Calcium propionate, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Reference Standard
Calcium propionate, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Reference Standard (Bioban-C (Pharmaceutical primary standard, USP)) is a calcium salt of Propionic acid with oral activity, which can be hydrolyzed into propionate and calcium ions. Calcium propionate, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Reference Standard elevates intracellular ROS levels in tumor cells, depletes GSH, reduces mitochondrial membrane potential, and thereby induces tumor cell apoptosis. In mouse colitis models, Calcium propionate, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Reference Standard modulates inflammatory factors such as IFN-γ, calprotectin, and Pglyrp3, ameliorating intestinal inflammation and metabolic disorders. In ruminants, Calcium propionate, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Reference Standard serves as a gluconeogenic precursor, regulating rumen fermentation and microbial diversity; in high-fat diet rats, it alters gut microbiota composition and affects blood biochemical parameters. Calcium propionate, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Reference Standard is commonly used as a food and feed additive, and is also used in research related to hypocalcemia, dyslipidemia, colitis, and lung cancer.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Calcium propionate, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Reference Standard (0-16 mg/mL; 24 h) exerts dose-dependent cytotoxic effects on A549 lung cancer cells with an IC50 of 5.44 mg/mL, and inhibits DMS114 cells with an IC50 of 12.15 mg/mL, whereas Beas-2B normal lung cells maintain viability above 70% at all tested concentrations[5].
Calcium propionate, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Reference Standard (0-16 mg/mL; 24 h) increases intracellular ROS levels, with the most significant effect observed in A549 cells[5].
Calcium propionate, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Reference Standard (0.25-16 mg/mL; 24 h) significantly reduces intracellular GSH levels in A549 and DMS114 lung cancer cells, with the greatest reduction observed in A549 cells[5].
Calcium propionate, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Reference Standard (0.25-8 mg/mL; 24 h) significantly reduces the mitochondrial membrane potential in A549 and DMS114 lung cancer cells, with the greatest reduction observed in A549 cells[5].
Calcium propionate, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Reference Standard (0.25-8 mg/mL; 24 h) induces apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner, with the highest apoptosis rate observed in A549 lung cancer cells[5].

In Vivo
Calcium propionate, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Reference Standard (0.5-2.0% of food weight; p.o.; daily; 20 days) decreases relative spleen weight and increases relative kidney weight, induces moderate dyslipidemia and elevated De Ritis and Ca/P ratios, and significantly disrupts the gut microbiota by reducing Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus while promoting Clostridium, Enterococcus, Klebsiella, and Candida, with antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus[2].
Calcium propionate, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Reference Standard (100-300 g; p.o.; daily; from parturition to 63 days postpartum) improves the energy status of early-lactation dairy cows, with an optimal dose of approximately 200 g per cow per day[3].
Calcium propionate, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Reference Standard (3.85% w/v; drinking water; free access; 7 days) alleviates DSS-induced colitis in C57BL/6 mice, reduces liver weight, liver-to-body weight ratio, and abdominal fat, and decreases plasma IFN-γ and fecal calprotectin, while enhancing Pglyrp3[4].
