Product Data Sheet
Methylene Violet 3RAX
Catalog No. A78599
Methylene Violet 3RAX is a phenazine dye primarily targeting mitochondria for cellular staining. This reagent can alter DNA molecular structure and induce the production of reactive singlet oxygen. It also exhibits inhibitory activity against human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and human plasma butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) with inhibition constants (Ki) of 1.58 and 0.51 µM, respectively. Methylene Violet 3RAX is valuable for researching potential photosensitizers aimed at mitochondrial targeting in photodynamic therapy (PDT).
