C.I.Reactive Blue 21 (CAS 12236-86-1)
QUICK LINKS
C.I.Reactive Blue 21, also known as Reactive Blue 21 (RB21), is an artificial dye classified as an anthraquinone dye. In scientific research, C.I.Reactive Blue 21 has found diverse applications, serving as a fluorescent probe to detect DNA and proteins, a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy, and a marker for assessing cell viability and apoptosis. The specific biological effects of C.I.Reactive Blue 21 vary depending on the particular application. When utilized as a fluorescent probe for DNA and protein detection, C.I.Reactive Blue 21 attaches itself to the minor groove of DNA and interacts with amino acid residues in proteins, resulting in alterations in fluorescence intensity. As a photosensitizer, C.I.Reactive Blue 21 is used to induce cell death in cancer cells through photodynamic therapy. Finally, C.I.Reactive Blue 21 is used to assess cell viability and apoptosis, as the dye is taken up by living cells and is not taken up by dead cells.
