Tetrazolium Blue Chloride Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

yellow crystalline solid

Uses

Tetrazolium Blue Chloride is used for its anti-plasmodium activity. Also used in the study of inhibition of diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) reduction by β-amyloid peptides resulting in neurodegenerative manifestations. Dyes and metabolites.

Uses

For research in seed germination, as stain for bacteria and molds, in histochemical studies, to demonstrate oxidation-reduction enzymes in normal and cancerous tissues. See also Triphenyltetrazolium Chloride.

Definition

ChEBI: An organic chloride salt having tetrazolium blue(1+) as the counterion.
