Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate

동의어: SAP, Sodium L-ascorbyl-2-phosphate, Ascorbyl phosphate sodium salt, L-Ascorbic acid 2-phosphate sodium salt, 66170-10-3

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP) is a water-soluble derivative of vitamin C, engineered to overcome the stability limitations of L-ascorbic acid. The molecule carries a phosphate group at the C-2 position of the ascorbic acid ring, which blocks the primary oxidative degradation pathway and renders the compound resistant to air, light, and heat. This structural modification also imparts high water solubility, making SAP compatible with aqueous formulations across a broad pH range.

In the skin, SAP is dephosphorylated by endogenous phosphatases to release active ascorbic acid, which then participates in collagen synthesis, antioxidant defense, and melanin regulation. Because the parent molecule is delivered gradually, SAP provides sustained vitamin C activity without the irritation often associated with high-dose L-ascorbic acid. It is widely used in cosmetic and personal care products, particularly in anti-aging, brightening, and photoprotective formulations.

For B2B buyers, SAP offers a stable, easy-to-handle raw material that integrates smoothly into emulsions, serums, and gels. Its compatibility with other actives and its favorable safety profile make it a preferred choice for formulators targeting skin tone evenness and oxidative stress reduction.

Chemical Structure & Properties

Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is the trisodium salt of L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate. The phosphate ester at C-2 prevents the molecule from undergoing the rapid lactone ring opening that degrades ascorbic acid in solution. The compound is a white to off-white powder, freely soluble in water (up to 50% w/v), and practically insoluble in ethanol. It remains stable in aqueous solutions at pH 5–8 and retains activity in the presence of common cosmetic preservatives.

작용 기전

• Enzymatic dephosphorylation: Skin phosphatases cleave the phosphate group, releasing ascorbic acid intracellularly.
• Collagen synthesis: Ascorbic acid serves as a cofactor for prolyl and lysyl hydroxylases, supporting collagen cross-linking.
• Antioxidant defense: Scavenges reactive oxygen species and regenerates α-tocopherol from its radical form.
• Melanin regulation: Inhibits tyrosinase activity by interacting with copper at the enzyme active site, reducing hyperpigmentation.
