Sodium bicarbonate, for cell culture
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Sodium bicarbonate, for cell culture (Sodium hydrogen carbonate for cell culture; Soda bicarbonate for cell culture) is an inorganic salt that is neutral to slightly alkaline and easily decomposes when exposed to moisture in the air. Sodium bicarbonate, for cell culture can maintain the pH of the culture medium, thereby affecting the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and nitric oxide (NO) production in macrophages and reversing the acidosis of the tumor microenvironment. Sodium bicarbonate is widely used in the fields of food, medicine, cosmetics, etc. Its main uses include buffers, flavoring agents, disinfectants, pharmaceuticals, and proton gradient regulators. Sodium bicarbonate is also commonly used as an antacid to inhibit gastrointestinal diseases, neutralize gastric acid, and reduce gastric discomfort.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Sodium bicarbonate (0.06-0.12 M; 48 h) significantly inhibits the growth of bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae[2].
Sodium bicarbonate (14-44 mM; 20 h) enhances iNOS protein expression and NO production in LPS/IFNγ-stimulated J774.1/JA-4 and RAW264.7 macrophages in a concentration-dependent manner by regulating intracellular and extracellular pH. At 44 mM, NO production increased by 2.7 times[3].
Sodium bicarbonate (0.3 M; 6 d) inhibits breast cancer cell migration and enhances the toxicity of doxorubicin to triple-negative breast cancer cells by increasing the pH of the tumor microenvironment to 7.39, reducing cell viability to 12%[3].

In Vivo
Sodium bicarbonate (0.25 g/kg; oral gavage; single dose) reduces alcohol intake by 20% and significantly reduces alcohol preference by 20% in mice[6].
