Citric acid-d4 is the deuterium labeled version of Citric acid. It functions as a natural preservative, food tartness enhancer, acidulant, emulsifier, sequestrant, and buffering agent across various industries. It is known to induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in HaCaT cells and can cause oxidative damage of the liver by decreasing antioxidative enzyme activities. Deuterium substitution has the potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs.
