Disease relevance of Alphazurine

• A new species of genus Shewanella, Shewanella decolorationis S12, from activated sludge of a textile-printing wastewater treatment plant, can decolorize Reactive Brilliant Blue K-GR, one kind of anthraquinone dye, with flocculation first [1].
• A solution containing Brilliant Blue FCF dye and Escherichia coli, at an approximate concentration of 1 x 10(6) cells ml(-1), was applied to the sites through drip emitters [2].

High impact information on Alphazurine

• Activation of P2X7Rs in both cell types was verified by (a) low Km for ATP, (b) sensitivity to external divalent ions, (c) lack of desensitization/inactivation, (d) permeability to Na+, and (e) inhibition by Brilliant Blue G, Cu2+, and pyridoxal phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid tetrasodium [3].
• The deleterious effects of BzATP-treated microglia were prevented by nonselective P2X antagonists (PPADS and oxidized ATP) and by the more selective P2X(7) antagonist Brilliant Blue G [4].
• PPADS, the non-selective P2-receptor antagonist (3-30 microm), Brilliant blue G (1-100 nm) the P2X7 -selective antagonist and Zn2+ (0.1-30 microm) inhibited, whereas lack of Mg2+ potentiated the response by ATP [5].
• Remazol Brilliant Blue as a pre-stain for the immediate visualization of human serum proteins on polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis [6].
• Lipoamide dehydrogenase (EC 1.6.4.3) has been isolated from a total homogenate of frozen mycelium of the thermophilic fungus Malbranchea pulchella var. sulfurea by a three-step procedure involving ammonium sulfate fractionation, Procion Brilliant Blue M-R--Sepharose 4B chromatography, and hydroxylapatite chromatography [7].

Biological context of Alphazurine

• 3. The effect of BzATP on Akt phosphorylation in rat cortical astrocytes was significantly reduced by the P2X(7) receptor antagonist Brilliant Blue G and the P2X receptor antagonist iso-pyridoxal-5'-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid, but was unaffected by trinitrophenyl-ATP, oxidized ATP, suramin and reactive blue 2 [8].
• In the present study, activated bleaching earth was used as clay adsorbent for an investigation of the adsorbability and adsorption kinetics of acid dyes (i.e., acid orange 51, acid blue 9, and acid orange 10) with three different molecular sizes from aqueous solution at 25 degrees C in a batch adsorber [9].
• Brilliant blue dye was applied in water to a small number of field plots located in the carrot beds to trace water movement through the bed and not to simulate insecticide application or irrigation [10].
• The calibration of the models to the Brilliant Blue observations shows that Brilliant Blue has a solid biomass dependent sorption that is not compliant with the assumed linear constant Kd behaviour [11].
• Synthesis of 14C-labelled FD & C Blue No. 1 (Brilliant Blue FCF) and its intestinal absorption and metabolic fate in rats [12].

Anatomical context of Alphazurine

• In addition, Zn2+ inhibited ATP responses in the absence of Mg2+ and the P2X7 specific antagonist Brilliant Blue G completely blocked these responses in one half of synaptosomes [13].
• The decolorization of Reactive Brilliant Blue KN-R by immobilized cells has been studied [14].

Associations of Alphazurine with other chemical compounds

• Unlike Reactive Blue 2, effective concentrations of Brilliant Blue G did not substantially quench Fura 2 fluorescence [15].
• The ability of Brilliant Blue G (Coomassie Brilliant Blue G) and Reactive Blue 2 (Cibacron Blue 3GA) to block the effects of extracellular ATP on rat parotid acinar cells was examined by evaluating their effects on ATP-stimulated 45Ca2+ entry and the elevation of [Ca2+]i (Fura 2 fluorescence) [15].
• The degradation rate of erioglaucine was not so high when the photolysis was carried out in the absence of TiO2 and it was negligible in the absence of UV light [16].
• Photocatalytic degradation of the herbicide erioglaucine in the presence of nanosized titanium dioxide: comparison and modeling of reaction kinetics [16].
• The present work mainly deals with photocatalytic degradation of a herbicide, erioglaucine, in water in the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles (Degussa P-25) under ultraviolet (UV) light illumination (30 W) [16].

Gene context of Alphazurine

• This effect was blocked by the P2 antagonists suramin and PPADS (pyridoxal-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid) and by the P2X7-selective inhibitor Brilliant Blue G [17].
• The P2X7 inhibitors, Mg2+ (5 mM), OxATP (300 microM) and Brilliant Blue (100 nM), blocked the efflux of fura-2 and ATP-induced R340/380 decrease [18].
• GTR was observable as a 46 kDa band by Brilliant blue G staining of SDS-PAGE gels [19].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Alphazurine

• Modified critical conditions for prestaining human serum proteins with Remazol Brilliant Blue and separation by disc electrophoresis [20].
• One main component dye of the blue gel pen ink, Acid Blue 9, and its degradation products were identified by ion-pairing high performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry [21].
• We present a new dilution technique using the food color Brilliant Blue FCF (Euro code E-133) to mark the fluid column and using a specially constructed photometric sensor to characterize the dilution of this dye over time [22].
• Endosperm and embryo proteins were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and visualized by staining with Commassie Brilliant Blue, and gel images were analyzed with a computer assisted image analyzer [23].
• Brilliant blue was added to feeds and reflux was determined by staining of a cotton thread opposite the holes in a feeding tube passing from the nose to the distal oesophagus [24].
