Basic Green 4, also known as Malachite Green, is a cationic dye primarily utilized for its bactericidal properties in aquaculture and for the determination of phosphates in laboratory settings. It is characterized by significant cytotoxicity and potential carcinogenic effects on mammalian cells, evidenced by IC50 values of 2.03 µM for HEp-2 human laryngeal cells and 13.8 µM for Caco-2 human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. Additionally, Basic Green 4 has been associated with the promotion of liver tumor development, with a maximum absorbance wavelength of 621 nm.
