Propanoic acid and various direct sodium or calcium salt formulations of the acid are currently most commonly approved and indicated by organizations like the FDA and EMA for use as an antibacterial food additive preservative in animal feed and food for human consumption. Similarly, although the use of propanoic acid or any of its direct sodium or calcium salt formulations as excipient ingredients in pharmaceuticals is not necessarily a major role for the compound today, sodium propionate was used in some vaginal cream preparations indicated for cervicitis, cervical tears, and/or postcauterization, postcryosurgery, and postconization of the cervix. In such products, the sodium propionate was primarily used to elicit a preservative, bacteriostatic effect while other active ingredients combined in the formulation like urea, benzalkonium chloride, inositol, and methionine and cystine amino acids facilitated debridement, enhanced medication spread, epithelialization promotion, and wound healing, respectively. Nevertheless, a great variety of propionic acid derivatives exist as separate pharmaceuticals, each with their own unique therapeutic categories, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics.
As a naturally occurring carboxylic acid, propionic acid typically undergoes metabolism via conversion to propionyl coenzyme A (propionyl-CoA), which is part of the usual metabolic pathway that carboxylic acids participate within in the human body. Most of propionic acid's antibacterial and preservative activities subsequently stem from this metabolic pathway as the metabolic fate of propionates varies in different microorganisms, resulting in antimicrobial mechanisms of action that may revolve around differing propionate metabolites causing competition, inhibition, and/or interference effects along other metabolic pathways in the various microorganisms affected. In the human body, however, propionic acid is generally metabolized with little ill effect and ultimately becomes a chemical intermediate in the citric acid cycle.
Absorption
Some propionic acid is oxidized to lactic acid during absorption, but most passes to the liver, which removes nearly all of it from the portal blood. Propionic acid represents 20-25% of absorbed volatile fatty acids. Propionic acid is rapidly absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract.
Route of Elimination
Most absorbed propionic acid is passed to the liver, which removes nearly all of it from the portal blood. Three days after a single oral administration of labeled sodium propionate, 77% of the radioactivity was found in expired air, and 7% in urine and feces.
Volume of Distribution
Three days after a single oral administration of labeled sodium propionate, 77% of the radioactivity was found in expired air, and 7% in urine and feces. The radioactivity found in skin, liver, intestine, and adipose tissue was 3.9, 1.1, 0.9, and 0.7%, respectively. Readily accessible data regarding the volume of distribution of propionic acid is not available.
Clearance
Readily accessible data regarding the clearance of propionic acid is not available.

Propionic acid is first converted to propionyl coenzyme A (propionyl-CoA), however, it directly enter either beta oxidation or the citric acid cycles. As propionic acid has three carbons, propionyl-CoA. In the majority of vertebrates, propionyl-CoA is carboxylated to D-methylmalonyl-CoA, which is then isomerised to L-methylmalonyl-CoA. A vitamin B12-dependent enzyme catalyzes rearrangement of L-methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA, which can then be used as a substrate in the citric acid cycle.
Propionate is formed as the terminal three-carbon fragment (as propionyl-coenzyme A) in the oxidation of odd-number carbon fatty acids and from oxidation of the side chain of cholesterol. Radioactivity from propionate admin to fasting rats may appear in glycogen, glucose, citric acid cycle intermediates, amino acids, and proteins. The route of metabolism of propionic acid involves interaction with coenzyme A, carboxylation to form methylmalonyl-coenzyme A, and conversion to succinic acid, which enters the citric acid cycle. Propionic acid may be oxidized without forming ketone bodies and in contrast to acetic acid, is incorporated into a carbohydrate as well as lipid.

Treatment with L-carnitine greatly enhanced the formation and excretion of short-chain acylcarnitines in three patients with propionic acidemia and in three normal controls. Mass spectrometry ... identified the acylcarnitine as propionylcarnitine in patients with propionic acidemia. The normal children excreted mostly acetylcarnitine. Propionic acidemia and other organic acidurias are characterized by the intramitochondrial accumulation of short-chain acyl-Coenzyme A (CoA) compounds. The substrate specificity of the carnitine acetyltransferase enzyme and its steady state nature appears to facilitate elimination of propionyl groups while restoring the acyl-acyl-Coenzyme A:free acyl-CoenzymeA ratio in the mitochondrion. L-carnitine may be a useful therapeutic approach for elimination of toxic acyl acyl-Coenzyme A compounds in several of these disorders.

The metabolic fate of propionates varies in different microorganisms. Some have enzyme systems that can convert succinate to propionyl-coenzyme A and through various further steps to propionate, CO2, or propionyl phoshpate. Still others can convert propionic acid to B-alanine or directly to CO2. Whatever the case, the inhibiting effect for microbials is likely related to competition with acetate in the acetokinase system, to the blockage of pyruvate conversion to acetyl-coenzyme A and to interference with B-alanine in pantothenic acid syntheses. Moreover, other studies suggest the antimicrobial activity of propionic acid revolves around its ability to reduce the pH of its immediate environment to levels of acidity that are harmful to pathogenic microbes as well as its ability to dissociate such that its lipid soluble undissociated form is capable of entering microbial cells. Additionally, there are also studies that suggest that propionic acid's antifungal activity may be the result of propionyl-CoA inhibiting glucose metabolism in certain species of fungus via the accumulation of the CoA-derivative.
