High impact information on [4-[bis[4-[ethyl-[(3-sulfophenyl)methyl]amino]phenyl]methylene]-1-cyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene]-dimethyl-ammonium

• Using a new vital dye, acid violet 49, as a stain, a series of possible coatings including albumin and hyaluronic acid was evaluated in vitro and in vivo [1].
• The levels of the colour distributed in the liver, kidney abdominal muscle and blood serum were in the range of 1--3 microgram/g of tissue in rats fed a diet containing 5% Benzyl Violet 4B for 8 weeks, whereas they were slightly lower in rats fed the diet for 18 weeks [2].
• Fresh allogeneic nonadherent peripheral blood mononuclear cells were incubated with the corneal-cell populations and assayed for lymphocyte binding and target-cell cytotoxicity by acid-violet-49 vital staining [3].
• The vital dye, acid violet 49, was applied to evaluate endothelial cell function and damage [4].
