Description

L-Tartaric acid is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water. It is a model system for the study of calcium and its interactions with other ions, such as sodium and magnesium. L-Tartaric acid has been found to decrease the growth of carcinoma cell lines and increase the activity of certain enzymes, such as sodium salts, in mammalian cells. L-Tartaric acid crystals have been used for biological samples and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. L-Tartaric acid also inhibits tumor growth in mice by inhibiting the production of proteins vital for cell division. This compound can be toxic at high doses and should not be administered to pregnant women or children.
