4.1 Therapeutic Uses

EXPL THER An efficcacy and safety test of a tablet containing 200 mg malic acid (and 50 mg magnesium) was conducted using patients with primary fibromyalgia syndrome. In the first part of the test, 24 patients were given three tablets twice daily (bid) for 4 weeks. In the second part, 16 patients started with three tablets bid and increased the dosage every 3 to 5 days as necessary; at month 6, the average dose was 8.8 tablets per day. (For a 50-kg person, ingestion of six tablets would be equivalent to 24 mg of malate/kg of body weight). In the first part of the study, one test patient reported diarrhea, one reported nausea, and one reported dyspepsia. (In the placebo group, two patients reported diarrhea and one reported dyspepsia.) In the second part of the study, five test patients reported diarrhea, one reported nausea, one reported dyspepsia, one reported panic attacks, and one reported dizziness.

EXPL THER Organic acids in Chinese herbs, the long-neglected components, have been reported to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiplatelet aggregation activities; thus they may have potentially protective effect on ischemic heart disease. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the protective effects of two organic acids, that is, citric acid and L-malic acid, which are the main components of Fructus Choerospondiatis, on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and the underlying mechanisms. In in vivo rat model of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, we found that treatments with citric acid and L-malic acid significantly reduced myocardial infarct size, serum levels of TNF-alpha, and platelet aggregation. In vitro experiments revealed that both citric acid and L-malic acid significantly reduced LDH release, decreased apoptotic rate, downregulated the expression of cleaved caspase-3, and upregulated the expression of phosphorylated Akt in primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation injury. These results suggest that both citric acid and L-malic acid have protective effects on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury; the underlying mechanism may be related to their anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet aggregation and direct cardiomyocyte protective effects. These results also demonstrate that organic acids, besides flavonoids, may also be the major active ingredient of Fructus Choerospondiatis responsible for its cardioprotective effects and should be attached great importance in the therapy of ischemic heart disease. /L-Malic Acid/

EXPL THER Objectives: Assessing the clinical effectiveness of a topical sialogogue on spray (malic acid, 1%) in the treatment of xerostomia induced by antihypertensive drugs. Study Design: This research has been carried out through a randomized double-blind clinical trial. 45 patients suffering from hypertensive drugs-induced xerostomia were divided into 2 groups: the first group (25 patients) received a topical sialogogue on spray (malic acid, 1%) whereas the second group (20 patients) received a placebo. Both of them were administered on demand for 2 weeks. Dry Mouth Questionnaire (DMQ) was used in order to evaluate xerostomia levels before and after product/placebo application. Unstimulated and stimulated salivary flows rates, before and after application, were measured. All the statistical analyses were performed by using SPSS software v17.0. Different DMQ scores at the earliest and final stage of the trial were analysed by using Mann-Whitney U test, whereas Student's T-test was used to analyse salivary flows. Critical p-value was established at p<0.05. Results: DMQ scores increased significantly (clinical recovery) from 1.21 to 3.36 points (p<0.05) after malic acid (1%) application whereas DMQ scores increased from 1.18 to 1.34 points (p>0.05) after placebo application. After two weeks of treatment with malic acid, unstimulated salivary flow increased from 0.17 to 0.242 mL/min whereas the stimulated one increased from 0.66 to 0.92 mL/min (p<0.05). After placebo application unstimulated flow ranged from 0.152 to 0.146 mL/min and stimulated flow increased from 0.67 to 0.70 mL/min (p>0.05). Conclusions: Malic acid 1% spray improved antihypertensive-induced xerostomia and stimulated the production of saliva.

Fourteen patients, 11 males and 3 females, with various forms of ichthyosiformdermatoses were used to evaluate the therapeutic potential of more than 60 chemicals, including malic acid. Malic acid was dissolved in either water or ethanol and incorporated into a hydrophilic ointment of plain petrolatum. The ointment, containing 5% malic acid (pH not specified), was applied twice daily to the appropriate test site for 2 weeks. Daily to weekly observations were made. Malic acid provided 3+ (disappearance of scales from lesions) or 4+ (restoration to normal looking skin) improvement in all patients except one with epidermolytic hyperkeratosis.

5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Upon oral and IP administration of radioactive malic acid to rats, most of the radioactivity was excreted as carbon dioxide.

5.2 Metabolism/Metabolites

Acidulents. Like l-(14)C4 malic acid, dl-(14)C4 malic acid, when admin ip or orally to rats was extensively metabolized; 90-95% of (14)C was excreted through lungs as (14)CO2. ... Metabolized at same rate irrespective of route admin ... . /L- & dl-malic acid/

The Chemical Society. Foreign Compound Metabolism in Mammals. Volume 1: A Review of the Literature Published Between 1960 and 1969. London: The Chemical Society, 1970., p. 246


Malic acid is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle. It is formed from fumaric acid and is oxidized to oxaloacetic acid. It is also metabolized to pyruvic acid by malic enzyme which is present in many biologic systems, including bacteria and plants. L-Malic and dl-malic acid are both rapidly metabolized in the rat. Orally or ip administered l- or dl-malic acid was extensively eliminated as carbon dioxide (83 to 92%). No differences between the two forms were found in the rates (90 to 95% in 24 hr) or routes of excretion.

Malates are normal constituents of the diet of humans and animals and, when ingested, are rapidly and completely metabolized to CO2. /Malates/
