2-O-α-D-Glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic acid (AA-2G) is a glucosylated derivative of L-ascorbic acid (Item No. ) that has antioxidant and radioprotective activities.^,, It scavenges 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH; Item No. ) radicals in a cell-free assay (EC₅₀ = 61 μM in 60% ethanol). AA-2G (5 mM) inhibits γ-radiation-induced cell death in CHO-10B2 and radiosensitive xrs5 cells, as well as UVC- or broadband UVB-induced cell death in CHO-10B2 and UV-sensitive UV135 cells. It is hydrolyzed to ascorbic acid by α-glucosidase and increases serum levels of ascorbic acid in rats and guinea pigs when administered orally at doses of 19.2 and 96 mg/animal, respectively. AA-2G (19.2 mg/animal per day) reverses weight loss and inhibits subcutaneous hemorrhage in guinea pigs fed a vitamin C-deficient diet.
