| Application: | Citric acid was used as a test reagent for studying whether the novel pyridazinylpiperazine analog TPRV-1 inhibitor can reduce cough reflex induced by citric acid and capsaicin in guinea pig. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Citric acid in dietary form can augments absorption of aluminium in antacids. It also facilitates the phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminated soil and can transform cadmium into more transportable forms. |
