Ruthenium red

CAS: 11103-72-3

Ruthenium red is a potent inhibitor of the channel that mediates the release of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum into the cytosol. It also inhibits neuronal death induced by receptor activity. Ruthenium red has been shown to have inhibitory properties against p-nitrophenyl phosphate, an activator of protein kinase C and a stimulator of mitochondrial permeability transition. Ruthenium red has also been shown to inhibit dinucleotide phosphate-dependent phosphohydrolases and ryanodine receptors. Furthermore, it binds to nuclear DNA in prokaryotic cells and affects gene transcription.
