| Bioactivity | Citric acid trisodium is a natural preservative and food tartness enhancer. Citric acid trisodium induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase and S phase. Citric acid trisodium cause oxidative damage of the liver by means of the decrease of antioxidative enzyme activities. Citric acid trisodium causes renal toxicity in mice[1][2][3]. |
| Invitro | Citric acid trisodium (0-12.5 mM; 24 h) shows antiproliferative activity in a dose dependent manner[3].Citric acid trisodium (12.5 mM; 72 h) induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase and S phase in a dosedependent manner[3].Citric acid trisodium (12.5 mM; 48 h) increases the expression of FAS, BAX, BID, AIF, EndoG, cytochrome c, PARP, GADD153, GRP78 and caspase-3, -8, -9, and decreases of BCL-2 and BCL-Xl[3].
