Cat. No.: HY-D0227J Purity: 99.67%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

THAM hydrochloride (≥99%, for cell culture) is a low-toxicity amino alcohol buffer, a specific CO2-consuming proton acceptor that buffers carbon dioxide and acid both in vitro and in vivo. THAM hydrochloride (≥99%, for cell culture) binds protons to form bicarbonate, reduces PaCO2, and induces intracellular alkalization, thereby ameliorating hypercapnia-induced elevation of pulmonary blood vessels and pulmonary arterial pressure. THAM hydrochloride (≥99%, for cell culture) may cause PaCO2 rebound, hypoglycemia, and respiratory depression. THAM hydrochloride (≥99%, for cell culture) removes amniotic epithelium and preserves the basement membrane, but depletes extracellular matrix and reduces the adhesion rate of limbal epithelial cells. THAM hydrochloride (≥99%, for cell culture) can act as a CO2 carrier to enhance the productivity and carbon utilization rate of Scenedesmus obliquus. THAM hydrochloride (≥99%, for cell culture) is a key component of buffer solutions used in various biological, cell culture, biochemical, and molecular biology applications.

In Vitro

THAM (5 min) induces intracellular alkalization in human HepG2 hepatocytes perfused with acidotic artificial media, with a larger effect in the presence of low extracellular non-bicarbonate buffer compared to high extracellular non-bicarbonate buffer[3].
THAM (110 μL) hydrochloride induces intracellular alkalization in human HepG2 hepatocytes bathed in acidotic human blood[3].
THAM (2-8 mmol/L; 40 min) hydrochloride enhances CO2 gas absorptivity and total inorganic carbon storage capacity of modified BG-11 medium, with the highest TIC absorption observed at 8 mmol·L-1[5].
THAM (2-8 mmol/L; 8 days) hydrochloride improves biomass productivity of Scenedesmus dimorphus in indoor shake flask culture, while also increasing polyunsaturated fatty acid content and showing no biodegradation over 8 days[5].
THAM (6 mmol/L; 8 days) hydrochloride increases biomass areal productivity of Scenedesmus dimorphus by 32-33% and CO2 utilisation efficiency by 6-12% in outdoor 2 m2 raceway pond culture, while also increasing polyunsaturated fatty acid content[5].

Cell Proliferation Assay[5]

Cell Line: Scenedesmus dimorphus
Concentration: 2, 4, 6, 8 mmol/L
Incubation Time: 8 days
Result: Elevated algal biomass dose-dependently with optimal efficacy at 6 mmol/L.
Achieved 1.40 g/L biomass and 161.59 mg/(L·d), 66% above control values.
Boosted polyunsaturated fatty acids yet lowered C16-C18 fractions with rising doses; total lipid remained ~20%.

Cell Proliferation Assay[5]

Cell Line: Scenedesmus dimorphus
Concentration: 6 mmol/L
Incubation Time: 8 days (two cultivation batches: 12 Aug-20 Aug and 26 Aug-3 Sep)
Result: Boosted biomass and CO2 utilization in first trial, with productivity +33% and CO2 efficiency +12% vs control.
Elevated related indexes moderately in second trial, with 32% higher productivity and 6% improved CO2 efficiency.
Upregulated polyunsaturated fatty acid in two separate culture batches consistently.
Retained total lipid at approximately 20% across both batches.
In Vivo

THAM (weight in kg × 9.2 mEq; i.v.; 1 hour or 3 hours) hydrochloride reduces pulmonary vascular resistance and maintains lower pulmonary arterial pressure in lung-injured piglets with hypercapnia, even after pH rebounds to control levels, while increasing base excess and inducing a post-infusion rebound in PaCO2[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Piglets (23.0-30.5 kg body weight; acute respiratory distress syndrome induced by repeated lung lavages with 30 mL/kg 37-39 °C normal saline, eight total lavages)[1]
Dosage: weight in kg × 9.2 mEq (1-hour infusion group); weight in kg × 9.2 mEq (3-hour infusion group)
Administration: i.v.; 1 hour (1T group); 3 hours (3T group)
Result: Elevated arterial pH to 7.34 (1T) and 7.35 (3T) at 60 min.
Dropped PaCO₂ to 10.2 kPa (1T) and 10.6 kPa (3T) at 60 min.
Raised BE to 13.8 mEq/L (1T) and 16.0 mEq/L (3T) at 60 min, with sustained high BE at 6 h.
Triggered 6 h PaCO₂ rebound alongside synchronous pH decline in both cohorts.
Reduced PVR for both groups relative to control at 6 h.
Cut 3T group MPAP versus baseline control at 6 h.
Boosted 3T group CI above control levels at 6 h.
Decreased serum Na and elevated serum K throughout infusion in two groups.
Upregulated lung IL-6 in 3T group, with unchanged TNF-α and IL-6 across all groups.
Preserved equivalent lung mechanical parameters versus control groups.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
