Resorufin

Description:
Resorufin is a fluorescent compound that is widely used in biochemical assays and research due to its properties as a redox indicator. It is derived from resorcinol and is characterized by its bright red color and strong fluorescence, making it useful for detecting enzymatic activity, particularly in assays involving dehydrogenases. Resorufin has a molecular formula of C12H10N2O3 and a relatively low molecular weight. It is soluble in water and organic solvents, which enhances its versatility in various experimental conditions. The compound exhibits a significant change in fluorescence intensity in response to changes in pH and redox potential, allowing for sensitive detection in biological systems. Additionally, resorufin is often used in cell viability assays and as a substrate for certain enzymes, making it a valuable tool in pharmacological and toxicological studies. Its stability under physiological conditions and ease of detection contribute to its popularity in scientific research.
