein, which are critical for intermediary metabolism, including fatty acid synthesis and cellular energy production.
Therapeutically, agents containing this nutrient are utilized within the broader class of water-soluble vitamins primarily for nutritional supplementation, total parenteral nutrition, and the prevention or correction of nutritional deficiency.
Derivative forms, such as topical dexpanthenol, are also used in dermatology as skin-conditioning emollients to support epithelialization and skin barrier repair.
